Components
Installing your Fan
NOTE : Improperly installed ceiling fans can be dangerous and expensive
to repair and will void the warranty. This fan is designed for indoor use
only. Do not mount in positions where fan is subject to water or moisture.
The fan must be installed so that the blades are more than 2.3 metres above
the floor.
WARNING keep all objects at least 1 metre from the sides of the
appliance.
Note to the Installer
- Please retain this instruction leaflet and give it to the owner for their future reference.
- Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
- All wiring must comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 3000.
- Use the AS/NZS Certified wall switch/controller supplied or an AS/NZS Certified wall switch/controller supplied by an authorised electrician.
- The fan blades supplied for this fan are matched to minimise wobble.

- The weight of this fan is 5kg and the fixing means for attachment to the ceiling such as hooks, or other devices must be fixed with a sufficient strength to withstand 4 times the weight of the ceiling fan.
- The mounting of the suspension system must be performed by the manufacturer, its service agent or suitable qualified persons.
Installation
- Choose a location for the fan which will ensure adequate clearance from all objects and walls and that the fan blades will be more than 2.3 metres from the floor.
- At the selected mounting position, check whether there is a ceiling joist to which the fan can be secured. If there is no suitable supporting member, install a 50 x 100mm brace between ceiling joists.
- Secure the Hanger bracket with 2 screws to the ceiling
Installing your Fan
This fan is to be installed by authorised electrician. Wiring diagram below for reference. The fan must be earthed.
Wiring Diagram:
Attach the blades to the motor housing using 2 blade
screws per blade.
Carefully lift the fan assembly onto the hanging bracket. Rotate fan until the
notch on down rod ball (1) engages the ridge in the hanging bracket (2). This
will allow for hands free wiring. With the hanging bracket holding the fan
assembly, make sure the connector is properly in place.
Wires connections on the terminal Brown wire — L; Blue wire — N; Green/Yellow
—
Tighten the lower canopy set screws. Ensure that they are tightened against
the down rod to ensure good electrical and mechanical fixing of the lower
canopy to the down rod.
Fit the controller. The controller will fit standard wall plate mountings.
Wire the controller in accordance with the wiring diagram. Fit to wall. Fit
screw caps.
Check all wiring, switch power on at switchboard, check operation.
Operating Instructions
The fan is operated from the wall mounted control switch. It has 3 speed positions and an off position.
Turn the knob to the desired speed position to activate the fan and to off to stop it.
Summer/Winter Operation This fan incorporates a reversing switch. The switch is located on the side of the lower canopy, just above the motor and blades. With the switch set to the upper position (marked “S” or Summer) air flow is directed downward. This is best for cooling in summer. With the switch set to the lower position (marked “W” or Winter) air flow is directed upwards. This is best for winter operation, and can assist in moving heated air around the room.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Care and Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is the only maintenance that is
needed. Use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
- Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan, it could damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
- Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearings. No need to oil.
- This fan is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
- Do not allow young children to play with the fan.
Wobble
-
Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that 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.
-
Ceiling fans are mounted very securely on steel brackets with rubber cushioning or with ball joints to allow free movement.
-
Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model – some may move more or less than others.
The following procedures should eliminate any wobble. Check for wobble after each step. It is impossible to eliminate wobble completely.- a. Check that all blade brackets are tightened securely.
- b. Most wobble problems result from inconsistent blade level. To check blade level, measure the distance from each blade tip to the ceiling. If measurements are inconsistent, adjustments of brackets will be required.
- c. Wobble problem could also result from deviations in distance from blade to blade. To check blade separation, measure the distance from blade tip to blade tip. Should measurements vary, loosen screws connecting blades and brackets (one at a time) then shift blade to proper position and re-tighten screws.
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.
Bumps-in-the-night
This is the biggest cause for service calls which are outside the
manufacturer’s warranty. If a fan has a fault, it will be noticeable at all
times. Naturally when everything is quiet at night, you will be more inclined
to hear small noises which may not be noticeable at other times. Even slight
power fluctuations, and mains frequency signals superimposed in you
electricity supply for off-peak hot water control may cause a change in fan
motor noise. This is normal.
Trouble Shooting
