reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
2. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
3. An all-pole disconnection switch must be incorporated into the fixed wiring, in
accordance with local wiring rules.
4. Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate
collection facilities. Contact your local government for information regarding the
collection systems available. If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or
dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the ground water and get into the food
chain, damaging your health and well-being.
5. The structure to which the fan is to be mounted must be capable of supporting a
weight of 30kg.
6. The fan should be mounted so that the blades are at least 2.1m above the floor in
Australia.
7. The fan is suitable for indoor and coastal areas provided the fan is fully undercover.
8. Only a licensed electrician/contractor should perform installation of this product.
9. WARNING: If unusual wobbling or oscillating movement is observed, immediately
stop using the ceiling fan and contact the installing electrician/contractor or warranty
provider as listed in this rear of this document.
10. The replacement of any parts should be performed by a licensed electrician/contractor,
the warranty providers agents, or suitably qualified persons.
11. The fixing means for the attachment of the mounting bracket (as supplied) or other
devices to the ceiling shall be fixed with a sufficient strength to withstand 4 times the
weight of the ceiling fan.
WARNING:
FOR SAFE USE OF THIS FAN AN ALL-POLE DISCONNECTION
MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO THE FIXED WIRING IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE WIRING RULES.
As outlined in clause 7.12.2 of AS/NZS 60335-1 for meeting the minimum
electrical safety of this standard. Please note warranty will be void if installation
is without an all-pole disconnection incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules. Example: If a fan is connected to a circuit that can be
isolated via an all-pole safety switch at the switchboard, then this is considered
to be an all-pole disconnection to the ceiling fan electrical circuit, meeting the
requirements of clause 7.12.2 of AS/NZS 60335.1.
If installing with a remote control, a single-pole switch on the active of the
receiver input of remote control must also be included in the wiring, and
located in the same room as the ceiling fan.

WOBBLE:
NOTE: Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are mounted
on a rubber grommet. If the fan was mounted rigidly to the ceiling it will cause excessive
vibration. Movement of a few centimetres is quite acceptable and does not suggest any
problem.
TO REDUCE THE FAN WOBBLE:
Please check that all screws which fix the mounting bracket and down rod are secure and
blade screws are fastened securely.
NOTE: This fan has been precision balanced at the factory and may need re-balancing.
(Balancing kit supplied can be used if required).
NOISE:
When it is quiet (especially at night) you may hear occasional small noises. Slight power
fluctuations and frequency signals superimposed in the electricity for off-peak hot water
control, may cause a change in fan motor noise. This is normal. Please note that this is not
a product fault and as such is not covered under warranty – all electric motors are audible
to some extent.
Please allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period, most noises associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
CARE AND CLEANING:
• Every 6 months periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required.
Use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the paint finish. Please turn off
electricity power when you do so.
• Do not soak or immerse your ceiling fan in water or other liquids. It could damage the
motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
• Ensure that the fan does not come in contact with any organic solvents or cleaners.
• To clean the fan blade, wipe with only a damp clean cloth with NO organic solvents or
cleaners.
• The motor has a permanently lubricated ball bearing so there is no need to oil.
NOTE: Always turn OFF the power at the mains switch before performing any
maintenance or attempting to clean your fan.

IMPORTANT
FACTS
All electric motors, including fan motors make some noise and may feel hot if touched –
this is NOT A FAULT. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation as they are not generally
rigid-mounted. Rigid mounted ceiling fans generate excessive vibration (which leads to
noise) and stress on their mountings.
Movement in a ceiling fan is not uncommon and does not suggest the fan will fall down.
Some fans wobble more than others, even in the same model.
Fan lights can rattle; if they are not supplied with a fan.
Fan Operation
A ceiling fan rotates much more slowly than an electric desk fan; it cools people effectively
by introducing slow movement into the otherwise still, hot air of a room, inducing natural
evaporative cooling. Fans never actually cool air, unlike air-conditioning equipment, but
use significantly less power.
Normal Wear and Tear
Threaded components working slightly loose, or blade carriers becoming slightly bent due
to vigorous cleaning or bumping can cause extra wobble and noise. This is not covered
under warranty, but a little care and maintenance can reduce or prevent this problem.
Night Noises
This is the biggest cause of service calls, which are outside the manufacturer’s warranty. If
a fan has a fault, then it would be noticeable at ALL TIMES. Obviously when everything is
quiet at night you will be more inclined to hear small noises, which may not be noticeable
at other times. Even slight signals super imposed in your electricity supply for off peak hot
water control may cause a change in the fan motor noise, which is deemed normal. Solar
power systems will cause extra humming in motors. In both scenarios it is recommended
that a filter be installed to eliminate these issues.
Dimming of LED light only (Dimmers can NOT BE USED for the operation of the fan
motor. This will instantly void any warranty provided).
During testing, we found most LED dimmers worked well, but not all brands were
necessarily tested. From time to time changes can be made to electronic accessories like
dimmers and these can alter the performance. We always suggest thoroughly testing for
optimum results.
