INSTALLING THE MOUNTING BRACKET

• The ceiling fan must be installed in a location so that the blades are a minimum 300mm spacing from the tip of the blade to the nearest objects or walls.
• Install the mounting bracket to the ceiling joist or structure that is capable of carrying a load of at least 30 kg, with the two long screws provided. Ensure at least 30mm of the screw is threaded into the support. (Fig. 2)

NOTE: The bracket screws provided are for use with wooden structures only. For structures other than wood, the appropriate screw type MUST be used. Ensure the screws used are suitable for the mounting surface and the surrounding environment.

ANGLED CEILING INSTALLATION (Fig.3)
This fan hanging system supports a maximum 18-degree angled ceiling installation.

HANGING THE FAN

Lift the fan assembly onto the mounting bracket. Ensure the key slot (A) of the hanger ball is positioned on the key pin (B) of the mounting bracket (C) to prevent the fan from rotating when in operation. (Fig.4)

INSTALLING THE FAN

BLADE ATTACHMENT (Fig. 5)

1. Before Installing the blades, remove the blade screws from the top of the fan motor.
2. Align the 2 holes on the blade with the 2 holes on the fan motor assembly and using the 2 blade screws in step 1, to secure the fan motor assembly.
3. Ensure all screws are tightened evenly to reduce the chance of warping or unbalancing. Take care not to over tighten the screws, as this can damage the blades.
4. Once completed, repeat the process on the remaining blades.

LIGHT KIT INSTALLATION (FOR FAN WITH LIGHT) (Fig. 6)

1. Install the bulbs (1, Not included, Max. 15W LED only, E14) into the lamp holders (2).
2. Lift and attach the glass (3) to the base (4) and secure it by turning it clockwise.

ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM

WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE UNDERTAKEN BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
NOTE: AN ADDITIONAL ALL-POLE DISCONNECTION SWITCH MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE FIXED WIRING.

• Connect the “LIVE” supply wire to the “L” of the terminal block on the mounting bracket.
• Connect the “ NEUTRAL ” supply wire to the “N” of the terminal block on the mounting bracket.
• Connect the “ EARTH ” wire to the “ ” of terminal block on the mouthing
• Insert the receiver into the mounting bracket and onto the ball joint.
• Connect the output connector (1) from the receiver to the connector (1) from the fan body.
• Connect the connector (2) from the fan mounting bracket to the input connector (2) from the receiver.

FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

• Ensure the earth wiring is secure and correct, by performing an earthing continuity test from the fan’s accessible metal body back to the earth terminal at the terminal block on the mounting bracket.
• Cover the mounting bracket with the canopy. Ensure all electrical wiring is tucked inside the canopy and that the wires are not damaged during this step. Secure the canopy to the mounting bracket using the screws provided. (Fig. 8)
• Switch ON mains power supply to the fan. Test the fan operations or enjoy using the fan following the instructions the under “USING YOUR CEILING FAN” section of this instruction manual.

USING YOUR CEILING FAN

REMOTE CONTROL (Fig. 9)

• 1x CR2032 3V battery is required to operate the remote control.
• Remove the screw (6) and pull out the battery tray (2) by pressing the clip (1) and pulling out the battery tray together.
• Place the battery (3) on the tray and insert the tray back into remote handset (4) indicated by “+” polarity symbol (5).
• Ensure the polarity is correct as shown in the battery compartment.
• Reinstall the screw (6) to secure the battery tray (2).

OPERATING THE REMOTE
Before you start using the remote, take the time to read through this section and get familiar with the buttons and function of each button (Fig. 10).

1. IR TRANSMITTER
2. HI button: Press the button to set fan running at High speed.
3. MED button: Press the button to set fan running at Medium speed.

EFFECTIVE DISTANCE/LOCATION FOR IR REMOTE CONTROL (FIG. 11)

• Left from the center line: Approximately 45 degrees
• Right from the center line: Approximately 45 degrees
• Distance from remote control to receiver: 3 meters max.

REVERSE FUNCTION
Your ceiling fan can operate in either summer or winter mode.

• SUMMER Mode : The reverse switch should be in the SUMMER position to rotate the fan in an anticlockwise direction. The airflow will be directed downwards, for cooling in summer.
• WINTER Mode: The reverse switch should be in the WINTER position to rotate the fan in a clockwise direction. The airflow will be directed upwards assisting in the circulation of warm air, for energy conservation in winter.

AFTER INSTALLATION

WOBBLE

NOTE: ceiling fans tend to move during operation because they are mounted on a rubber grommet. If the fan was mounted rigidly to the ceiling it would cause excessive vibration. Movement of a few centimetres is quite acceptable and DOES NOT suggest any problem.

• TO REDUCE THE FAN WOBBLE: Please check that all screws which fix the mounting bracket and down rod are secure.
• BALANCING KIT : A balancing kit is provided to balance the ceiling fan on the initial installation. Please refer to the instruction on how to use the balancing kit. The balancing kit can be used to assist re-balancing should the ceiling fan become unbalanced again. Store your balancing kit away after installation for future use if required.

NOISE
When it is quiet (especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises. Slight power fluctuations and frequency signals superimposed in the electricity for off-peak hot water control, may cause a change in fan motor noise. This is normal. Please allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period, most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time. Please note that this is not a product fault and as such is not covered under warranty – All electric motors are audible to some extent.

CARE & 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 cloth to avoid scratching the paint finish. 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY

• To prevent false operation during battery insertion or replacement, this ceiling fan must be disconnected from the supply mains.
• Remove the battery from the remote transmitter before it is discarded.
• Always use the Lithium CR2032 battery type with this ceiling fan remote controller.
• Dispose of exhausted batteries immediately and safely (so they cannot be retrieved by children). Flat batteries can still be dangerous. Contact your local council to safely dispose of the battery.
• Ensure the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries in this product.
