8 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan 8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan. 8-2. The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain has four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low, and Off. • Pull the chain slowly to change settings. • Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the blades. • The chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into the connector. 8-3. The light pull chain is used to turn on, dim, and turn off the light. • Pull the chain once to turn the light on to full brightness. • Pull the chain again to turn the light off. • Pull the chain for at least 6 seconds and the dimming sequence begins. The light varies from 'bright' to 'dim' over approximately 12 seconds. Release the chain when the desired level is reached. • With the Autoresume feature, the on/off operation (pulling the chain for less than 6 seconds) maintains the desired brightness level previously set. • When the power to the wallswitch is turned off the light will return to maximum brightness when the power resumes. In warm weather, use downward air flow pattern 8-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct breeze. In winter, 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. 8-5. 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. In cold weather, use upward air flow pattern To Change Airflow Direction Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete stop. Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the opposite position. Restart fan. 8-6. The blades on this fan have been treated with Hunter's Dust Armor protection, making the blades less likely to attract dust and dirt. Use a dry or slightly damp lint free cloth to clean the blades. Do not use a furniture polish or any other cleaners that leave any residue, as they will damage the protective Dust Armor on the blades. Reversing Switch 14 42882-01 • 12/14/10 • Hunter Fan Company
