CARE & CLEANING
Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint free cloth
to avoid scratching the paint finish. Please turn off electricity power when you do so.
Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the wooden blades and
create the possibility of an electrical shock.
Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearing. No need to oil
The manufacturer warranty covers actual faults that may develop, but NOT minor complaints, e.g. noise from
motor run
—ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS ARE AUDIBLE TO SOME EXTENT.
Ceiling fan 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 acceptable 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.
Threaded components working slighting 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.
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 slightly power fluctuations, and mains frequency signals
superimposed in your electricity supply for off-peak hot water control may cause a change in fan motor noise.
This is normal.
Except for a manufacturing fault, which is extremely rare, FAN LIGHTS AND GLOBES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER
YOUR FAN WARRANTY. Noises and vibration 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
Glass of all kinds is warranty to the retailers’ door and subject to the retailer checking it on delivery.
