BEFORE INSTALLATION

Unpack your ceiling fan carefully then remove all parts and components and lay on a cloth or soft surface to avoid damage. Do not lay the motor housing on its side, the housing may get damaged. Before commencing installation, check that all parts are included.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: All electrical tasks should only be undertaken after disconnection of electricity by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breaker to avoid risk of electric shocks.
INSTALLATION STEPS:

1. Installation of the mounting bracket

2. Installation of the down rod and hanger ball

3. Hanging fan to bracket

4. Remote control and wiring instruction

5. Blade assembly

6. Installing LED light and glass shade

7. INSTALLATION OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET The hanger bracket must be screwed on to a firm flat surface. The structure to which it is installed must be able to withstand ten times the static weight of the fan. In case of installing the ceiling fan to a wooden joist, 2 self-tapping screws  provided should be enough to support the ceiling fan. The washers provided must be placed in the following order: screw head > round washer > spring washer > mounting bracket > ceiling.
   Screw the mounting bracket to the ceiling and make sure all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling. Loosen the two canopy screws from the mounting bracket.
   NOTE: self-tapping screws are only suitable for wooden ceilings. In case of installing the ceiling fan to concrete ceilings or joists, use a drill for making the holes and stoppers or expansion screws (not included).

8. BLADE ASSEMBLY Insert the blades through the motor housing’s side slots and align them with the 3 holes.
   Secure the blades with 3 blade screws and ensure that the 3 blade screws are tightened properly. Do not over tighten the screws as this can damage the blades. Repeat this process for all blades.
   NOTE: if installing more than 1 fan, be careful not to mix blades and screws as each model is designed with specific materials and parts.

9. INSTALLATION OF THE DOWN ROD AND HANGER BALL Unscrew the screw on the down rod’s hanger ball, then loosen the hanger ball. Remove the stop pin from inside the down rod and remove the hanger ball from the rod. Remove the clevis pin and hairpin clip from the down rod. If  you prefer using the longer down rod, install the hanger ball on it and make sure to move the earth wire from one to the other. Pass the electrical supply leads from the top of the motor all the way through the down rod until they  come out the other end. Insert the down rod into the motor housing’s hole and turn it in order to align the holes on both sides with the holes on the down rod.
   Pass the clevis pin through the holes so that it passes through the down rod too, be careful not to damage any of the wires. Pass the hairpin clip through the clevis pin so that it is securely fixed.
   Tighten all the screws set up to the moment. This will ensure minimum rod and fan tumbling. If screws are not properly tightened, the motor might oscillate. This could be dangerous.
   Once the above steps are all finished, install the hanger ball onto the down rod, insert the stop pin in the down rod and lift up the hanger ball. Then, tighten all the screws firmly so that all the elements are completely and securely  fixed
   Install the canopy, canopy cover, and cover to Coupler the fan

10. HANGING THE FAN TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND ATTACHING THE BLADES Lift the fan up to the mounting bracket, insert the hanger ball in the mounting bracket through the opening and carefully let it rest.
    Rotate  the ball and make sure that the tab  located in the mounting bracket is aligned with the hanging ball’s slot.
    When aligned, the fan will automatically sit on its correct position. This will prevent rotation of the  rod and fan when the unit is operating.

11. REMOTE CONTROL AND WIRING INSTRUCTION Place the receiver through the hanging bracket and connect the wires following the colour codes. Connect the push connectors from the fan to the remote control as stated below:
    – Insert the 3P connector of hanger bracket into the AC POWER INPUT socket of receiver
    – Insert the 2P light connector of fan motor assembly into the 2P LIGHT socket of receiver
    – Insert the 3P motor connector of fan motor assembly into the 3P MOTOR socket of receiver

12. INSTALLING THE LED LIGHT AND GLASS SHADE Remove the three screws and the LED from lamp. Align the lamp holder’s screw holes with those on the motor and attach both parts by means of the screws provided. Connect the LED light’s wires to the fan motor’s wires.
    Lamp fixture removed screws tighten LED. Carefully install the glass shade into the main body and turn it clockwise to lock it.
    WARNING: Do not over tighten when installing the glass shade. Lift the canopy up to cover the Mounting bracket.

OPERATION

• The direction switch on the fan body controls air flow:
• Winter function: press the switch UP for the blades to move warm air near the ceiling around.

TROUBLESHOOTING

THE FAN DOES NOT START UP

1. Check all the fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Turn off the electrical power and check all wire connections.

THE FAN EMITS NOISES

1. Always allow a few days “break in” time for any new fan at medium or high speed. Try to diagnose the exact location of the noise by listening carefully from several sides (blades, motor, light kit, etc.) The fan noise can come from a light kit.
2. Make sure all screws in the fan assembly and light kit are tight and properly threaded. If not, back out and retighten. Tighten these screws at least once a year because they may loosen slowly over time and cause a clicking noise.
3. Make sure the light kit is securely fastened to the fan, and all glass screws are finger tightened only. Do not tighten with pliers or a screw driver.
4. Make sure the mounting bracket is installed snugly to the junction box.
5. Make sure wire nuts in the switch housing or the canopy are not rattling against each other or against the housing’s wall. Wrap with electrical tape if necessary.
6. Make sure the canopy is not touching the ceiling.
7. Assure that the screws fastening the blade holders to the motor are tight and the lock washers provided for that purpose have been used.

THE FAN DOES NOT PRODUCE MUCH AIR

1. The fan may be running in reverse, so air is directed upward.
2. The room may contain items that obstruct the airflow.
3. The fan may be too small for the size of the room.

FAN WOBBLING
NOTE: A small amount of wobble is considered acceptable and should not be considered a defect.

1. Make sure the mounting bracket is fixed tightly to the ceiling with no movement at all. Tighten screws if necessary.
2. Make sure all screws holding the blades to the blade support and blade support to motor are tight. Make sure the light kit and the glass screws are tight.
