After completing the electrical connection at the mounting bracket terminal block, cover the mounting
bracket with the ceiling canopy. Ensure all electrical wiring is tucked inside the canopy and that the
wires are not damaged during this step. Secure the canopy to the hanger bracket using the screws
provided. Do not overtighten the screws as this will misalign the canopy potentially causing unwanted
noises. For best results, leave screws 4-5mm from mounting bracket and position canopy into the key
lock slot.
FAN WALL CONTROL (typical installation, plate and light switch not supplied)
Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan.

FORWARD/REVERSE FUNCTION
Your ceiling fan can operate either in forward/summer mode or reverse/winter mode.
FORWARD/SUMMER MODE: The switch should be in the “left” (SUMMER) position to rotate the fan
in an anticlockwise direction. The airflow will be directed downwards, for cooling in summer.
REVERSE/WINTER MODE: The switch should be in the “right” (WINTER) position to rotate the fan in
a clockwise direction. The airflow will be directed upwards, for energy conservation in winter.
USING YOUR
CEILING FAN
ALBANY fan instructions_Sept20.qxp_Layout 1 21/9/20 4:34 pm Page 9

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 and blade screws are fastened securely.
NOTE: This fan has been precision balanced at the factory and may need re-balancing. (Balancing kit
supplied can be 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 note that this is not a product fault and as such is not covered
under warranty – All electric motors are audible to some extent. Please allow a 24-hour
“breaking-in” period, most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
CARE AND CLEANING:
• Every 6 months 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 soak or immerse your ceiling fan in the water or other liquids. It could damage the motor or
the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
• Ensure that the fan does not come in contact with any organic solvents or cleaners.
• To clean the fan blade, wipe with only a damp clean cloth with NO organic solvents or cleaners.
• The motor has a permanently lubricated ball bearing so there is no need to oil.
NOTE: Always turn OFF the power at the mains switch before performing any maintenance or
attempting to clean your fan.

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 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. Solar power systems will cause extra humming in motors. In
both scenarios it is recommended that you explore options of adding a filter that can be installed to
eliminate these issues.
Dimming
The light kit supplied with this fan is NOT DIMMABLE.
Dimmers and solid state wall controllers can NOT BE USED for the operation of the fan motor.
This will instantly void any warranty provided.
