Thank you for purchasing your Fanco Studio DC Ceiling Fan. Please read all instructions

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. All wiring must be done by a licenced electrician as on-site warranty may be voided
if proof cannot be provided. This ceiling fan 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 fan must be connected to a 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 at least 2.1 metres above the floor.
6. The ceiling fan weight is max. 7 kg. The structure that the ceiling fan is mounted to must
be capable of supporting a weight of at least 45 kg. 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 enough space from the blade tip to the wall or
ceiling. Please note that insufficient clearance distances might cause wobbling and the
bigger this clearance is the better the airflow from your fan will be.
8. DO NOT install this product outdoors. Installing the fan in a position where it could be
exposed to water, moisture or external elements is dangerous.
9. DO NOT connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may give an unsatisfactory
performance (motor hum) and cause damage to the motor and/or controller. Use ONLY the
provided remote control.
10. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision.
11. Young children should be supervised to ensure that 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.
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 fixings 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. If unusual oscillating movement is observed, immediately stop using the ceiling fan and
contact the manufacturer, its service agent or suitably qualified persons.
18. The replacement of parts of the safety suspension system device shall be performed by
the manufacturer, its service agent or suitably qualified persons.
19. If it is necessary to replace the live or neutral brushes to ensure operation of the motor
