  • Turn the isolation switch on for the 1st fan and within 20 seconds press and hold on the remote for 3 seconds. Remote should be paired, check fan functions.
  • Repeat the above steps with next fan ensuring the previous fan is left on at the isolation switch.
  • NOTE: Each fan must have its own isolation switch as per the instructions and the diagram. Please contact your installing electrician to rectify if this is not the case.

Loss of function or control between hand piece and receiver

• Try the re-pairing process as outlined above (point 1)
• Try pairing a handpiece from a different fan as outlined above (point 1).
• If the problem persists, call Ventair technical support on 1300 665 926.

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.
