WIRING OF CEILING FAN:
1) Total four colors of wires
connected from the top of the
motor:
* White –neutral wire
* Blue –live wire for lightkits
* Green –Ground wire
* Black –live wire for fan
2. Connect fan wires to ceiling wires: White to White, Black to Black, Green
to Green. If you opt for lightkits then connect the Blue to Blue wire. If
not, cap the Blue wire off with a connector.
3. After connecting the wires, spread them apart so that the Green & White
wires are on one side and the Black wire is on the other side. (fig 9)
4. Earth wire is longer than safety cord by 60mm and more. When the
failure of the suspension system occurs, the current carrying conductor
taut before the earthling conductor and the body of the fan assembly is
still effectively earthed.
1) After done up the wiring, attach
the canopy to the hanger
bracket by pushing up and twist
to locate screws in the two key
holes.
2) Tighten the two screws firmly.

MAINTENANCE TIPS:
1. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may be loose.
To check the support connections, brackets and blades attachments 2
times a year. Make sure they are all secured (It is not necessary to
dismantle the entire fan from ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its appearance over the
years. Do not use water when cleaning, use only a soft brush or lint-free
cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is coated with a lacquer to
minimize the ratio of discoloration or tarnishing which would damage the
motor or the wood or possibly cause an electric shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture varnishing to the wood for
additional protection and enhance its beauty. Surface scratched mark can
be touch-up with a light coat of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan.The motor is created with lubricated
sealed ball bearings.
