WIRING OF CEILING FAN:
INSTALLATION OF CANOPY:
fig 9
1) Total four colors of wires
connected from the top of the
motor:
* Red –Live wire for fan
* Blue –Live wire for lightkit
* Green –Ground wire
* White –Neutral wire
2. Connect fan wires to ceiling wires: White to Neutra, Red to Live, Green to
Ground. If you opt for lightkit then connect the Blue to Live 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 Red 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.
5. Place the remote receiver inside the canopy (refer to the remote control
manual for remote receiver installation).
fig 10
1) After wiring done, lift up the
canopy towards the ceiling
and tighten with screw firmly
(fig 10).

2. Connect the lightkit wires to the
light fixture as (fig 11).
* white to white
* blue to blue
3. Remove one screw from light
fixture, unscrew the other screws
out 3-4mm (fig 12).
4. Pointing the holes of lightkit to
the screws by pushing up and
twist clockwise (fig 12).

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.
WARNING

PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO ANY REPAIRS (REFER TO
THIS SECTION), MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
