User Tips
-
If your fan is operating automatically after installation, it is still using the factory setting. Follow the settings for Learn Mode above to reset.
-
If the fan or light isn’t working, reset power (turn the power off then turn the power back on) and follow the Universal Mode or Learn Mode remote control settings.
If you want to change it back to Universal Mode from Learn Mode, and you have made the Lean Mode setting twice, you will need to make the same Learn Mode setting on Universal Mode. -
If two or more fans in the same remote signal range are on the same power supply, they cannot be operated separately by remote control. Use a separate power supply for each fan, such as an individual wall switch, and restrict the power supply to only the fan which you are pairing with its transmitter in order to use the remote controller.
-
When the fan is turned on to oscillate in either forward or reverse direction, it may shudder briefly until fully engaged. This is a normal operation for this fan; the shuddering will quickly cease as movement is engaged.
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO CONDITIONS. (1)THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.
Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of
incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation
errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check
this Troubleshooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, or you are
experiencing difficulty in installation, please call our Customer Service
Center at the number printed on your parts list insert sheet.
Warning: Before you begin installing, servicing or cleaning the fan unit,
switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service panel to
prevent the power from being switched back on accidentally. If the service
panel cannot be locked to prevent the power from being switched on
accidentally, securely fasten a warning sign to the service panel.
| Trouble | Suggested Remedy |
|---|---|
| 1. If fan does not start: | 1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit |
breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch
housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3. If this fan uses manual forward/reverse switch, make sure the switch is
pushed firmly either way. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
4. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the
correct setting and make sure the battery works.
2. If fan sounds noisy:| 1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing
are snug (not over tightened).
2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the
motor are tight.
3. Check to make sure wire nut 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 entering switch
housing.
4. Check to be sure lightbulb is tight in socket and not touching the glass
shade.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed
controls.
6. Allow “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan
will disappear after this period.
3. If fan wobbles:| 1. If this is a downrod mount fan, make sure the ridge
on mounting bracket engages the notch in the downrod ball.
2. Make sure that canopy, mounting bracket or mounting plate are tightened
securely to ceiling junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling
joist.
3. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
4. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
5. Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check
this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the
blades. Measure this distance from blade tip to ceiling. Keeping measure
within 1/8″, rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for
measurement. Repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you can
adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down,
insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw
closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied)
between the blade and blade holder at the two screws farthest from the motor.
Reverse the position of the washer if blades mount from top of blade.
6. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
If the above steps do not eliminate the wobble problem, you will need to
dynamically balance your fan with balancing kit provided.
4. If light does not work:| 1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is
connected to hot wire from house.
2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4. Check for faulty lightbulb and make sure bulb is tight in socket.
5. Remove light kit and check the plug connections if they are present.
6. If this fan uses a remote controller, make sure dip switches are in the
correct setting and make sure the battery works.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch
housing and/or canopy.
