- Please note warranty will be void if installation is without an all-pole disconnection incorporated in the fixed wiring by the wiring rules.
- Example: If a fan is connected to a circuit that can be isolated via an all-pole safety switch at the switchboard, then this is considered to be an all-pole disconnection to the ceiling fan electrical circuit, meeting the requirements of clause 7.12.2 of AS/NZS 60335.1.
- A single-pole switch on the active of receiver input of the remote control must also be included in the wiring, and located in the same room as the ceiling fan.(see wiring diagram
- The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. The structure to which the fan is to be mounted must be capable of supporting a weight of 20kg.
- The fixing point on the ceiling requires a solid bracing structure such as Timber noggins or joists. The bracing should be butted up firmly and securely to the back of any nonstructural roofing panel such as plaster or Gyprock to ensure safety and optimum performance of the fan.
- The fan should be mounted so that the blades are at least 2. 1m above the floor.
- Only a licensed electrician should complete the installation.
- WARNING: If unusual wobbling or oscillating movement is observed, immediately stop using the ceiling fan and contact the manufacturer, its service agent, or suitably qualified persons.

Replacing an old or damaged handset
- If you are replacing a handset only (not the receiver), the repairing process (point 1) will need to be performed before the operation of the fan is possible.
IMPORTANT FACTS
Fan Operation:
- Skyfan DC has been designed to optimize airflow with a minimal amount of energy usage. A ceiling fan rotates much more slowly than a traditional style wall, pedestal or desk fan; ceiling fans cool people effectively by introducing slow movement, with high airflow, into the otherwise still, hot air of a room, creating a natural evaporative cooling effect. Fans never actually cool air, like air-conditioning equipment, but use significantly less power.
Normal Wear and Tear
- Over time, moving parts may become slightly loose or worn creating small increases in noise or movement. Fan operation may also be affected by accidental contact by persons or foreign objects. These conditions are not covered under warranty, but a little care and maintenance can reduce or prevent these problems from arising.
Night Noise
- All electric motors, including fan motors, make some noise however, the Skyfan DC fan motor is not susceptible to the noise problems that are commonly experienced with typical Higher wattage, heavier AC type ceiling fan motors. The Skyfan DC Range are one of the quietest fans available and is ideal for all areas of the home especially bedrooms where noise is a crucial consideration.
MAINTENANCE
CARE AND 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 damp cloth to avoid scratching or marking the surface. Please turn off electricity 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 to oil.
