warmiplanet WICF12 Ceiling Fan with Light
Product Information
The ceiling fan is an electrical appliance that is designed to circulate air in a room to provide comfort and coolness. The product comes with a user manual that contains important information about the installation, usage, and troubleshooting of the ceiling fan. The fan has a forward/reverse switch that controls the direction of the fan blades, and it also has a light kit that comes as an optional feature.
Product Usage Instructions
Before starting the installation process, read all the instructions and safety information carefully and save them for future reference. It is essential to turn off the power to the fan before installing it or replacing accessories to avoid electrical shock.
Safety Tips:
- Do not use a wall switch with speed control or dimmer function as it may cause the fan to malfunction.
- Use gloves while handling fan parts with sharp edges to avoid personal injury.
- Ensure all electrical connections comply with local codes or ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
- Select a location for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other upright structures.
- The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CETL or CUL in Canada or ETL or UL in USA listed outlet boxes marked FOR FAN SUPPORT.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be due to incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. Check the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Suggested Remedy |
|---|---|
| If fan does not start: |
-
Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
-
Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in bottom or top
position. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle. -
Make sure that the wall control is turned ON.
-
Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections
in switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned
off.
If fan sounds noisy:|
-
Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over
tightened). -
Make sure the screws which attach the fan blade bracket to the
motor are tight. -
Make sure wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling
against each other or against the interior wall of the switch
housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before
accessing switch housing. -
If using an optional ceiling fan light kit, make sure the
screws securing the glassware are finger tight. Make sure light
bulb is tight in socket and not touching glass shade(s). If
vibration persists from glass, remove glass and install a 1/4 in.
wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an insulator. Replace
glass and tighten screws against rubber band. -
Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State
variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed
control. -
Allow break-in period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with
a new fan will disappear after this period.
If fan wobbles:|
-
Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over
tightened). -
Make sure the screws which attach the fan blade bracket to the
motor are tight. -
Make sure wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling
against each other or against the interior wall of the switch
housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before
accessing switch housing. -

WARNING : To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the power to
the fan before installing the fan or replacing accessories.
-
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION : To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges. -
Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
-
Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other upright structures.

The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CETL or CUL in Canada or ETL or UL in USA listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lb) or less,” and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12 gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12 gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use. -

After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
-
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.
WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.] (Note: This fan is suitable for use with remote control.) -
Do not operate the reverse switch until fan has come to a complete stop. [Note: If using remote control with reverse capability, reverse fan blade direction only when on LOW speed.]
-
Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
