THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING

Thank you for purchasing the latest in energy-saving ceiling fans. This fan runs on DC (direct current) power which gives it the benefit of being super energy efficient whilst still maintaining high volume air movement and silent operation.
Energy-saving – The DC motor is the latest technology in fan design. Its highly efficient motor saves up to 65% more energy than ceiling fans with traditional AC motors.
Silent operation – This DC fan motor is programmed with a stabilized current which efficiently reduces motor noise.
Low operating temperature – The DC power is managed effectively which brings down the motor operating temperature to less than 50℃. This results in a much cooler motor than a standard AC fan and increases the longevity of the motor.
6 speed remote control – Regular AC ceiling fans usually come with only 3 speeds, this DC fan comes complete with a 6 speed remote, which gives a greater choice of comfort levels.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Loss of control – Remote cannot communicate with the receiver

Repairing Steps:

• Switch OFF the main power to the ceiling fan for 30 seconds.
• Switch ON the main power of the ceiling fan. Follow the same process as described in the ‘Paring remote & receiver’ section to repair the pairing.
• Turn on and select the different speeds of the ceiling fan to check the operation of the fan.

AFTER INSTALLATION

WOBBLE:
NOTE: ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are mounted on a rubber grommet.
If the fan was mounted rigidly to the ceiling it would cause excessive vibration. Movement of a few centimeters is quite acceptable and DOES NOT suggest any problem.

TO REDUCE THE FAN WOBBLE:
Please check that all screws which fix the mounting bracket.
NOTE: This fan has been precision balanced at the factory and will not need to be balanced again.

NOISE:
When it is quiet (especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises. Slight power fluctuations and frequency signals superimposed in the electricity for off-peak hot water control may cause a change in fan motor noise. This is normal. Please allow a 24-hour “settling-in” period, most noises associated with a new
fan disappear during this time.
Please note that this is not a product fault and as such is not covered under warranty – All electric motors are audible to some extent.

CARE & CLEANING

NOTE: Always turn OFF the power at the mains switch before performing any maintenance or attempting to clean your fan.

• Every 6 months periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the paint finish. Please turn off electrical power when you do so.
• Do not soak or immerse your ceiling fan in the water or other liquids. It could damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
• Ensure that the fan does not come in contact with any organic solvents or cleaners.
• To clean the fan blade, wipe with only a damp clean cloth with NO organic solvents or cleaners.
• The motor has a permanently lubricated ball bearing so there is no need for oil.
