all instructions before using the product and keep all instructions for future reference
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The 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 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.
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.
A single-pole switch also must be placed in the same room as the fan as per local wiring
regulations AS3000
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. Only a licensed electrician should execute the installation.

the tip of the blade to the nearest objects or walls.
Secure the hanging bracket to the ceiling joist or structure that is capable of carrying a load of at least
30kg, with the two long screws provided. Ensure at least 30mm of the screw is threaded into the
support.
NOTE: The bracket screws provided are for use with wooden structures only. For structures other
than wood, the appropriate screw type MUST be used.
Warning: Ceiling fan must be mounted above 2.1 m from the floor and 1 m from the wall to the blade

AFTER INSTALLATION
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.
NOTE: This fan has been precision balanced at the factory and may need re-balancing. Balancing kit
supplied can 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 allow a 24-hour <breaking-in= period, most noises associated with a new
fan disappear during this time. 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.
CARE AND CLEANING:
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 power off when you do so.
Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or blades and create the
possibility of an electrical shock.
The motor has a permanently lubricated ball bearing so there is no need to oil.
NOTE: Always turn off the power at the main switch before attempting to clean your fan.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
How to Use the Balance Kit
1. Tighten all screws.
2. Unscrew the blades and fix them back at different
combination of positing on the motor.
3. Measure the level between the ceiling and all blades.
4. Use the blade Balancing kit provided if the fan still
wobbles.

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. They are not covered by warranty.
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.
