Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely heavily on the proper installation and use of the ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure efficient product performance.

Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location
Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle of the room and at least 8 feet above the floor and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 11 – 12 feet above the floor for optimal airflow.

Turn Off When Not in the Room
If the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.

Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round

• Summer Season: Use the ceiling fan in the clockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you “feel” cooler. Select a fan speed that provides a comfortable breeze, Lower speeds consume less energy.
• Winter Season: Reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the counterclockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan -additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!

Electrical and Structural Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of AC110~130V/60Hz, 15 Amp Circuit. Electrical code requires use of a fan-rated outlet box to support the extra weight and motion associated with a ceiling fan. A fan-rated box will be labeled as such and typically supports up to a 70lbs ceiling fan. Fan-Rated Outlet Boxes vary in ratings and design. Ensure the ratings of your ceiling fan outlet box meet the requirements for the ceiling fan being installed.

Install The Mounting Bracket

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that the hanging location allows the blade a clearance of 7 feet(2.13 meters) from the floor and 18 inches (45.72 centimeters) from any wall or obstruction.
If there isn’t an existing CUL listed mounting box, then read the following instructions:

1. For the concrete ceiling: Mark the location for the ceiling fan first, then drill four holes in the ceiling to aid in securing ceiling bracket with four expansion screws provided, and secure the mounting bracket to the building structure with four expansion screws provided, tighten the screws. (If you think that four holes will affect the appearance, you can also only make two holes and fix them with two expansion screws.) (Fig.1)
2. For the Wood Ceiling: Mark the location for the ceiling fan first, secure the mounting bracket to the building structure with four wood screws provided. (Fig.2)

WARNING

• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 15.88 kg (35 Lbs) or Less. Use screws supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of Light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
• Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. AU wiring must be in accordance with National and Local codes and the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock.

If your fan is to replace an existing light fixture, turn power off at the main fuse box and remove the existing light fixture.

WARNING
Do not operate this fan with a variable(Rh-eostat) wall controller or dimmer switch.Doing so could result in damage to the ceiling fan’s remote control unit.

How to Install Your Ceiling Fan

NOTES: To avoid possible electric shock, disconnect the power supply before installing the fan.
Hanger after the installation must be able to withstand the weight of 45 kgs or more

1. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws in figure 1 in a counterclockwise direction.
   Rotate the ceiling plate counterclockwise to remove the ceiling plate. (Figure

2. Install light bulbs into sockets by threading in a clockwise direction. (Bulbs not included)
   Notice: The power of the bulb cannot exceed 60W. Recommended bulbs and wattage: Incandescent light bulb-Max 60 watt LED light bulb-Max 10 watt (Choosing right bulb size before installation.)

3. Fix the hanging plate on the ceiling with screws. (Figure 2) Install The Mounting Bracket(Page 5)
   Note: The installation in the picture is based on a wood ceiling as an example

4. Use the auxiliary mounting tool S-hook to hand the ceiling fan light under the ceiling.(Figure 3)

5. Wiring the ceiling fan light. Connect the “Neutral wire”(white wire) from the ceiling to the white wire at the input of the receiver unit. Connect the “Live wire”(black wire) from the ceiling to the black wire on the input of the receiver unit. Connect the “Ground wire”(green or yellow wire or bare)5.from the ceiling to the wire from ceiling plate.(Figure 4)
   Note: For safety when connecting the wires, we must first use the Connection Cap to cover the two wires, and then use Electrical Tape to hide the connection cap and wires to prevent leakage.

6. Fixed the ceiling fan and tighten all 4 screws.(Figure 5)

7. Installing wall plate. Attach wall plate using the two provided screws. (Figure 6)

How to operate your ceiling fan

1. IMPORTANT: Using a full range dimmer switch(not included) to control fan speed will damage the fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use a full range dimmer switch to control the fan speed. (Figure 1)
   Only control light on/off via wall fan switch.

2. Restore electrical power to the outlet Box by turning the electricity on at the main fuse box. (Figure 2)
   WARNING

   • Check to see that all connections aretight, including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire connectors, except for the ground wire.
   • Do not operate this fan with a variable (Rheostat) wall controller or dimmer switch. Doing socould resultin damage to the ceiling fan’sremote control unit.

3. To make fan operational, install 2* AAA battery (Not included) in hand-held remote transmitter.(If not used for long periods of time, remove battery to prevent damage to transmitter).Store the remote away from excessive heat or humidly.
