CLEANING

Wipe with a soft dry cloth or use a soft brush to remove dust. Care
should be taken that no water or moisture gets into the ceiling fan.
Do not use water to clean the ceiling fan. Do not use metal polish or
abrasive cleaning materials on any part. A small amount of furniture
polish can be used to clean the fan blades. When cleaning the fan
blades do not apply too much pressure on the them. It is recommended
that you support the ends of the blades when you clean them.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Fan will not start
CAUTION: Make sure mains power is switched off before you carry out these checks.

1. Check the main and branch circuit fuses or contact breakers.

2. Check power supply wires to the fan are secured.

3. Check reverse switch is firmly in the up or down position.

Fan sounds noisy
Allow a break-in period of 24 hours. Most noise associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.

1. Check to make sure all screws to the fan motor housing are secure but not overtight.

2. Check mounting plate screws are tight and securely fitted to ceiling joist or ceiling support.

3. Check that the screws which attach the blade holder arms are tight.

4. Check that the lamp and lamp shade are properly fitted to the lamp holder.

5. A dimmer switch should not be fitted to this ceiling fan. If this ceiling fan is connected to a dimmer switch it will make
noises when the fan light is switched off. Remove the dimmer switch.

Fan wobbles or shakes excessively
Please note that a small amount of wobble is natural and should not be considered a problem.
All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural wood varies in density which could cause the fan to wobble
even though all blades are weight matched. The following procedure should eliminate most of the wobble. Check for
wobble after each step.

1. Check that fan blades are screwed firmly into the blade holder arms.

2. Check that all blade holder arms are tightened securely to the fan housing.

3. Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade tracking levels are unequal. Blade tracking may be checked
simply by use of a length of timber. Place the timber vertically against the ceiling and even with the outside leading
edge of the blade. Mark the distance from the edge of the blade to the ceiling. Turn the blades slowly by hand to check
the remaining blades. If a blade is not in alignment, the blade holder arm may be gently bent up or down to be in-line
with the other blades. Allow the fan to operate for ten minutes to check if this problem has been solved.

4. Make sure the mounting plate is securely fixed to the ceiling joist.

5. Check that the ball joint engages with the groove on the ceiling canopy.

2) Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall plug and hole size.

3) Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or enlarge the hole.

4) Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic tiles. Ensure the plug is fitting below the ceramic
tile to avoid splitting or cracking.

5) Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the drilled hole.
