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
r
oom and at least 2.1 m above the floor and 46 cm from
the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan
2. 5 m - 2.75 m 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.

effect, making you "feel" cooler. Select a fan speed that
provides a comfortable breeze, lower speeds consume
l
ess 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.
Make sure main power is turned OFF.
