Hey Jennifer,
Look closely at the base of the globe.. there is (usually)(three of these).. a small groove(s) that make a 90* bend ..these grooves mate to the three screws on the side of the fan's globe socket,, the screws have to be backed out a little to allow the globe to seat and the screws guide the globe in place, once the globe is in place then retighten each screw a little at a time until the globe is tight

I had the exact same problem. To solve it, I had a friend hold the area of the fan that the globe screws into. I wore rubber dish gloves to get a good grip and pushed up slightly on the globe as I turned counter-clockwise. My friend held the other part and turned clockwise a little as well. It took a lot of pressure for it to finally come loose and then we just turned it about another 90 degrees and the globe slips right out of the groove.
I couldn't believe how hard this was to do.

At the top of the pull chain there is a metal piece; this is threaded on a bolt. Unscrew the metal piece and lower the globe to expose the bulbs then remove and replace the bulb(s). I recommend flourescents as they are more economical, run cooler and last linger than incandescents (regular bulbs).
SOURCE: can't remove bulb cover to install new light bulb. Tried turning counter clockwise - no luck.
Hi, If there are no metal fasteners on or around the bulb to holld it in, it will need to be twisted. Try and put a towel on the lens to help you get a better grip.
It sometimes take a great amount of force to turn the lens.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.

This is a universal suggestion, not specifically for your model. There should be a small switch just under the blades ... one position is for summer the other for winter. Move the switch up or down to change the direction of rotation.
