Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodic cleaning of your fan is the only maintenance
required . All blades will eventually need cleaning to remove dust.
WARNINGS
Only persons with the necessary skill should attempt the cleaning. Do not allow children or infirm persons to attempt the
cleaning/ Always be careful on ladders if one is to perform the cleaning of the fan. Never lean on the blades with your
weight. Do not use water or damp clothes.
Ensure the power is OFF to the fan via the wall switch or main switch board.
Ensure the blades are stationary.
Wipe each blade and the motor body with a lint free dry cloth to remove dust.
It is expected that a small quantity of dust will be removed from the fan during this process.
If the diffuser requires cleaning for light models , rotate the diffuser approximately 50m anti clockwise to remove it.
Then wipe the inside of the diffuser, Rotate back on to secure it back onto the fan.
NOISE
The manufacturer warranty covers actual faults that may develop , but NOT minor compliants . e.g. hearing slight
noise from motor in operation - ALL ELECTRICAL MOTORS ARE AUDIBLE TO SOME EXTENT, more so, when the fan is
operating at low speed.
WOBBLE
•
Ceiling fans are mounted very securely on steel brackets with rubber cushioning or with ball joints to allow
free
movement.
•
Ceiling fans are designed to move during operation because 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 centimeters is quite okay and does not suggest the fan wil fall down.
•
Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same , even in the same model-some may move more or less than
others.
WARNINGS
If unusual oscillating movement is observed , immediately stop using the ceiling fan and
contact Martec Australia.

NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR
Threaded components working slightly loose or blades carriers even bent due to vigorous cleaning or
bumping can cause wobble and noise. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY but a little care and
maintenance can reduce or prevent this problem.
