Installing wall mounted holder
Attach wall mounted remote holder using the two screws provided.

Learning / Pairing Setup
The handset and remote control receiver module are pre-programmed at the factory and do not normally require pairing. Should they not function when first installed, or you wish to control 2 fans using 1 handset, or you need to pair a replacement handset please follow the below procedure.

1. Ensure that AC power is isolated (switched off) to the ceiling fan.
2. Restore AC power to the fan. Within 30 seconds PRESS and HOLD the Fan Power button for 5 seconds.
3. The remote control receiver module will beep twice to indicate the pairing process was successful.

Caring for and operating your remote control

• Ensure the batteries are correctly installed in the hand piece. Please allow a moment between each switching operation. Please handle the transmitter with care, be sure not to drop or expose it to water, high humidity or place it too close to a heating element. Improper handling may result in malfunction and void the warranty. The remote control is operated by Radio Frequency so it isn’t necessary to point the unit at the ceiling fan.

Blade balancing
Whilst every precaution is taken at the factory to ensure your fan is of the highest quality, imbalance may occur. This may be due to slight irregularities in the blades or material densities. Further problems can be caused by deviating from these instructions. The following procedure may help to rectify the situation.

1. The hanger bracket must always be tight against the ceiling so that no movement can occur.
2. Make sure that the downrod is firmly locked into the hanger ball on top of the fan. The locking screw should be securely tightened. Hanger Ball slot is locked into the tab in the hanger bracket.
3. Check all the blades are firmly tightened onto the motor.
4. Changing over two adjacent blades – may correct any imbalance causing wobble.
5. Please note that downrod style of fans have a slight level of movement but this is not dangerous. Longer downrods may amplify the amount of wobble.

Care and cleaning

• The motor has permanently sealed bearings so no lubrication is necessary.
• Periodic cleaning of your new fan is recommended (particularly the blades). The plated or painted surfaces of your fan have been sealed with a lacquer to minimize any discoloration or tarnishing. Therefore use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
• Do not use water or chemicals when cleaning your fan as this could damage the surfaces of the casing and the blades and may create the possibility of an electric shock.

You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Mechanical and Structural Components
Your Product is covered against mechanical and structural defects that prevent it from working by a limited 36 month on-site warranty. This warranty covers only the product itself and excludes workmanship or materials related to its installation or any modifications. A major failure may be, for example, a motor defect preventing a product from operating shortly after it was first installed or if it was damaged while in the original packaging. If the product stops working due to a mechanical or structural defect within the first 36 months we will repair or replace the product at our discretion.

Electronic Components
Your Product is covered against electronic defects that prevent it from working by a limited 12 month on-site warranty. This warranty covers only the electronics supplied with the product and excludes workmanship or materials related to its installation or any modifications. A major failure may be, for example, a power module that failed shortly after it was first installed or if it was damaged while in the original packaging. If the product stops working due to an electronic defect within the first 12 months we will repair or replace the electronic part at our discretion.

Compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss

• Compensation normally comprises us paying associated labour costs to replace the defective product if it’s installed within a reasonable distance from our repair agent. If beyond a reasonable distance (30km) you can arrange your own electrician and we will compensate you for this up to a maximum of $115.00 inc GST. Note, we do not pay extra for extended travelling time or additional costs when the job requires a longer than average time to complete.
• To prevent or limit costs you may incur for service calls, you must notify us of the intention to use your own contractor and not engage one until we have spoken to them (to arrange parts that may be required). If the problem is not a defect covered by our warranty terms you will have to pay all costs. To reduce cost and inconvenience for all involved we will do our best to diagnose the fault and supply parts before the contractor visits the site.

Eligibility for In-Home Service Calls
Hard wired electrical products must (by law) be installed by a licensed electrician. To obtain in-home warranty service you must be able to provide a copy of the installing electricians invoice or the Certificate of Compliance given to you when the product was first wired up and tested. If you cannot provide this information we limit our warranty to repair or replacement of the product at our workshop and you will bear the costs of removal, shipping to us and reinstallation. We will pay the freight to send the rectified unit back to you.

Access to products
Products installed on ceilings 4m and above may require special access equipment or WH&S measures. All costs for this equipment must be borne by the site owner and the ceiling height given when booking a service call. If a service agent chooses not to access a product installed at height due to WH&S concerns the owner must remove and reinstall the product at their own expense.

Isolation Switches
Australian Standards require our instructions to state an isolation switch must be fitted. This allows the product to be physically switched off in case of faults or to prevent damage from surges, lightning, etc. Emergency disconnection and/or remote control re-programming that can’t be performed due to lack of an isolation switch is not covered by warranty.

Commencement
The warranty period begins from date of purchase and in-home warranty service is available only at the site of original installation. If the product is installed as part of a project or development the warranty period commences when the product was delivered to the site.

Damage
Damage from Force Majeure, electrical surges, wind, rain, lightning, power grid fluctuations, water ingress, condensation or use with incompatible power sources will not be rectified under warranty. Likewise solid state or dimmer type speed controls may damage ceiling fans or cause them to make unusual noises. Genuine parts and advice are available through our online and telephone support services.

Cosmetic defects
Carefully inspect your product prior to installation and notify us as soon as possible if there are cosmetic defects. Cosmetic defects are generally not covered by warranty unless present when the product is initially unpacked. Damage from being struck by objects or not being kept clean is not covered by warranty.

Corrosion
Deterioration of finishes, including rusting, pitting, corrosion, fading, tarnishing or peeling is not covered by warranty beyond six months. Products specified as corrosion resistant or made from Stainless Steel are not corrosion proof and will discolour or deteriorate if not cleaned. As a guide, maintain your product as you would your kitchen appliances (clean every 3 months).

Noise

• Signals sent through the power grid by the electricity supplier may cause intermittent noises in your product. These noises are not the result of a fault and filters to reduce this noise may be available at additional expense.
• Clicking, ticking and creaking noises from fans are usually caused by the mounting bracket not being correctly attached or when blades screws are loose. Only use the hardware provided to install ceiling fans. If the mounting bracket is attached using counter-sunk screws it will work loose and cause unwanted noise and movement in your fan. Wooden bladed fans may need their blade screws periodically tightened. Unless a product is defective noise will not be rectified under warranty.

Wobbling

• Wobbling is generally not caused by a defective fan but by air currents in the room. After a fan has been running for a long period it will cause air currents to form and, depending on the shape of the room and its furnishings, the air returning to the fan may be uneven.
• Improper mounting will also cause a fan to wobble. Every mounting bracket screw must be secured to solid materials in the ceiling. Metal C section rafters may need to be doubled to form a box section to prevent flexing. Foam sandwich ceiling panels will require reinforcing to stop flexing. Unless a product is defective wobbling will not be rectified under warranty.

Airflow
The amount of airflow produced by a fan is dependent on where it’s installed because room shape, mounting height and furnishings will affect the perceived air movement. A product is deemed to be functioning normally if it is running within 15% of the specified RPM when installed.
