CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR CHOICE
CONGRATULATIONS, as you have just chosen a quality ceiling fan.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The information contained in the following pages has been prepared to ensure you of trouble-free
operation of your Ceiling Fan .
1. To ensure the success of the installation be sure to read the instructions and study the
diagrams thoroughly.
2. All electrical work must 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.
Installation may only be done by a qualified electrician and the work performed in accordance
with the local regulations, current good practice and other national and local electrical codes.
3. Make sure that the 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 this clearance is the better the airflow from your fan
will be. Ensure the blades are mounted at a minimum height of 2.1 meters from the floor when
the fan is installed.
4. Please note that the fan is good for damp location, but the mounting location must be in covered
areas(i.e. under balcony, covered corridor or conservatory) CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE
UPPER CANOPY OF FAN IS 100% COVERED , NO WATER WILL GO THROUGHT
CANOPY TO THE FAN . While this fan is rated to IP23 standard, but it is not intended for
uncovered outdoor /all wet location.
5. 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.
6. The fan must be earthed.
7. Do not connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may give an unsatisfactory
performance (motor hum) and cause damage to the motor.
8. It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances be operated in the same room at
the same time.
9. 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).
10. 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.
11. After the fan is completely installed make sure that all connections are secured and tightened
to prevent any problems.
12. 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 secured. If
they are loose, tighten with a screwdriver.
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. The persons caring for and
using the unit must supply these factors.
Consult only licensed electrical contractor for installation. In the unlikely event of damaged or
missing parts, refer to the In Home Warranty contact details listed on the Warranty card or the
original place of purchase.

Your ceiling fan is a sensible choice to cool as well as help you warm your living area. You will
have a reduction in both heating and cooling costs by regular use of your fan. In summer, put the
reverse switch in the forward position so air is blown down, producing a cooling breeze. In winter,
reverse the fan so an upward airflow will push warm air off the ceiling and balance the
temperature in the room. In winter, run the fan at lower speed than in the summer.
Switch on power and test ceiling fan and light after completing all wiring
connections. If you find any problem, please check the “Trouble Shooting Checklist”
included in this booklet before calling for service.
Unnecessary calls are inconvenient for all and can attract a service charge.
MECHANICAL NOISE MAY BE NOTICED ON INSTALLATION-ALLOW AT
LEAST 8 HOURS SETTLING-IN PERIOD. REMEMBER, SOME FANS MAY
WOBBLE SLIGHTLY, ESPECIALLY ON HIGH SPEED.
