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 WOULD 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 will not need to be balanced again.
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. The manufacturer’s warranty covers actual faults
that may develop and NOT minor complaints such as hearing the motor run –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 off electricity power when you do so.
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.
The motor has a permanently lubricated ball bearing. There is no need to oil
NOTE: Always turn off the power at the mains switch before attempting to clean your fan.
