IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read instructions carefully before assembling or installing your fan. It is important that you observe all safety information to help prevent personal injury and/or property damage. 1. To ensure the success of the installation be sure to read the instructions and study the diagrams thoroughly. 2. For your safety, all electrical connection and disconnection must be performed by a Licensed Electrician, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. 3. All electrical work should only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by turning off the electrical supply. 4. Make sure that your installation location will not allow the rotating fan blades to come into contact with any object and that there is a minimum clearance of 30cm from the blade tip to the wall or nearest object. Please note that the bigger this clearance is the better the airflow from your fan will be. Ensure the blades are mounted at a minimum height of 2.1 meters from the floor when the fan is installed. 5. The fan must be earthed. 6. Do not connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may give an unsatisfactory performance (motor hum) and cause damage to the motor. Only use the supplied fan controller. 7. It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances be operated in the same room at the same time. 8. The fan must be turned off and stopped completely before reversing the fan direction. This will prevent any damage to the motor of the unit or controller. 9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating, as this may cause personal injury, damage the blades, and upset the balance of the unit causing it to wobble. 10. After the fan is completely installed make sure that all connections are secured and tightened to prevent any noise problems from loose parts. 11. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may loosen. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year to make sure they are all secured. If they are loose, tighten with a screw driver. 12. This ceiling fan is suitable for use with solid-state speed controls. WARNING – To Reduce The Risk Of Personal Injury, Do Not Bend The Blade Brackets When Installing The Brackets, Balancing The Blades, Or Cleaning The Fan. Do Not Insert Foreign Objects In Between Rotating Fan Blades.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before installation. (Figure 1) NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be grounded for safe operation.
WARNING
The fan must be hung with at least 7 feet above the floor, and 11-1/8in spacing from the tip of the blade to the nearest objects or walls. (Figure 2)
Electrical and Structural Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 HZ, 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 70lb ceiling fan. Fan-Rated Outlet Boxes vary in ratings and design. Ensure the ratings of your ceiling fan outlet box meet their requirements for the ceiling fan being installed. Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 depicts different structural configurations that may be used for mounting the outlet box.
Low profile box (Figure 3) A 1/2-in.-deep pancake box is meant to be screwed to a joist or block. It’s used if only one cable is coming into the box. It is also available in a saddle-mount configuration
7

Deep box (Figure 4) A 2-1/4in.deep box can be attached to blocking between joists and is roomy enough to handle more than one cable.
Deep box with brace (Figure 6) Paired with a deep box, this hanger is meant to Span between two joists and takes the place of wooden blocking.
WARNING
The outlet box must be securely anchored and capable of withstanding a load of at least 35 lbs. Mounting bracket must seat firmly against outlet box. If the outlet box is recessed, remove wallboard until bracket contacts box. If bracket and/or outlet box are not securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall. The fan be mounted to an outlet box and that the mounting screws provided with the outlet box shall be used.
WARNING
To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Electric Shock, Or Personal Injury, Mount To Outlet Box Marked” Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs.) or less” And Use Mounting Screws Provided With The Outlet Box.
WARNING
To Reduce The Risk Of Electric Shock, This Fan Must Be Installed With An Isolating Wall Control Switch.

Installing Down rod. Lift fan assembly onto mounting bracket. Fig.8 Ensure the notch of ball joint is positioned on the stopper of mounting bracket to prevent Fan from rotating when in operation. Fig. 9
WARNING
Failure to seat tab in groove could cause damage to electrical wires and possible shock or fire hazard. To avoid possible shock, do not pinch wires between the down rod/hanger ball assembly and the hanger bracket.
Secure the safety cable to ceiling joist or structure member support cable. NOTE: Ceiling support cable cannot be secured to outlet box only, it must be directly secured to ceiling joist or structural member using the 3/16″x 35mm wooden screw and washer.
Using the 3/16″x 35mm wooden screw and flat washer, attach safety cable to ceiling joist or wood structural member. The wooden screw will pass through the flat washer, safety cable loop, and into the building structures. You will first drill a 3.5mmpilot hole into the building structure to prevent splitting or cracking. Make sure the electrical supply wires, including the mounting bracket grounding wire and safety cable is pulled through the down rod, between the mounting bracket and the outlet box so that electrical connections can be made later
10

Connect wires to supply/grounding wires using connectors as shown below. After making the wire connections, the wire should be spread apart with the grounded Conductor (neutral Wire) and the equipment-grounding conductor (Ground Wire) on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded conductor (Live Wire) on the other side of the outlet box. The splices after being made should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. Use wire cap to connect the wires according to Figure 11. Ground wires are connected using a larger wire cap.
WARNING
FOR YOUR SAFETY ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE UNDERTAKEN BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN
Figure 11
Once the connection has been made, slide the receiver into the mounting bracket, taking care not to pinch the wires. The canopy comes up to cover the receiver and mounting bracket.

BALANCING / WOBBLYING TROUBLE SHOOTING
Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model–some may move more or less than others. Movement of a couple of centimeters is quite acceptable and does not suggest the fan will fall down. Even though all blades are weighted and grouped by weight, it is impossible to eliminate wobble altogether. This should not be considered a fault. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not generally rigidly mounted. You may do the following action to reduce the wobbling 1) Check all the blade mounting screws are tightened and securely. 2) Wobbling problems may result from inconsistent blade level. To check blade level, measure the distance from each blade tip to the ceiling. Note: If measurements are inconsistent: – check blade mount screws are not over tightened or loose, which can cause the blade tip to not all sit level; – An out of shape blade can cause wobbling, check by removing the blade and lay in on a flat surface. A good flat blade will lay flat on the surface. 3)Blade tracking may be checked simply by use of a household ruler as shown in below Figure. Place the ruler vertically against the ceiling and even with the outside leading edge of a blade. Note the distance of the edge of a blade same as others. Turn the blade slowly by hand to check the remaining blades. If a blade is not in alignment, the blade is either out of shape / warped or the blade screws are not evenly tightened or either loose.
14

MAINTAINANCE
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 electricity power when you do so. Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the wooden blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock. Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearing. No need to oil.

ABOUT THE FAN

WARRANTY SERVICE WOBBLE
NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR

–ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS ARE AUDIBLE TO SOME EXTENT.
Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not generally rigidly mounted – if they were, they could generate excessive ceiling vibration and stress on their mountings. Movement of a couple of centimeters is quite acceptable and does not suggest the fan will fall down. Ceiling fans are mounted very securely on steel brackets with rubber cushioning or with ball-joints to allow free movement. Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model – some may move more or less than others.
Threaded components working slighting loose or blade brackets even slightly bent due to vigorous cleaning or bumping can cause extra wobble and noise. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY- but a little care and maintenance can reduce or prevent this problem.

BUMP-IN-THE NIGHT

This is the biggest cause for service calls, which are outside the manufacturer’s warranty. If a fan has a fault, it will be noticeable at all times. Naturally, when everything is quiet at night, you will be more inclined to hear small noises, which may not be noticeable at other times. Even slightly power fluctuations, and mains frequency signals superimposed in your electricity supply for off-peak hot water control may cause a change in fan motor noise. This is normal.

15

TROUBLE SHOOTING
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 problems, please check the following trouble shooting guide. If a solution to the problem cannot be found, please consult with a licensed electrician. Do not attempt any electrical repairs by yourself. For your own safety, turn off power at fuse box or circuit breaker before trouble shooting your fan.

WARNING
THE CEILING FAN MUST BE SWITCHED OFF, BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING IS PERFORMED.
