Safety Precautions
1. To ensure the success of the installation be sure to read the instructions and study the
diagrams thoroughly before commencing.
2. All electrical work should only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by
removing fuses or turning off the circuit breaker to ensure all pole isolation of the
electrical supply. If you are in any doubt the services of a qualified electrician should be
sought to ensure that all work is carried out in accordance with the I.E.E. Regulations,
current good practice and other national and local electrical codes.
3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow the rotating fan blades to come into
contact with any object and that there is a minimum clearance of 150mm (6”) from the
blade tip to the wall or ceiling. Please note that the bigger the clearance the better the
airflow from your fan will be. Ensure the blades are mounted at a minimum height of
2.3 meters (7’6”) from the floor when the fan is installed.
4. The fixing point for the fan must be able to support a weight of ten times that of the net
weight of the fan. Net weights can be found on the bottom of the unit’s box. If you are
mounting the fan to a ceiling junction box, the box and it’s fixing must be able to
support the moving weight of the fan and must not twist or work loose.
5. The fan must be earthed.
6. Do not connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may give an unsatisfactory
performance (motor hum) and cause damage to the motor.
7. It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances are operated in the same
room at the same time.
8. The fan must be turned off and stopped completely before reversing the fan direction.
This will prevent any damage to the motor of the unit or controller (if installed).
9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating. This will damage
the blades and upset the balance of the unit causing the unit to wobble.
10. After the fan is completely installed make sure that all connections are secure
and tight to prevent any problems.
11. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may loosen. Check the
support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year to make sure they are
all secure. If they are loose tighten with a screwdriver. ( It is not necessary to take the
fan down from the ceiling )
Note : The important safeguards and instructions given in this manual are not meant to
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that
common sense, caution and care are factors which cannot be built into any product. These
factors must be supplied by the persons caring for and using the unit.

All electrical work should only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by
removing fuses or turning off the circuit breaker to ensure all pole isolation of the
electrical supply.
Your fan is a drop rod fan (Picture A) In this situation the drop rod assembly is used
to lower the fan down from it’s mounting position slightly. Extension rods, ranging
from 12” to 72”, are available if you need to lower your fan further. (This is normally
the case in conservatories or rooms with very high ceilings.)
Rods can be trimmed if necessary. If trimming is required cut excess from the bottom
of the rod and re-drill a hole for the cotter pin.
Picture A
Installing the fan
The following steps will guide you to a successful installation:
1. Hanger bracket installation
2. Drop rod assembly
3. Wiring instructions
4. Attaching light fitting
5. Blade assembly
6. Attaching the blades
The hanger bracket should be screwed on to a firm flat
surface. The fixing location must be able to
withstand ten times the static weight of the fan. If you
have any doubts as to the ability of your intended
fixing location to be able to withstand this loading,
please contact our service help-line or another
competent authority to advise you. In most situation
two wood screws screwed into a wooden joist is more
than adequate to support your ceiling fan
The hanger bracket should be screwed onto the joist
with the two wood screws provided. The washers
provided should go in the following sequence:
1. Hanger bracket installation
P.4
Screw head > Steel round washer > Black rubber round washer > Hanger bracket >
Ceiling. Screw the hanger bracket to the ceiling and make sure all connections are secure
to prevent the fan from falling . Fixings must screw into a joist and not just the
plasterboard. Loosen the two canopy screws from the hanger bracket.

2. Drop rod assembly
Remove the cotter pin and split pin from
the bottom of the drop rod. If a longer
drop rod is going to be used transfer the
ball joint to the longer rod. Put the drop
rod through the flared end of the canopy
and boss cover and pass the electrical
supply leads from the top of the motor
through the drop rod until they exit at the
top of the ball joint. Always ensure the rod
passes through the canopy before the rod
is connected to the fan. If an extension
rod longer than 30 inches is to be used, the
cables will need to be extended in an
appropriate way. be
Loosen the drop rod set screws on the
boss, which is on top of the motor and
insert the drop rod into the drop rod boss
on top of the motor casing. Turn gently to
align the holes in the boss with those in the
rod. Ease the cotter pin through the boss
and the rod taking care not to pinch or
damage any cables. Fix in place by
replacing the split pin.
Tighten all set screws at this point. This
prevents the rod and the fan moving in
relation to one and other. It also assists in
P.5
maintaining a good earth continuity through the fan, which is important to the safety of
the unit. Failure to tighten the locking screws down may cause the motor to oscillate badly.
After feed motor lead wire through drop
rod, boss cover and canopy and insert
drop rod into yoke, put the lead wire go
through the hole on the Gasket (provide in
the screw pack), then push the Gasket
inserted on the top of hanger ball for
effective water proofing.

The fan now requires to be connected to your household supply in accordance with diagrams
1-7.
Please note:
Before installation ensure that you have all pole disconnection of the electricity supply and that all wiring is
carried out in accordance with I.E.E. Regulations, current good practice, national and local electrical codes.
Improper installation may result in an electrical short and may void your warranty. IMPORTANT: THIS
APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Ways of wiring your fan
3. Wiring Instructions
Once the drop rod assembly has been
fitted, lift the fan up to the hanger bracket.
Steer the ball in from the side of the
bracket and lower it into the recess of the
bracket.
Rotate the ball around until the groove in
the side of the ball aligns with the
protrusion on the upper edge of the recess.
When aligned the fan should drop slightly
as it assumes it’s correct position. This is
to prevent rotation of the rod and fan
when the unit is working.
Connect the wiring as shown in the wiring
instructions. See pages 6~9.

Disclaimer - This diagram is to be used as a guide. Use of this guide is at the installers
risk. Fantasia Distribution Ltd accept no liability for injury, loss or damage resulting from
use of this guide
These colours are only for guidance and do not necessarily represent regional variance
Do not connect the motor supply cable to a dimmer switch. If a wall mounted control
for the fan is required then we recommend you contact our help-line.
It is possible to control your fan and light with a remote control system. For further
details please contact the help-line.
Once the cables of the fan have been
connected. Offer the canopy up to the
hanger bracket and insert the screws in
the hanger bracket. Tighten all the
screws to ensure a good safe fixing.
It is important to fix the canopy properly
as this offers another level of safety
should anything happen to the hanger
bracket.
Now is a good time to test that the fan
operates correctly. If the motor has
plastic packing pieces attached then
remove them now.
With the power switched on check that the fan operates in both directions and that there
is a difference in speed (this won’t be exact as the blades are not installed yet).
If all is well proceed with the rest of the installation. If a problem is experienced please
refer to the fault finding section at the back of this leaflet.
Connect the dangler to the end of the pull chains. If you require longer chain please call
our help-line.

4. Adding a light kit
To install an optional light kit first ensure all pole disconnection of the electricity supply.
Then unscrew the three screws at the bottom of the switch housing and remove the
switch housing plate. Your light fitting will either replace this plate entirely or will
connect on to the plate via the push out centre stud. (Refer to instructions that are
supplied with your light fitting ). The light is then offered up to the switch housing.
Locate the two cables marked “for light’. Connect the blue and orange cables with their
corresponding colour cables on the light fitting. The orange wire is the ‘live’ supply for
the light and the blue wire is the ‘neutral’. The connection is made with push together
connectors.
When assembling the lighting attachment back onto the fan ensure there are no cables
trapped between the metal surfaces. Also ensure that there are serrated washers on the
three screws at the bottom of the switch housing. This ensures good earth continuity to
the light.
Fit the bulbs.
Clip the dangler for the light onto the pull chain

5. Assembling the blades
The acrylic blades now need to be assembled
on to the carrier brackets.
Carefully unwrap the carrier bracket.
Align the bracket with the holes in the
blades and use the screws and fibre washers
provided to connect them.
The fibre washer should go on top the blade
between the head of the screw and the
surface of the blade. Ensure the screws are
tightened up firmly.
6. Attach the assembled blades onto the fan
Using the coarse threaded short bolts
and the spring washers provided, bolt
the carrier bracket on to the motor.
Ensure the bolts are tightened firmly.
Be careful not to bend the carrier
brackets during installation as this may
result in an imbalance and induce
wobble.
If installing more than one fan be careful not to mix the blade sets. Each set is carefully
manufactured to be evenly balanced, mixing would break up a balanced set and again
this could induce wobble.
There is a anti-water cover attached
with fan that coving pull switch for
water proofing, please don’t lose when
the fan is unpacked and make sure the
anti-water cover is at properly
position.

Operating instructions
Having checked that all electrical connections are securely made and insulated, turn on
the power and check the operation of the fan. The pull switch on the side of the motor
housing is the selection switch for the speed function of the fan and is also the on/off
function. The first pull from the off position takes you onto the high speed; the second
onto medium speed; the third onto slow speed and the fourth pull to the off position.
The slide switch on the other side of the switch housing changes the direction of rotation of
the blades. (Remember to let the fan slow to a complete stop before changing the direction
of rotation). When looking up at the fan blades, anti–clockwise rotation achieves a
downward flow of air and clockwise rotation achieves an upward movement of air.
Summer operation – In warm weather a downward movement of air is more desirable as
this achieves a greater cooling effect.
Winter operation – In winter a movement of air upwards and then back down the sides of
the room achieves a more balanced temperature throughout the room.
If a wall control or remote control system has been used refer to the accompanying leaflets
enclosed in these systems.
Blade balancing
Whilst every precaution is taken at the factory to ensure your fan is of the highest quality,
imbalance may occur. This may be due to slight irregularities in the blades or blade
carriers. Further problems can be caused by deviating from these instructions.
The following procedure may help to rectify the situation.
The hanger bracket must always be tight against the ceiling so that no movement can
occur.
Make sure that the rod is firmly locked into the boss on top of the fan. The locking
screw should be securely tightened.
Check all the blades are firmly tightened on to their carrier brackets.
Check all the carrier brackets are tightened on to the motor firmly.
Blade tracking can easily be checked by holding a yardstick or similar measure vertically
from the ceiling to the tip of the blade. Then check all blades measure the same distance
from that point. To correct slight problems in the alignment of a blade, gently bend the
carrier to bring it back in line.
Changing over two adjacent blades – may correct any imbalance.
Use the universal balancing kit supplied with the fan.
Please note that drop rod styles of fans do have a slight level of movement but this is
in no way dangerous.

Care and cleaning
Ensure that periodic checks of the fixings take place. (see Safety Precaution 11)
Periodic cleaning of your new Fantasia fan is recommended particularly the blades. The
plated or painted surfaces of your fan have been sealed with a lacquer to minimize any
discoloration or tarnishing. Therefore use a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid
scratching the surface.
The motor has permanently sealed bearings so no lubrication is necessary
Do not use water when cleaning you fan as this could damage the surfaces of the casing
and the blades and may create the possibility of a electric shock.
Tips from Fantasia
 If you have a false ceiling, connect the hanger bracket onto the main structure and use
an extension rod to lower the fan below the false ceiling. (Remember to allow adequate
clearance for the rotating blades – see Safety Precaution3).
 The hanger bracket can be mounted onto a surface up to 40°. The fan will have to be
installed in the drop rod style of mounting for this (Remember to allow adequate
clearance for the rotating blades – see Safety Precaution 3).
 Do not forget to put the canopy on the rod before connecting the rod onto the fan.
 Extension chain is available if the control chains are not long enough, please ring the
help-line for further details.
 If you are installing more than one fan make sure that you do not mix the fan
blade sets.
Fault Finding
Noise level unacceptable Noises from fans are usually due to something being loose on
the fan. As a first corrective measure ensure all screws are
tight (including shade screws if a light is fitted )
Fan wobbles excessively The blades may have imbalance. Follow the blades balancing
section.
The drop rod boss set screws may not be locked tightly.
Tighten and retry.
Fan will not rotate Check supply connections.
Check that the blades are not fowling anything
Light will not work Check supply connections.
