IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Read all instructions carefully, even if you feel you are quite familiar with this type of appliance. When using electrical appliances, in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, these basic safety precautions should always be followed:

  1. This appliance MUST be installed by a Qualified Electrical Contractor in accordance with the local regulations, and all local, state, and national electrical codes. Any alterations or additions to building wiring must be completed by a licensed electrical contractor or person authorized by legislation to work on the fixed wiring of any electrical installation.
  2. The ceiling fan must be connected to a 220-240V AC 50Hz power supply.
  3. All electrical work must only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breaker, to ensure all pole isolation of the electrical supply.
  4. The fan must be earthed.
  5. The fan must be installed so that the blades are more than 2.1 metres above the floor.
  6. The structure that the ceiling fan is connected to must be capable of supporting a weight of at least 45kg. The fixing must be able to support the moving weight of the fan and must not twist or work loose.
  7. Make sure that the installation site will not allow the rotating fan blades to come into contact with any object and that there is a minimum clearance of 150mm (6”) from the blade tip to the wall or ceiling. Please note that the bigger this clearance is the better the airflow from your fan will be.
  8. DO NOT use outdoors unless covered. Refer to Warranty terms for Alfresco use.
  9. DO NOT connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may damage the motor. Use ONLY the provided wall controller (If applicable).
  10. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
  11. Young children should be supervised to ensure they DO NOT play with the appliance.
  12. It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances be operated in the same room at the same time.
  13. Suggest turning the fan speed to a lower rate (eg. #1 or #2) before reversing the fan direction. This will prevent any damage to the motor of the fan or controller.
  14. Do not insert anything into the fan blades whilst they are spinning. This will damage the blades and upset the balance of the fan causing the unit to wobble.
  15. After the fan is completely installed make sure that all base and fan blade fixations are secured and tightened to prevent any problems.
  16. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may loosen. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year to make sure they remain secured. If any are loose, tighten.
  17. DO NOT use a solid-state dimmer-type fan controller. Use ONLY the provided switch controller for fan speed control (If applicable).
  18. An all-pole disconnection incorporated in the fixed wiring is to be provided, such as a n all-pole switch or a supply cord fitted with a plug.
  19. If the remote control is installed, remove the wall controller.
  20. Beware of height installation closure.
  21. A blade balancing kit is included. Ensure blades are balanced immediately after installation to reduce wobble and noise

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The important safeguards and instructions given in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution, and care are factors that cannot be built into any product. The persons caring for and using the unit must supply these factors.

CAUTION: Before installing the fan, make sure you have turned OFF the electricity supply.
MOUNTING THE HANGING BRACKET

  • Secure the hanging bracket to the ceiling joist or suitable structure that is capable of carrying a load of at least 45kg, with the two long fixing screws provided. Ensure that at least 30mm of the screw is threaded into the support.
    NB: The fixing screws included are designed for use when the ceiling fan is secured onto timber joists. For all other surfaces, additional and suitable fixing screws for that surface will need to be purchased.

NOTE: Ensure building cable will enter the canopy close to the terminal block. DO NOT enter the building cable direct on top of the hanging ball area.

  • Make sure that the position of the installation will not allow the blades to come into contact with any object. The fan must be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least 2.1 meters above the floor.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

  • The building cable should enter the canopy about 10-15mm from the terminal block.
  • Connect the mains supply L-Active, N–Neutral & Earth cable to the terminal at mounting bracket as per marking on it. Ensure connections are firm. For your convenience, and to assist in easy installation & cleaning, your ceiling fan is connected with Brilliant’s easy connect system. Simply connect the male and female couplings, and then ensure the remote control receiver and all excess wiring is retained inside the ceiling canopy. Ensure installed a wall isolation switch (NOT INCLUDED).

ATTACH LIGHT KIT (Apply for Fan come with the light kit)

  • Before attaching the light kit housing loosen and remove the light kit housing fixed screws on the light kit mounting plate.
  • To attach the light kit housing place the light kit housing on the mounting plate and align the light kit housing with the mounting holes and replace the screws previously removed to secure the light kit housing. (Fig 3) (Note: If needed please adjust the stopping nut to prevent the light kit housing contact with the blades)
  • Attach the light kit by connecting the plugs. (Fig 4) The light kit come with 3 magnet stands which are used to attach the light kit to the housing.
  • Attached is the diffuser by twisted until it locks and is secure. (Fig 5)

ATTACH MOTOR HOUSING BOTTOM COVER

  • Attached is the motor housing bottom cover by twisting until it locks and secures. (Fig 6)
  • Attaching the motor housing bottom cover ensures it will not touch the fan blades. If it touched the fan blade, then need to try to adjust the stopping nut by lower it down. (Fig 6a) Try as many time as possible until the gap between the cover and the blades are around 3 to 4 mm.

MAINTENANCE

CARE & CLEANING

  • Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required.
  • Use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Please turn off the electricity when you do so.
  • Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
  • The motor has a permanently lubricated ball bearing, and as such is maintenance-free.

NOISE

  • The manufacturer warranty covers actual faults that may develop, but NOT minor complaints, e.g. hearing slight noise from motor in operation – ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS ARE AUDIBLE TO SOME EXTENT, more so, when the fan is operating at low speeds.

WOBBLE

  • Ceiling fans are mounted very securely on steel brackets with rubber cushioning or with ball joints to allow free movement.
  • Ceiling fans are designed to move during operation because they are not generally rigidly mounted – if they were, they could generate excessive ceiling vibration and stress on their mountings.
  • Movement of a couple of centimeters is quite OK and does not suggest the fan will fall down.
  • Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model – some may move more or less than others.

NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR:

  • Threaded components working slightly loose or blade carriers even slightly bent due to vigorous cleaning or bumping can cause extra wobble and noise. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY but a little care and maintenance can reduce or prevent this problem.

RIPPLE CONTROL FILTER:

  • In parts of Australia (NSW and QLD), the power company superimposes a signal voltage onto the main household voltage. This signal voltage is used to remotely control consumers’ electric hot water heaters and other devices throughout the surrounding area.
  • Unfortunately, this signal can appear at the ceiling fan as a loud intermittent “hum”. If this noise is apparent please contact your local Electricity service provider on how they can assist to provide rectification, usually in the form of a mains supply ripple filter to filter out this signal.
