If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts Department at 888-830-1326.
Preparing the Fan Site
Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in
the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan
location and attachment to the building structure are essential for
safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, this fan should
not be installed directly over cooking areas.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, care must be taken
when installing the fan that the blades are at least 30” from the nearest
obstruction (such as cabinet doors). Refer to the Site Prep Sheet for
additional information.

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. e light pull chain controls power to the light. e pull chain has
two settings: On and Off.
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.
11
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.
8-6. Clean the blades in the same manner as the fan finish. You can
also remove the blades and clean them in the dishwasher.
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.
