Energy Efficient Use
of Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily on
the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan. Here are a
few tips to ensure quality and product performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location. Ceiling
fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the
room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18 inches from
the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 8 - 9 feet
above the floor for optimal airflow. Consult your Emerson
Retailer for optional mounting accessories.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer, use
the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction. The airflow
produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, mak-
ing you "feel" cooler. Select a fan speed that provides a
comfortable breeze, lower speeds consume less energy. In
the winter, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at
low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces a gentle
updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the
occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat when
using your ceiling fan - additional energy and dollar savings
could be realized with this simple step!
Turn Off When Not in the Room. Ceiling fans cool people,
not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan
to save energy.
Maintenance
1. Restore electrical power to the outlet box by turning
the electricity on at the main fuse box.
2. Check the operation of the fan by gently pulling on
the pull chain switch.
3. All fans are shipped from the factory with the
reversing switch positioned to circulate air down-
ward.
4. If airflow is desired in opposite direction, turn your
fan off and wait for the blades to stop turning, then
pull on the reversing control pull chain and turn fan
on again. The fan blades will turn in the opposite
direction and reverse the airflow.
Your fan model is equipped with a 4-position,
3-speed pull chain switch. The operating sequence
is as follows:
THREE-SPEED
1st Pull—HIGH
2nd Pull—Medium
3rd Pull—Low
4th Pull—OFF

Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is the only
maintenance that is needed.

to avoid scratching the finish.
Abrasive cleaning agents are not required and should
be avoided to prevent damage to finish.
