General Maintenance
Changing Remote Batteries: - Batteries used in Handsets will weaken over time and should
be replaced every 6 months. Batteries removed from the handset should be disposed of
properly and kept out of reach of children.
* Always ensure fan is completely switched off at the isolation switch or circuit breaker *
Cleaning the Motor Housings: - Motor housings should be regularly cleaned to avoid build
up of dust. Dust will attract moisture and condensation leading to corrosion. Use a soft,
damp (not wet) cloth to remove dust. Use only water and mild detergent. Spray cleaners
may damage coatings.
Cleaning the Blades: - Use a soft damp cloth to remove dirt from blades. Always dry blades
after cleaning. Blades should not be left damp or wet as this will damage blade finish or
cause corrosion. Use only water and mild detergent. Spray cleaners may damage coatings.
Always use soft cloths to clean blades and motor housings to avoid scratching painted and
plated finishes. Ideally your fan should be cleaned every 3 to 4 months.
If removing blades for cleaning then do so for each fan separately, do not mix blades from
different fans as this can upset the balance of the fan. Put blades back in the position they
came from.
Normal Wear and Tear: - Please note that a ceiling fan travels an enormous distance in the
course of its normal operation. Air is abrasive and suspended dust, high humidity and other
contamination will cause wear and tear of surfaces.
The use of fans under roofed decks and pergolas next to swimming pools and in coastal
areas will require increased maintenance due to the presence of chlorides (either as
common air borne salt spray or from compounds in pool chemicals)
The temperatures attained in the peak of a pitched deck or veranda roof can easily exceed
60-70°C and especially when coupled with chlorides this will increase maintenance
requirements. Even indoors in coastal areas the influx of warm, sea air can accelerate the
surface corrosion of metal parts. This can still happen a great many kilometres from the
sea.
When humidity is high and temperature drops moisture condenses on metal surfaces
including ceiling fans. The layer of moisture can be almost microscopic but it will affect the
surface by depositing a tiny layer of dissolved salts or airborne acidic compounds and thus
eventually lead to corrosion if the product is not properly and regularly cleaned. This ap-
plies equally to indoor and outdoor fans.
LACK OF MAINTENANCE LEADING TO SURFACE CORROSION OR SIMILAR
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

AZURE
By HPI
1.
Do not
attempt to operate the fan (or light kit) with any wall control that is not approved by HPI for
use with its fans. DO NOT use solid state controllers. The use of unapproved controllers may void your
warranty.
2.
Do not
mix blade sets from one fan to another as this may upset the balance of the fan. If only one
blade is damaged you are still required to replace with a new set.
