FEATURES

• DOWNROD INSTALLATION For normal ceilings
• VAULTED CEILING INSTALLATION May require a longer downrod (sold separately)

Note: For pitched ceiling installation, please refer to westinghouselighting.com. for specially designed canopy kit options.

COMBO-BLADE
Combo-Blades feature two high-quality finishes on one blade. Select the one that best complements your decor, or change the style with just a flip of the blade.
NOTE: Combo-Blade finishes vary, depending upon the model.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

• Unpack and inspect the fan carefully to be certain all contents are included. Turn off the power at the fuse box to avoid possible electrical shock.
• Use a metal outlet box suitable for fan support (must support 35 lbs). Before attaching the fan to the outlet box, ensure the outlet box is securely fastened by at least two points to a structural ceiling member (a loose box will cause the fan to wobble).

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 it from the canopy.

MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION

• Install a mounting bracket to an outlet box in the ceiling using the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.

MOUNTING OPTIONS

Choose a MOUNTING OPTION

• NORMAL DOWNROD OPTION: If installing a downrod supplied with a fan, proceed to page 8, step 6.
• EXTENDED DOWNROD OPTION: If installing with a longer downrod than supplied with a fan, proceed to page 9, step 8.

NORMAL DOWNROD OPTION

• Loosen (but do not remove) the set screws from the down rod coupling. Place downrod assembly (1) into the canopy (2) and coupling cover (3). Feed motor wires through the downrod assembly (1).
• Insert downrod into downrod coupling. Make sure to align the hole in the downrod with the hole in the downrod coupling. Install cross pin (1) through coupling and downrod. Insert keeper pin (2) into the cross pin until it snaps into place. Tighten set screws (3) in coupling. Slide coupling cover (4) over the downrod coupling. PROCEED TO PAGE 13, STEP 13.

EXTENDED DOWNROD OPTION

• Loosen downrod ball (1) from downrod (2) by removing set screw (3).
• Slide downrod ball (1) off of the downrod and remove pin (2).
• Re-install the pin into the extended downrod, and slide the downrod ball up to the top of the downrod. Re-install the set screw to secure the ball to the downrod. Note: Some extended downloads have a predrilled set-screw hole. If a pre-drilled hole is present in the extended downrod, tighten the set screw into the pre-drilled hole in the extended downrod. If no pre-drilled hole exists in the extended downrod, tighten the set screw against the downrod to secure the downrod ball. PROCEED TO PAGE 8, STEP 6.

BLADE INSTALLATION

• Attach blade brackets to blades using the blade bracket screws (1), fabric washers (2) and nuts (3).

BLADE INSTALLATION

• Attach blade assembly to the motor using the noise-dampening motor gaskets and motor screws provided. Tighten screws securely.

MOUNTING

• Carefully lift fan assembly onto mounting bracket. Rotate fan until notch on downrod ball (1) engages the ridge on the mounting bracket (2). This will allow for hands free wiring.
• 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 the 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.

LIGHT FIXTURE INSTALLATION

• Locate the indentations on the neck of the glass (2) and align them with the protrusions from the light kit (1). Lift the glass allowing the protrusions to engage the indentations on the glass, and twist the glass clockwise to lock into place.
• 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 AND MAINTENANCE

Operation

• Turn on the power and check the operation of the 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 in illustration A.
• This allows you to set your air conditioner in 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 in a lower setting without affecting your comfort. (Please however refer to point 10 in Safety Tips when operating in this position.)
  • NOTE: Turn off and wait for the fan to stop before changing the setting of the forward/reverse slide switch.

Maintenance

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 qualified electrician and do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

TROUBLE /SUGGESTED REMEDY

1. If the fan does not start:
   • Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
   • Check wire connections as performed in steps #15 or #16 of the installation.
   • CAUTION: Make sure the main power is turned off.
   • Make sure the forward/reverse switch is firmly in the up or down position. The fan will not operate when the 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.
2. 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” 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.
3. If the 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 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.
4. If the light does not work:
   • Check to see that the wire connections in the switch housing are connected.
   • Check for faulty light bulbs.
   • If the light kit will still not operate, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
