Care and Cleaning
Troubleshooting
Regular cleaning of the Aeratron Ceiling fan blades and fan motor housing is the only maintenance needed.
Due to the self-balancing design, a large build up of dust on blades may create an imbalance in extreme cases
only, causing the blades to wobble during use. This is likely to be more apparent on fans with an extension rod.
Regular cleaning of the blade is recommended to prevent dust from building up.
1. When cleaning your fan, only use a so brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. DO NOT
use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or blades and/or create the
possibility of electric shock.
2. When dusng the blades, they must be supported to prevent bending - no pressure should be applied
to the blade pivot. Aer cleaning the blades, check to ensure that the Drive Sha is vercal, otherwise
the fan may wobble.
3. Occasionally, it may be necessary to re-ghten the fan blades/screws to prevent any clicking or
humming sounds during operaon. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and
humidity ranges.
4. If you experience any flaw in the operaon of your fan, please check the points in the Trouble Shoong
secon below.
If the fan does not operate properly, or turns on or off at random.
It is normal that the fan is rotang backwards/forwards ll finds the direcon of rotaon.
Make sure that the blades are aached when tesng the fan, the motor is NOT rotang without the
blades aached
2. If applicable, change the baeries in the Remote Control (Handset).
3. Re-pair the remote using steps 3&4 (page 7)
4. Mulple fans: disconnect power to all fans, wait for a minimum of 10 seconds before switching
power back on to all the fans (see page 7)
5. Disconnect and reconnect the 3-pin connector (receiver to motor) to make sure that the
connectors are fully engaged (see page 6)
6. Check the main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses.
7. Check the wire connecons to the fan.
8. Other RF devices may obstruct the handset to receiver signal.
If the fan is noisy
9. Check to make sure that Suspension Ball is located in the slot correctly, and the one screw
securing the suspension ball is ght (see page 5).
10. Check that Hanger Bracket is solidly mounted, no movement allowed (see page 4)
11. Check that the 2 Hub screws per fan blade are ght and firm (see page 8)
12. Excess wind can li the fan blades and result in some noise.
If the fan rotates but does not create much airflow
13. The room may contain items which obstruct the air-flow.
14. The fan may be too small for the size of the room.
15. The fan might be in reverse funcon (counter clockwise rotaon)
Except for items 1 to 3 below, the following require access to
areas of the fan which carry lethal voltage and must be carried
out by properly qualified personnel. ONLY points 1 to 3 below can
be carried out by the user.
!
Note: In some areas, signals are sent through the power lines by the electricity supplier for the control of
off peak hot water, street lights and so on. These signals may cause an intermient humming in the ceiling
fan. Filters may be available in your country at customer costs. It is not a ceiling fan fault.

General Information
Warranty
1. All electrical motors, including fan motors generate some noise, and may feel hot to the touch. This is
NOT a fault.
2. Ceiling fans tend to move during operaon due to the fact that they are not rigidly mounted. (Rigid
mounngs can generate excessive vibraon and stress on the mounngs).
Movement of a couple of cenmetres is quite OK and does not suggest that the fan will fall down. The
Aeratron fan is mounted securely on a metal Hanger Bracket with rubber cushioning and a ball joint to
allow free movement. Please note that due to manufacturing variaons not all Aeratron ceiling fans
are exactly the same - some may move more than others. Note: Excessive wobble can be caused by the
Drive Sha not being posioned vercally. This can be easily recfied by adjusng the posion of the
Fan Motor Assembly in the Hanger Bracket (see step 9 (D) page 9).
3. Ceiling fans are an environmentally smart choice to help cool you in your home. They work by creang
air flow which causes a cooling sensaon on the skin. Ceiling fans do not cool down air, so for energy
wise use, they should be switched off when leaving a room. The effecveness of ceiling fans is also
dependent on the humidity in the air - they are more effecve in humid environments, and less so in
dry ones.
4. During winter, a reverse (counter clockwise) turning fan helps to reduce heang costs. Warm air rises
to the ceiling, where it cannot be felt by the occupants of a room, especially in areas with high ceilings.
The fan assists to distribute warm air more evenly in the room allowing to set the thermostat several
degrees lower.
Normal Wear and Tear.
Threaded components working slightly loose or parts even slightly damaged or bent during vigorous cleaning
or bumping can cause wobble and noise. This is not covered under warranty, but care during maintenance and
cleaning should prevent this from occurring.
You must have the original purchase receipt or bill of sale to make a warranty claim. No claim will be
accepted unless proof of date of purchase is available at the me of making the warranty claim.
Ceiling Fan Warranty Period.
The ceiling fan itself, excluding the Remote Control Transmier and Receiver, is covered by a 3 year in-home
warranty unless stated otherwise in your jurisdicon (USA –30 year warranty on the motor). For any warranty
claims, please contact your local or regional retailer or distributor. Aeratron Pty Ltd will, at its discreon, only
repair or replace defecve products which have been directly purchased from Aeratron Pty Ltd, all other
product claims must be lodged through your local retailer/distributor. Labour and product delivery costs are
borne by Aeratron Pty Ltd or the retailer during this 3 year period. The cost of obtaining or using special access
equipment (scissor lis, scaffolding etc.) is specifically excluded, and it is the responsibility of the owner to
provide such equipment and have it safely installed and operated.
Remote Control Warranty Period.
In general, Aeratron Pty Ltd Remote Control Receivers and Transmiers (Handsets) are covered by
a 1 year in-home warranty (unless stated otherwise in your jurisdicon) under the same condions as
described above for fans.
Balance of Warranty on Repaired or Replaced Products.
Any replaced or repaired product is covered only by the balance of the warranty remaining on the original
arcle.

Transfer of Warranty.
If the dwelling where the fan is installed changes hands, the balance of the warranty passes to the new owner,
providing the original bill of sale for the product is retained by the new owner.
Warranty does not cover damage to the fan if it is moved from one dwelling to another during the warranty
period. The warranty is voided in total if the product is sold as second hand goods.
The following is NOT covered by warranty.
1. Any damage incurred aer delivery to the owner that is not caused by a fault in the products materials
or workmanship; damage from lightning or power surges; incorrect installaon; damage due to
incorrect installaon; noise or other influence of ripple control or informaon access systems operated
over power delivery infrastructure; water damage of any kind; installaon or use outdoors; damage
arising from connecon to or use with alternave power systems (e.g. inverters, solar, etc.).
2. Ceiling fans not installed by a licensed electrician.
3. Repair of a ceiling fan used incorrectly, accidentally damaged, modified in any way or not serviced in
accordance with the maintenance instrucons.
4. Travelling costs incurred by Aeratron Pty Ltd personnel or service agents and/or the cost of
transporng and insuring the ceiling fan between the nearest Aeratron Pty Ltd agents' service depot
and its normal locaon. These costs must be met by the purchaser.
5. Subject to any statutory provisions to the contrary, claims for damage to furniture, carpet, walls,
ceilings, foundaons or any other consequenal loss either directly or indirectly resulng from a faulty
ceiling fan.
6. Signals sent through the mains power supply by the electricity supplier for off peak hot water, and
other signals including those for street lights and such. These signals may cause an intermient
humming in the ceiling fan. It is not the fault of the ceiling fan.
7. A service call fee will be charged where; there is nothing wrong with the ceiling fan or; the defecve
operaon of the ceiling fan is due to failure of electricity or; the installaon is not in accordance with
Aeratron Pty Ltd instrucons and/or applicable local regulaons or; the defects have been caused by
incorrect applicaon or abuse of the ceiling fan or; the damage has been caused by unauthorised
persons aempng to repair the fan.
8. When humidity is high and temperature drops moisture condenses on metal surfaces including
ceiling fans. The layer of moisture can be almost microscopic but it will affect the surface by
deposing a ny layer of dissolved salts or airborne acidic compounds and thus eventually leading to
corrosion if the product is not properly and regularly cleaned.
9. Travelling costs incurred by Aeratron personnel or service agents exceeding 50kms between the
nearest agents’ service depot and the customer. These costs must be met by the purchaser.
Making a Claim
You must have the original purchase receipt or bill of sale along with a proof of installaon by a Licensed
Electrician to make a warranty claim. No claim will be accepted without these documents being provided.
Please contact the local agent via the warranty Hotline, web or email.
Please note carefully - If the product is found to be free of defects or the product is not funconing
properly as a result of faulty installaon or lack of maintenance then Aeratron or its service agent reserve the
right to charge a service fee to recfy the reported problem.
