11 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan 11-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan. 11-2. 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. In warm weather, use downward air flow pattern 11-3. 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. 11-4. 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. 14 In cold weather, use upward air flow pattern Hunter Fan Company 42501 Sunset Boulevard.indd 14 10/24/2005, 11:06 AM 42501-01 • 10/24/05
