This ceiling fan is approved to Australian Electrical Standards. The manual is primarily meant for USA
users and most information inside will help fan assembly if read carefully. There are differences when used in
Australia that need to be followed:
THE FAN MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. (The warranty on this fan will be
void if the appliance is not installed by a licensed electrician).
All wiring and installation procedures must comply with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules and any local
requirements. The ceiling fan is required to be earthed for protection against electric shock.
If separate speed control wall switch is used, it must be an electronic type with suitable capacitor with
characteristics similar to the following: 470K Ohm 1/2 W 2uF/350Vac & 3uF/350Vac.
For disconnection from the supply this fan MUST be provided with a switch with air gap contact separation
in all active (phase) conductors and shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring according to the wiring rules.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4. Remove the hanger ball by loosening the setscrew
in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the
downrod (Figure 3). Remove the pin from the
downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the
pin and hanger ball for reinstallation in Step 9.
5. Separate, untwist and unkink the two motor leads,
then route them through the hanger ball/downrod
assembly and seat the downrod in the motor
coupler (Figure 4).
6. Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod with the
holes in the motor coupler. Install the clevis pin and
secure with the hairpin clip (Figure 4). The clevis
pin must go through the holes in the motor coupler
It is critical that the clevis pin in the motor coupler is
properly installed and the setscrews securely
tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and
setscrews are properly installed could result in the
fan falling.
7. Install two setscrews (previously removed in
Step 2) in the motor coupler (Figure 4). While
pulling up on the hanger ball, securely tighten both
setscrews.

Electrical and Structural
Requirements
If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling light fixture,
turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and
remove the existing light fixture.
The hanger bracket must be securely anchored and
capable of withstanding a load of at least 31 Kg.
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must
be in accordance with National and Local codes and
the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock.
WARNING
Disconnect electrical supply and test before you
touch!
All wiring must be in accordance with AS/NZS 3000
“The Wiring Rules”.
The warranty on this fan will be void if the appliance is
not installed by a licensed electrician.
WARNING
The ceiling fan is 230V 50Hz Class I appliance and
will require an earth. Figure 7 depicts different
structural configurations that may be used for
securely mounting the fan.

How To Hang Your Ceiling Fan
1. Securely connect the green/yellow earth wires
from the hanger ball and the hanger bracket and
the supply green/yellow earth wire to the terminal
block as shown in Figure 11.
2. Securely connect the blue fan motor wire and the
black supply neutral to the “N” terminal of the
connector block as shown in Figure 11.
3. Securely connect the brown fan motor wire and the
red (Active) supply wire to the “L1” terminal of the
connector block as shown in Figure 11. After
connections have been made, turn leads upward
and carefully push leads into the recess making
sure there is separation between connectors.

Check to see that all connections are tight, including
ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
connectors, except for the ground wire. Do not
operate fan until blades are in place. Noise and fan
damage could result.

Maintenance
IMPORTANT CARE INSTRUCTIONS
for your Ceiling Fan
Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is the only
maintenance that is needed.
When cleaning, use only a soft brush or lint free cloth
to avoid scratching the finish.
Abrasive cleaning agents are not required and should
be avoided to prevent damage to finish.
Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It
could damage the motor or the blades and create the
possibility of an electrical shock.
WARNING
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely
heavily on the proper installation and use of the
ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure quality and
product performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location.
Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the
middle of the room and at least 2.1 m above the floor
and 50 cm from the walls. If ceiling height allows,
install the fan 2.4 m above the floor for optimal airflow.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer,
use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction.
The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a
wind-chill effect, making you "feel" cooler. Select a fan
speed that provides a comfortable breeze, lower
speeds consume less energy. In the winter, reverse
the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in
the clockwise direction. This produces a gentle
updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down
into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your
AIRCON thermostat when using your ceiling fan -
additional energy and dollar savings could be realized
with this simple step!
Turn Off When Not in the Room. Ceiling fans cool
people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off
the ceiling fan to save energy.
Energy Efficient Use of
Ceiling Fans
Model No.: ACF765
IMPORTANT
Fan installation must be completed, including the
installation of the fan blades, before testing of the
controls.
4. Restore electrical power to the ceiling fan by
turning the electricity on at the main fuse box.
5. Check the operation of the fan by rotating the
control through the four positions marked 0 - III
(“0” position is OFF) (Figure 15).
6. All fans are shipped from the factory with the
reversing switch positioned to circulate air
downward. If airflow is desired in opposite
direction, turn your fan OFF and wait for the blades
to stop turning, then slide the reversing switch to
the opposite position, and turn fan on again
(Figure 16).
7. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction
and reverse the airflow.
