Installation

MOUNTING OPTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg) or less”, and use screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:

• Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
•  Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting 35 lbs. (15.9 kg). Use only UL Listed outlet boxes marked
• “Acceptable for Fan Support of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg) or less.” Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations below show two different ways to mount the outlet box.

• To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above (available at any Home Depot store).

Operation

NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction of the blade rotation.

Remote control

• Your fan is equipped with a remote control to operate the speed and lights for your new ceiling fan.
• Speed setting for warm or cool weather depends on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on.
• The fan is shipped from the factory with the reversing switch (YY) positioned to circulate air downward. If airflow is desired in the opposite direction, turn your fan off and wait for the blades to stop turning, then slide the reversing switch (located on the light kit pan) to the opposite position, and turn the fan on again. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction and reverse airflow.
• Warm weather – (Forward) A downward airflow creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
• Cool-weather – (Reverse) An upward airflow moves warm air off of the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

Operating your fan and remote control

• Power ON/OFF: Press and release the power button to turn the fan and light on or off.
• Fan speed: LEDs on the fan speed button will illuminate to the corresponding speed.
• Press and release 1 time: turns the fan on high speed.
• Press and release 2 times: Turn the fan on to medium speed.
• Press and release 3 times: turn the fan on at low speed.
• Press and release 4 times: turn the fan off.

Light ON/OFF

• Press and release the button to turn the light on or off.
• Press and hold the button to activate the dimmer function.

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) changing

NOTE: The default temperature of the ceiling fan light is 3000k (Soft White).

• Push and release the button to cycle through the three colour temperature options.
• Option 1: 2700K (Warm White).
• Option 2: 3000K (Soft White).
• Option 3: 5000K (Daylight).

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.

• 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. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
• Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discolouration or tarnishing.
• You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
•  You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Troubleshooting

Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.

The fan is noisy.| Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.

Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.

Ensure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.

Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.

Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting plate and outlet box.

The fan wobbles.| Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.

Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure from a point on the centre of the blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement, and measure from the same point on each blade to the ceiling. Repeat for each blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes.
