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:
-
Turn off the power before starting the installation
process. -
If the rectangular rubber isolators are not already affixed to

3. (Fig. 18) Carefully tuck the wire connections inside the junction box. Secure the wall control with the two screws provided. Attach the wall plate over the wall control and secure with the two screws provided.
2. If your outlet box has a ground wire (green or bare copper) connect the wall control’s ground wire to it; otherwise connect the wall control’s ground wire directly to one of the screws from the outlet box.
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.

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.
