Congratulations on purchasing your new Artemis ceiling fan by Minka Aire. This is an extremely high quality
product and we are sure that you will be very happy with your purchase. Despite thorough quality control and
testing sometimes issues can arise. We want you to be thoroughly happy with your product and ownership
experience. Please read this manual for installation and refer to it if problems arise.
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. For your safety, all electrical connection and disconnection must be performed by a Licensed
Electrician.
3. The fixing point for the fan must be able to support a weight of at least 40kg. 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.
4. The fan must be
earthed.
5. Do not connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may give an unsatisfactory performance (motor
hum)
and cause damage to the motor. Only use the wall controller supplied.
6. It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances be operated in the same room at the same
time.
7. To prevent damage the fan must be turned off and stopped completely before reversing the fan
direction.
8. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating, as this may cause injury, damage
the
blades and upset the balance of the unit causing it to wobble.
9. Once the fan is completely installed make sure that all connections are secured and tightened to
prevent
any problems.
10. Due to the fan’s natural movement, some connections may loosen. Check the support connections,
brack-
ets and blade attachments twice a year to make sure they are all secured. If they are loose, tighten with a
suitable tool.
Note: The important safeguards and instructions given in this manual are not meant to cover all possible
condi-
tions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors
which cannot be built into any product.
For installation advice, or in the unlikely event of damaged or missing parts please consult a licensed
electri-
cians

IMPORTANT NOTES
FAN CONTROL
Your warranty will be void if a solid-state dimmer type fan controller or other brand wall controller is used.
ONLY use the wall controller supplied.
With these controllers there is a strong possibility that the ceiling fan motor will produce an unpleasant loud
humming noise.
FAN INSTALLATION
Under our warranty terms this ceiling fan must be installed by a licensed electrician. Ceiling fans installed incor-
rectly can be dangerous and expensive to repair. This voids the warranty too. This fan is designed for indoor
use only, mounting where the fan is subject to water or moisture can be dangerous and also void the warranty.
FAULT FINDER
Always 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, PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST 8 HOURS
SETTLING-IN PERIOD. SOME FANS WOBBLE MORE THAN OTHERS—EVEN IN THE SAME MODEL; IT
DOES NOT MEAN THE FAN IS FAULTY.
WARNING
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.
