11 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan In warm weather, use downward air flow pattern In cold weather, use upward air flow pattern 11-1. Restore power at the main electrical panel and turn on the wall switch. The light kit should turn ON. To dim the light, hold the light button down until you reach your desired brightness. Push the light button again to turn off the light. Note: To turn on the light without the remote, turn off the wall switch for 5 seconds, then back on. The light kit will turn on at maximum brightness. 11-2. Press the remote control's HIGH speed button. The fan should start and reach its maximum speed. Note: For everyday operation, leave the wall switch ON. If the remote control will not be used for 5 days or more, turn the wall switch OFF. 11-3. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct breeze. In cold weather, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling around the room without causing a draft. 11-4. For cleaning finishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish. 11-5. Clean wood finish blades with a furniture polishing cloth. Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the same manner as the fan finish. To Change Airflow Direction Press the reversing switch on the remote while the fan is running. 17 42683-01 • 09/11/09 • Hunter Fan Company
