FEATURES
- DOWNROD INSTALLATION – For normal ceilings
- VAULTED CEILING INSTALLATION – May require a longer downrod (sold separately)
PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Unpack and inspect fan carefully to be certain all contents are included. Turn
off power at fuse box to avoid possible electrical shock
MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION
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
Drill one hole on each side of the supply mains for the expansion anchors.
Measure this distance using the oval slots in the mounting bracket (1) as a
guide.
Note: Proper care must be taken when mounting to concrete ceilings and
add the expansion anchors installation step for mounting bracket.
MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION
Drive the expansion anchors (1) into the holes. (Note: do not detach hex nut
(2), spring washer (3) and metal washer (4) for this step
Tighten hex nut until feel the metal expansion anchor is not working
loose
Remove the hex nut, spring washer, metal washer, keep them for next step
usage
Pull the supply mains (1) through the center of the ceiling, and align the two
oval holes in the mounting bracket with the expansion anchors (1), re-install
metal washer, spring washer and hex nut, tighten the hex nut until the
mounting bracket is fix stably
Repeat for another one of the expansion anchors.
DOWNROD MOUNT
Remove the cross pin from the down rod. Loosen (but do not remove) the set
screws from the down rod coupling. Place down rod (1) assembly into canopy (2)
and coupling cover (3). Feed motor wires though the down rod (1) for assemble.
Insert the four wires from the fan through the rubber down rod cover (4). This
will prevent water from running through the down rod. Secure the rubber down
rod cover to the top of the down rod ball.
Insert downrod into downrod coupling. Make sure to align hole in downrod with
the hole in downrod coupling. Install cross pin (1) through coupling and
downrod. Insert keeper pin (2) into cross pin until it snaps into place.
Tighten screws (3) in coupling. Slide coupling cover (4) over the downrod
coupling
MOUNTING
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.
MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION
With bracket holding fan assembly, make electrical connections using the following step for wiring instructions
WIRING OPTIONS
SECURE TO CEILING
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.
BLADES INSTALLATION
Attach blade brackets to blades using the blade bracket screws (1), metal
washers (2) and rubber washers (3), if provided. Caution: Make sure to put
them in order (as shown in above illustration). Do not miss any parts, or
over-tighten them.
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.
PULL CHAINS INSTALLATION
Assemble decorative fob and extension chains from hardware bag to fan 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 the operation of fan. The pull chain controls the fan speeds as follows:
- pull – high;
- pulls – medium;
- pulls – low;
- 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 in illustration
- A. 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 in illustration B.
- 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 the fan does not start:
-
Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
-
Check terminal block connections as performed in step #14 of installation.
CAUTION : Make sure the main power is turned off. -
Make sure the 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 the fan sounds noisy:
-
Check to make sure all screws in the 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 a “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period
-
If the fan wobbles:
All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. 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 the motor.
-
Make sure that the canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to a 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.
Meaning of crossed-out wheeled dustbin:
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use
separate collection facilities. Contact you local government for information
regarding the collection systems available. If electrical appliances are
disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated
to take back your old appliance for disposal at least free of charge.
