Unpack and inspect fan carefully to be certain all contents are included. Turn off power at fuse box to avoid possible electrical shock.
Remove the screws from the two mating holes (1) on the canopy. Loosen (do not remove) the screws in the mating slots (2) on the canopy. Rotate the mounting bracket and remove from the canopy.
Drill two mounting holes in the ceiling joist and securely screw the mounting bracket to the ceiling using the washers and wood screws provided. The mounting plate should be able to hold a weight of at least 15.9kgs (35 lbs). NOTE – Proper care must be taken when mounting to concrete ceilings. For safe mounting, these ceilings may require stronger screws and plastic plugs or anchors than supplied with the product.
FLUSH MOUNT OPTION
Guide motor wires through the base of the canopy as shown and attach canopy
directly to top of motor housing with flush mount screws and lock washers
provided. Tighten screws securely.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING YOUR FAN USING THE FLUSH MOUNT METHOD,
PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP #12.
DOWNROD MOUNT OPTION
Remove clamp pin (2) and cross pin (1) from downrod. Loosen setscrew in
downrod ball (3) until ball moves easily up and down the downrod. Do not
remove ground wire (4) from downrod. Slide downrod ball down, exposing cross
pin (5). Do not remove ball completely. Remove cross pin and save for later
use.
Insert the downrod through the canopy and coupling cover. Carefully thread lead wires and plug though the downrod and ball assembly.
Re-install cross pin into downrod and slide downrod ball up until cross pin fits firmly into ball. Tighten set screw in ball.
Loosen set screws in downrod coupling (1). Insert downrod into downrod coupling. Make sure to align hole in downrod with the hole in coupling. Install yoke cross pin (2) through yoke and downrod. Insert clamp pin (3) into cross pin until it snaps into place. Tighten set screws (4) in coupling. Slide coupling cover (5) over coupling.
Carefully lift fan assembly onto mounting bracket. Rotate fan until notch on downrod ball (1) engages the ridge (2) on the mounting bracket. This will allow for hands free wiring.
With bracket holding fan assembly, attach the male/female plug connection (1) from the fan to the terminal block. Attach the ground wire (2) from the downrod to the mounting bracket.
PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP #13.
For flush mount option, raise fan assembly and place onto hook from mounting bracket into a closed hole on the canopy. This will allow for hands free wiring. With bracket holding fan assembly, attach the male/female plug connection (1) from the fan to the terminal block. Note: The single ground wire plug from the mounting bracket will not be connected if using the flush mount method.
For flush mount fans, carefully lift fan from the mounting bracket, making sure not to break any wire connections. For downrod fans, slide the canopy up to the mounting bracket. The canopy has two mating slots (1) and two mating holes (2). Position both slots on canopy directly under and in line with two screws in the mounting bracket (3). Lift the canopy, allowing the two screws to slide into the mating slots. Rotate the canopy until both screws from the mounting bracket drop into the slot recesses. Tighten screws securely.
Install two screws into the mating holes of the canopy and tighten to secure the canopy to the mounting bracket.
Attach blade brackets to blades using the blade bracket screws (1) and fabric washers (2) and tighten the screws securely.
If plastic shipping stabilizer tabs are attached to motor, remove and discard. Attach blade assembly to motor using the noise-dampening motor gaskets and motor screws provided. Tighten screws securely. NOTE: Some models do not utilize motor gaskets, washers, or stabilizer tabs.
Find the molex connector in the switch housing and the molex connector in the light kit. Slide both together. Attach the light kit switch housing cap to fan switch housing. Secure tightly with small side screws provided.
Remove 3 small screws for each spotlight cover, and remove cover to install bulbs.
Install light bulbs. Use GU10 base, GU10 type bulbs. 50 watts max (not included). Warning: 1. Do not allow spot light heads to face each other. 2. All spot lights need to keep a distance of at least 10 cm between spot heads.
Replace spotlight cover using 3 small screws removed in step 20. Adjust the bulb position to center within the spotlight cover. Tighten screws and repeat for other spotlights.
Assemble decorative fob and extension chains from hardware bag to fan and light kit (optional) pull chains by inserting end of chain into chain coupling. Confirm chains are held by lightly pulling both chains in coupling.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
Operation
Turn on the power and check operation of fan.
The pull chain controls the fan speeds as follows:
1 pull – high; 2 pulls – medium; 3 pulls – low; 4 pulls – off. Speed settings
for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height,
number of fans and so on. The slide switch controls direction, forward or
reverse.
Warm weather/down position – (Forward) Fan turns counterclockwise direction. A
downward air flow creates a cooling effect as shown .
This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher temperature setting
without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather/up position – (Reverse) Fan turns clockwise direction. An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown .
This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting
your comfort.
NOTE: Turn off and wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of
the forward/reverse slide switch.
Maintenance
- Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.
- Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause electrical shock.
- Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer coating to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
- There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
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 Trouble Shooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, please consult with your authorized electrician and do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
TROUBLE SUGGESTED REMEDY
-
If fan does not start:
-
Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
-
Check terminal block connections as performed in step #4 of installation.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off. -
Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
-
If the fan still will not start, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to troubleshoot internal electrical connections yourself.
-
If fan sounds noisy:
-
Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
-
Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
-
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:
All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density which could cause the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight-matched. The following procedures should eliminate most of the wobble. Check for wobble after each step. -
Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
-
Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
-
Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling joist.
-
If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
-
If light does not work:
-
Check to see that molex connector in the switch housing is connected
-
Check for faulty light bulbs.
-
If light kit will still not operate, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
