IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions carefully, even if you feel you are quite familiar with
this type of appliance.
When using electrical appliances, in order to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and/or injury, these basic safety precautions should always be
followed:
-
This appliance MUST be installed by a Qualified Electrical Contractor in accordance with the local regulations, and all local, state and national electrical codes. Any alterations or additions to building wiring must be completed by a licensed electrical contractor, or person authorised by legislation to work on the fixed wiring of any electrical installation.
-
The ceiling fan must be connected to a 220/240V AC 50Hz power supply.
-
All electrical work must only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breaker, to ensure all pole isolation of the electrical supply.
-
The fan must be earthed.
-
The fan must be installed so that the blades are more than 2.1 metres above the floor.
-
The structure that the ceiling fan is connected to must be capable of supporting a weight of at least 45kg. The fixing must be able to support the moving weight of the fan and must not twist or work loose.
-
Make sure that the installation site will not allow the rotating fan blades to come into contact with any object and that there is a minimum clearance of 150mm (6”) from the blade tip to the wall or ceiling. Please note that the bigger this clearance is the better the airflow from your fan will be.
-
DO NOT use outdoors unless covered. Refer to Warranty terms for Alfresco use.
-
DO NOT connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may damage the motor. Use ONLY
the provided wall controller OR remote control. -
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
-
Young children should be supervised to ensure they DO NOT play with the appliance.
-
It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances be operated in the same room at the same time.
-
Advise turn the fan speed to lower rate (eg. #1 or #2) before reversing the fan direction. This
will prevent any damage to the motor of the fan or controller (if installed). -
Do not insert anything into the fan blades whilst they are spinning. This will damage the blades and upset the balance of the fan causing the unit to wobble.
-
After the fan is completely installed make sure that all base and fan blade fixations are secured and tightened to prevent any problems.
-
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 remain secured. If any are loose, tighten.
-
DO NOT use a solid-state dimmer type fan controller. Use ONLY the provided switch controller for fan speed control. (if applicable)
-
An all-pole disconnection incorporated in the fixed wiring is to be provided, such as a n all-pole switch or a supply cord fitted with a plug.
-
If a remote control is installed, remove the wall controller. (if applicable)
-
Beware of height installation closure.
-
A blade balancing kit is included. Ensure blades are balanced immediately after installation to reduce wobble and noise

CORRECTING ANY WOBBLE EVIDENT
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 OK 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 and should not be considered a problem. Ceiling
fans tend to move slightly during operation because they are not generally
rigidly mounted.
The following should be performed to reduce any evident wobble.
- Check all the blade brackets are tightened securely.
- Some fan movement is normal. However, interchanging an adjacent (side by side) blade pair may redistribute the weight and result in smoother operation.
- If require, use the blade balancing kit come with the unit to balance the blade and reduce the wobbling issue.

MAINTENANCE
CARE &CLEANING
- Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required.
- Use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Please turn off the electricity when you doso.
- Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the wood blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
- The motor has a permanently lubricated ball bearing, and as such is maintenance-free.
NOISE
After press timer (1H, 2H, 4H or 8H) button, if press ON/OFF button will
deactivate the timer function. Other button will not deactivate the timer
function. The lighting will respond to the timer setting.
WOBBLE
- Ceiling fans are mounted very securely on steel brackets with rubber cushioning or with ball joints to allow free movement.
- Ceiling fans are designed to move during operation because 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 OK and does not suggest the fan will fall down.
- Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model -some may move more or less than others.
NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR
Threaded components working slightly loose or blade carriers 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.
RIPPLE CONTROL FILTER
- In parts of Australia (NSW and QLD), the power company superimposes a signal voltage onto the mains household voltage. This signal voltage is used to remotely control consumer’s electric hot water heaters and other devices throughout the surrounding area.
- Unfortunately, this signal can appear at the ceiling fan as a loud intermittent “hum”. If this noise is apparent please contact your local Electricity service provider on how they can assist to provide rectification, usually in the form of a mains supply ripple filter to filter out this signal.
