Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan
1. Because of the fan's natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check
the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they
are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use
only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed
with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water when
cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical
shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades for additional
protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe
polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.

The Reverse switch is located on the motor
housing. Slide the switch to the Left for warm
weather operation. Slide the switch to the
Right for cool weather operation.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height and number of fans.
NOTE:
Wait for fan to stop before changing
the setting of the slide switch.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow
creates a cooling effect as shown in Fig. 23.
This allows you to set your air conditioner
on a warmer setting without effecting your
comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow
moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in
Fig. 24. This allows you to set your heating unit
on a cooler setting without effecting your
comfort.
