Remote Control Operation

1. Symbol from the transmitter – press and release reflects the fan ON/OFF function.
2. The transmitter controls the fan speeds from the lowest speed to the highest speed. The remote control operates the fan speed as below: 1-lowest fan speed, 2-Med low fan speed, 3-Low fan speed, 4-Med fan speed, 5-Med high fan speed, 6-Highest fan speed.
3. Operation duration time (1-8 hours setting).
   
   Note: Install two AAA (1.5V ) batteries by removing battery cover on back of transmitter, installing battery, and replacing battery cover.

Setting Fan Air Flow

1. Note: Be sure the slide switch is pushed firmly to one side or the other. The fan will not operate with the slide switch in the middle.
2. To reverse the direction of the blades, slide the reverse switch (located in the cover of the transmitter) to the opposite side.
3. The slide switch controls the fan flow direction downward or upward.
4. Operation Turn on the power and check operation of fan. Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height,  number of fans and so on.
5.  The slide switch controls direction, forward or reverse. Warm weather – (Forward) Fan turns counterclockwise direction. A downward air flow creates a cooling effect as shown in illustration A. (S mark located above the battery) This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher temperature setting without affecting your comfort. Cool weather – (Reverse) Fan turns clockwise direction. An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in illustration B. (W mark located above the battery) This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

NOTE: Turn off and wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the forward/reverse slide switch.

Controlling more that one fan with remote control

1. The remote control has no memory function. When the fan is working after disconnecting the power supply, the original state cannot be restored.
2. The transmitter and receiver are matched at the factory. Please follow the point 4 for re-match when the match is failed.
3. With the matching process can be done by fan without the blades, the same transmitter can control another identical model ceiling fan.
4. When the transmitter and receiver are matched, the time key and the power on key on the transmitter panel must be pressed simultaneously within 5 seconds after the power button is connected.
5. The ceiling fan will make a buzzing sound twice. After it receives this, the fan has recognized the remote control and you can:
   • Control this fan with the remote control.
   • Re-match two ceiling fans with one remote control transmitter with the same process.

NOTE: To control two fans simultaneously, the installation distance between the two fans must not exceed 30 feet.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance

1. 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.
2.  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.
3. 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.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
5. Maintain the fan by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance.
6. Maintain your fan. It is recommended that the general condition of any fan be examined before it is used. Keep your fan in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service personnel.

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

1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.

2. Check wire connections as performed in step# 17 of installation.
   CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.

3. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.

4. If the fan still will not start, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to troubleshoot internal electrical connections yourself.

If fan sounds noisy|

1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade to the motor are tight.
3. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
4. Allow “break-in” period of 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.

1. Check that all blades are tightened securely to motor.
2. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to a fan rated electrical box or a ceiling joist.
3. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling joist.
4. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
5. Be sure ball to hanger bracket is locked in place. Remove canopy and adjust ball in hanger bracket.
