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 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 bearings. No need to oil.
WARRANTY SERVICE
The manufacturer
’s warranty covers actual faults that may develop, but NOT minor complaints e.g. noise from motor
running
— ALL ELECTRIC MOTORS ARE AUDIBLE TO SOME EXTENT.
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 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 not all ceiling fans are the same. Even in the same model, some may move more or less than
others.
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 WARRANTY - butt a little care and maintenance
can reduce or prevent this problem.
BUMP 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 your
electricity supply for off-peak hot water control may cause a change in fan motor noise. This is normal.
FAN LIGHT
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.
