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, making 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.
