SAFETY RULES
1
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 50lb. 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, brackets and blade attachments twice a year
to make sure they are all secured. If they are loose, tighten with a suitable tool.

WARNING
THE FAN BASE MUST BE SECURELY MOUNTED AND CAPABLE OF RELIABLY SUPPORTING AT LEAST 50 LBS. OUTLET BOXES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE
FOR FAN SUPPORT. SEE PAGE 4 OF OWNER’S MANUAL FOR SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS. CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.

CARE OF YOUR FAN
Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.
ATTENTION:
ATTENTION:
Use the white cotton gloves provided when handling the
wing. Natural oils on fingers can leave permanent marks on the finish.
1. Because of the fan's natural movement some connections may become
loose. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments
twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to remove
fan from the ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over
the years. Use only a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the
finish. Plated finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimize discoloration
or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning, this could damage the
motor, wood blades or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light
coat of furniture polish for additional protection and enhanced beauty.
Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth (one included with your fan) with
lukewarm water or duster to remove dust from the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water
and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER.
DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
