  • Setp 4: Within 60 seconds of turning the Fan’s AC power ON. Press the transmitter’s “ ” button and hold the “ ” button for 5 seconds.

  • Setp 5: Once the receiver has detected the set frequency, the down light of your fan will blink twice and the fan will begin to rotate for a short period and then shut off.

  • Setp 6: The receiver has now learned the frequency which has been selected on the transmitter. After completing the steps above, you should be able to operate the ceiling fan and light. If the fan is not responding to the transmitter, please turn the power off to the receiver, and repeat the process.

Connect your smart fan to BOND
After testing all operations of the ceiling fan and remote control, you are now ready to connect your smart fan to the BOND HOME APP. Download the BOND HOME APP using the Google Play or Apple Play Store and follow the prompts given.

Care and cleaning

  • Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Ensure they are secure.
  • Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
  • Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discolouration or tarnishing.
    • (Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
    • (Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
  • Do not use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
  • Do not apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
The fan will not start. Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.

Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
The fan sounds noisy.| Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade arm to the motor hub are tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
The fan wobbles.| Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure from a point on the center of each blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. Measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for 10 minutes.
Use the enclosed blade balancing kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
