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 guarantee
- 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.
Fan Lights
Except for actual faults in manufacture, which
are extremely rare, Fan light glass and globes
are not covered under your guarantee. Noises
and vibrations etc are often more accentuated
when a fan light is fitted.
For instance, a fan light glass that has not been
tightened or worked loose can cause a rattle.
Again, care and maintenance will reduce this.
All electrical motors, including fans make
some noise and may feel hot if touched -
this is not a fault.
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”) air flow is directed downward.
This is best for summer cooling.
With the switch set to the lower position
(marked “W”) air flow is directed upwards.
This is best for winter operation, assists in
moving air around the room, makes heating
more efficient.
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 wood
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 of centimetres is
quote 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
