Operation - Fan PULL CHAIN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Install the pull chain and fob (CC) onto the pull chain located in the switch housing (JJJ). Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed as follows: 1 pull - High, 2 pulls - Medium, 3 pulls - Low, and 4 pulls - Off. Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and number of fans.
Operation - Misting Device Ensure the switch (KKK) is in the OFF position (O). Plug the electrical cord into a 120v outlet. ON-OFF Button: This button is used to regulate the misting device. KKK MIST FEATURE EXPERIENCE □ The misting feature is most effective with the fan at medium speed, low outside humidity, and a light breeze. Water accumulation from mist should be none to minimal in these conditions.
Operation - Misting Device (continued) INITIAL OPERATION AND USE AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME □ When first powering on the pump, air needs to evacuate from the water lines. The result will be intermittent water spitting until all air bubbles are removed. This is normal. □ When turning on the mist system after a period of non-use, there may be a brief plastic smell to the water from the lines. Keeping water lines out of direct sunlight helps to prevent this.
Care and Cleaning - Misting Device CLEANING THE NOZZLES BB Check nozzle function regularly. If the nozzles lose performance or become clogged, clean or replace the nozzles. To clean the nozzles: □ Remove the fan from the ceiling or unscrew mist ring cover (MMM) from the top using a ladder. If removing from ceiling, remove the hanger ball (RR) from the downrod (VV), and then take out the canopy (B) and misting ring cover (D). □ Remove nozzles (NNN) from the misting ring (E).
Care and Cleaning - Fan Do □ Do not Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling. □ Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
Troubleshooting - Fan (continued) Problem Solution □ Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts). Once the fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust. If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process: The fan wobbles.
