QICFA50960 15 Blade Indoor Ceiling Fanyi

Product Information:

This product is a fan that can be mounted on a ceiling. It is
important to ensure that the outlet box used for mounting the fan
is suitable for fan support of 50 lbs (22.7 kg) or less. If the
existing outlet box is not marked as suitable for fan support, it
must be replaced with an approved one. It is recommended to hire a
qualified licensed electrician for the installation of this fan due
to its complexity.

The fan can be mounted in different ways depending on the
situation, including on ceiling joists or outlet boxes. In sloped
ceiling situations, a longer downrod may be required to maintain
proper blade clearance. However, it is important to note that this
fan should not be mounted on a slope ceiling.

Product Usage Instructions:

Hanging Your Fan:

1. Turn off the power before starting the installation
   process.

2. If the rectangular rubber isolators are not already affixed to
   the hanger bracket, place them between the hanger bracket and
   outlet box. Secure the hanger bracket to the outlet box using the
   provided long steel screws.

3. Remove the set pin and safety lock clip from the yoke on top of
   the motor assembly. Slide the downrod through the canopy and canopy
   cover. Slide the yoke cover onto the downrod. Feed the wires from
   the fan motor through the downrod assembly.

4. Attach the downrod assembly (downrod, yoke cover, canopy, and
   canopy cover) to the motor by sliding the downrod into the yoke on
   top of the motor assembly. Slide the set pin through the hole in
   the yoke and downrod, securing it with the safety lock clip.
   Tighten the set screws on the yoke. The yoke cover will lower down
   to conceal the yoke. Feed the wires through the downrod ball.

Attaching the Fan Blades:

1. Turn off the power before starting the installation
   process.

2. Slide the blade deco plate to position the blade hole on the
   center of the blade. Insert the blade deco bar into the hole in the
   blade and secure it with a blade deco plate screw (Screw No. 1). Do
   not tighten the screw at this point. Repeat this step for each
   blade.

3. Assemble each blade by aligning the holes on the blade deco
   bars and securing them with the provided blade deco bar screws
   (Screw No. 2). Do not tighten the screws at this point.

3. MOUNTING OPTIONS

1. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.
2. If there is an existing outlet box, ensure it is clearly marked “Suitable for Fan Support of 50 lbs (22.7 kg) or lesse”. If it is not so marked, it must be replaced with an approved one. WARNING: Most outlet boxs commonly used for support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support, and may need to be replaced. Due to the complexity of the installation of this fan, a qualified licensed electrician is strongly recommened.
3. Secure the outlet box (or make sure the existing box is secured) directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials.
4. Figures 1 and 2 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box in different situations. A longer downrod may be required in sloped ceiling situations to maintain proper blade clearance.

10. OPERATING YOUR TRANSMITTER

Your DC brushless motor is equipped with an automatically learned type remote control. There are no frequency switches on the receiver; the receiver unit will automatically scan the frequency from the wall control if any changes are made. The frequency settings on the transmitter should be changed only in case of interference or if a second or more ceiling fans with the same type of control system are installed in the same structure. (Fig. 19) (It is recommended that you not use the factory code settings. Change codes setting to any other combination of dip switch setting to avoid issues).
Remove the panel from the transmitter and then install one 23A/12V battery (included). To prevent damage to transmitter, remove the battery if not use for long periods of time (Fig. 19).
A. I, II, III, IV, V and VI buttons: These six buttons are used to set the fan speed as follows: I = minimum speed II = low speed III = medium low speed IV = medium speed V = medium high speed VI = high speed
B. button: This button turns the fan off.
C. Reverse button: This button is to control fan direction.
D. “SET” code setting button: Follow the below steps to use the set button.

Step 1. With the fan’s power off, arrange code switches to desired code setting.
Step 2. After installing the unit and restoring power to the fan, press and hold the “SET” button 1 – 5 seconds. You must press the “SET” button within 60 seconds of restoring power to the fan.
Step 3. The fan will start to run and begin the control setting process. The fan will run in both directions for a total of approximately 5 minutes.
Step 4. When the fan stops after approximately 5 minutes, the control and speed setting process is complete and the fan is ready for use.
NOTE: If you want to change the blades: 1. Turn off the power. 2. change the blades. 3. turn the power on. 4. replay the step 2,3,4.
The receiver provides the following protective function: 1. Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against obstruction during operation. The motor will be locked operation and disconnect power after 30 seconds of interruption. Please remove obstacles before re-set.
2. Over 80W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 80W, the receiver power will be stopped and operation will immediately discontinue. Turn the receiver power on after 5 seconds.

11. FAN OPERATION AND CARE

1. A ceiling fan is an environmentally smart choice to cool as well as to help warm your home or office. Adjust your HVAC thermostat during fan use to save additional energy and money on your air conditioning and heating utility bills. You should see a significant reduction in both your heating and cooling costs by regular use of your fan.
Do not hesitate to use your fan during summer and winter months. In summer, (Fig. 21) using the reverse switch, adjust the fan’s direction so cool air is blown down, producing a cooling breeze. In winter, (Fig. 22) reverse the fan so that an upward airflow will push warm air off the ceiling and circulate it downwards into the living area. In winter months, use the fan at a lower speed than summer.

3. Clean you fan periodically using only a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution for all hardware – never use solvents. The finish plating is lacquered to prevent tarnishing. Use a lint-free cloth with clean water to clean blades.
4. You will never need to oil or lubricate your fan. Its permanently sealed bearings will provide trouble free, silent operation for many years.
5. If repairs or servicing are ever required, to avoid possible electric shock, turn off the electricity at the main fuse or circuit panel before you begin.

WINTER

2. Periodically check tightness of all screws securing the blades to the blade arm attachment points. A clicking or a rattling noise is a sure indication of loosening screws. Since screws will invariably work loose over time, at least once a year, tighten all the screws attaching blades to blade arms. Do not bend blade arms when cleaning or servicing the fan.
