FEATURES
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 metal outlet box suitable for fan support (must support 35 lbs).
-
Before attaching fan to 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 (1) from the bracket as shown above.
-
Loosen (do not remove) the screws (2) from the bracket as shown above.
-
Install a mounting bracket to the outlet box in the ceiling using the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.
-
Remove screws from the motor bracket and mounting plate. Hang the fan from the mounting plate by inserting the “T”-shaped end of the bracket into the slot opening of the mounting plate. This will allow for hands-free wiring.
MOUNTING
- While fan is hanging from the mounting plate, connect the wires with wire connectors (included), using the following steps for wiring options.
WIRING OPTIONS
PULL CHAIN WIRING OPTION
- Follow the diagram above to make wiring connections for fan pull chain control.
WALL CONTROL WIRING OPTION
- Follow the diagram above to make wiring connections for wall control operation.
Note: after the wiring is complete, carefully push the wiring back into the outlet box.
-
Push the motor upward and attach the motor to the mounting plate by tightly securing with the screws and washers provided.
-
The decorative motor housing has two mating slots (1) and two mating holes (2). Position both slots on the motor housing directly under and in line with two screws in the mounting bracket (3). Lift the motor housing, allowing the two screws to slide into the mating slots. Rotate the motor housing clockwise until both screws from the mounting bracket drop into the slot recesses. Tighten screws securely.
-
Install two screws and star washers into the mating holes of the motor housing and tighten to secure the housing to the mounting bracket.
BLADE INSTALLATION
-
Attach blade brackets to blades using the blade bracket screws (1), metal washers (2), and fabric washers (3), if provided. NOTE: Some models do not utilize fabric washers (3).
-
Check the motor for plastic shipping stabilizer tabs (1), and remove them if they are present. Attach blade assembly to motor using the noise-dampening motor gaskets (2) and motor screws provided. Tighten screws securely. NOTE: Some models do not utilize motor gaskets, washers, or stabilizer tabs
LIGHT FIXTURE INSTALLATION
- Attach the switch housing cap using three small screws provided. Proceed to step 16 now.
Remove the three pre-installed screws from the ceiling fan’s light kit and save for later use. Find the two wires from the switch housing with the tag that says FOR LIGHT. Connect the black wire from the switch housing to the black wire from the light kit, and connect the white wire from the switch housing to the white wire from the light kit with wire nuts provided. Attach light kit to the switch housing using three small screws you previously removed, aligning the notch in the light kit with the reverse switch found inside the switch housing.
LIGHT FIXTURE INSTALLATION
- Remove locking rings from sockets.
- Install glass by holding a glass in place and tightening the locking rings into place, repeat this step for remaining lamps.
- Install candelabra base, and bulbs (included).
- 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 on 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 on a lower setting without affecting your comfort. (Please however refer to point 14 in Safety Tips when operating in this position.)
NOTE: Turn off and wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the forward/reverse slide switch.
Maintenance
-
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. -
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. -
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.
-
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 troubleshooting chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, please consult with your qualified electrician and do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
TROUBLE SUGGESTED REMEDY
If fan does not start
-
Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
-
Check wire connections as performed in step #6 or #7 of installation.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off. -
Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position.
Fan will not operate when 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.
If 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 “break-in” 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.
If 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 wobbles is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side-by-side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
If light does not work
- Check for faulty light bulbs.
- Check to see that the wire connections in the switch housing are connected.
- If light kit will still not operate, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
