6 • Assembling the Blades  
Step 6-1 (Detail)  
Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons (brackets that hold the  
blade to the fan).  
6-1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets,  
insert them by hand into the holes on the blades.  
6-2. Attach each blade to a blade iron using three blade assembly  
screws. If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose  
after screws are tightened. is is normal.  
6-3. Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping bumpers  
from the motor. Note: Some blade mounting screws are installed  
in the motor to secure shipping blocks.

8 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan  
8-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.  
8-2. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e 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.  
• e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the  
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into  
the connector.  
8-3. 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  
8-4. e 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.  
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.  
Pull the reversing switch pull chain. Restart fan.

Hunter fans have the power to cut your cooling costs up to 40%.  
Beat the High Cost of Cooling  
e air movement created by a Hunter ceiling fan lets you set your  
thermostat higher and still stay comfortable. Every degree you  
raise the thermostat saves up to 7% on energy costs. So, you can  
cut back on expensive air conditioning...and save up to 40%* on  
cooling. In winter, your Hunter fan recirculates warm air and saves  
up to 10%* on heating bills.  
* On average at low speed settings. Your savings may vary based  
on climate, building type and thermostat setting.
