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. 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 structure that the ceiling fan is mounted to must be capable of supporting a weight of at
least 45kg. 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 a minimum clearance of 150mm (6”) from the blade tip to the
wall or ceiling. Please note that the bigger this clearance is the better the airflow from your fan
will be.
8. DO NOT
use outdoors unless installed in an enclosed alfresco area. In this case fan should
be installed at least 1.5m away from edge of eave/roof. Installing the fan in a position where it
could be exposed to water or moisture 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. An all-pole disconnection incorporated in the fixed wiring is to be provided, such as an all-pole
switch or a supply cord fitted with a plug.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The important safeguards and instructions given in this manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common
sense, caution and care are factors which cannot be built into any product.
FAULT FINDER:
Always check the “Trouble Shooting Checklist” included in this booklet before seeking
warranty claim.
Mechanical noise may be noticed on installation. Allow at least 8 hours settling-in period.
Some fans may wobble more than others, even if they are identical. This does not
necessarily indicate a fault.
