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:

1. 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.
2. The ceiling fan must be connected to a 230/ 240V AC 50Hz power supply.
3. 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.
4. The fan must be earthed.
5. The fan must be installed so that the blades are more than 2.1 metres above the floor.
6. 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.
7. 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 150 mm 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
8. DO NOT use outdoors unless covered. Refer to Warranty terms for Alfresco use.
9. DO NOT connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may damage the motor. Use ONLY the provided wall controller
10. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
11. Young children should be supervised to ensure they DO NOT play with the appliance.
12. It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances be operated in the same room at the same time.
13. The fan must be turned off and stopped completely before reversing the fan direction. This will prevent any damage to the motor of the fan or controller (if installed).
14. 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.
15. After the fan is completely installed make sure that all base and fan blade fixations are secured and tightened to prevent any problems.
16. 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.
17. DO NOT use a solid state dimmer type fan controller. Use ONLY the provided switch controller for fan speed control.
18. 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
19. If a remote control is installed, remove the wall controller.
20. Beware of height installation closure.
21. A blade balancing kit is included. Ensure blades are balanced immediately after installation to reduce wobble and noise.

CHOOSING A SUITABLE LOCATION

• Ceiling fans should be installed in the middle of the room, with a safe distance of at least 2 1 m from floor, and 150 mm from wall.
• An extension rod may be required for rake ceiling installation.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION : Before installing the fan, make sure you have turned OFF the electricity supply.

MOUNTING THE HANGING BRACKET

1. Secure the hanging bracket to the ceiling joist or suitable structure that is capable of carrying a load of at least 45 kg, with the two long fixing screws provided Ensure that at least 30 mm of the screw is threaded into the support
   NB: The fixing screws included are designed for use when ceiling fan is secured onto timber joists. For all other surfaces, additional and suitable fixing screws for that surface will need to be purchased.

2. Make sure that the position of installation will not allow the blades to come into contact with any object. The fan must be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least 2.1 metres above the floor.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The building cable should enter the canopy about 10 15mm from the terminal block. Connect the mains supply L Active cable to the terminal block C at w all controller as per marking on it. Ensure connections are firm. For your convenience, and to assist in easy installation , your ceiling fan is connected with Brilliant’s easy connect system. Simply connect the male and female connectors (A to B), and then ensure all excess wiring is retained inside the ceiling canopy.

ATTACH BLADE

1. Remove the plastic shipping stabilizer tabs as in Fig. 1 then fit the blades to the fan motor as shown below in fig. 2 with bracket facing upward.

2. Repeat Step 1 to attached the rest of the blades and tighten firmly.

3. Fig. 3 shown blades attached completed.
   HANGING THE FAN

4. Carefully lift the fan, and place the down rod ball assembly into the mounting plate ensuring that the ball correctly locks into place.

5. Refer to the following section detailing ‘Electrical Connection’ on page 6 for details on how to wire this product correctly.

6. After the fan has been wired to the power supply, carefully position all excess cable inside the boundaries of the hanging bracket.

ATTACH CANOPY

Carefully slide the canopy up to cover the hanging bracket and ball joint, taking care not to damage any wires. Once in position, secure the canopy with the screws provided (Fig. 4)

REVERSE SWITCH

The ‘Summer/Winter’ switch should be in the forward position to make the fan rotate in an anti clockwise direction during summer. In winter , this switch should be reversed (move to WINTER position ) so that the blades now move in a clockwise direction.The ‘Summer/Winter’ switch should be in the forward position to make the fan rotate in an anti clockwise direction during summer. In winter , this switch should be reversed (move to WINTER position ) so that the blades now move in a clockwise direction.

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.

1. Check all the blade brackets are tightened securely.
2. Some fan movement is normal. However, interchanging an adjacent (side by side) blade pair may redistribute the weight and result in smoother operation.

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 electricity when you do so.
• 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
The manufacturer warranty covers actual faults that may develop, but NOT minor complaints, e g hearing slight noise from motor in operation ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS ARE AUDIBLE TO SOME EXTENT, more so, when the fan is operating at low speeds.

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 centimetres 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 slighting 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.
