Ceiling fan performance relies heavily on proper
installation and use of the fan.
First, choose an appropriate mounting location. Fans
with broad airflow should be located in the middle of a
room. Fans with more intense, localised airflow should
be located above or nearer to the area where the
airflow is desired. Keep the blade tips at least 0.5m
from walls and avoid placing fans in corners (or they
may wobble).
Second, choose the best mounting height, allowing at
least 2.1m from the floor. Mounting the fan too high will
reduce its effectiveness. Different length rods are
available.
Avoid being too close to air conditioning ducts and
breezeways (these may cause the fan to wobble).
For cooling, the ‘wind chill’effect of a breeze
passing over skin provides direct cooling and the
circulation of air helps reduce stuffiness and
makes a room more comfortable.
During winter, a ceiling fan is an inexpensive way
to reduce heating costs by forcing the layer of
warm air that pools under the ceiling to spread out
and mixwith the cooler air below. Setting the fan
to ‘winter’or ‘reverse’avoids the wind chill effect
occurring directly beneath the fan.

WARNING
This fan requires an earthed circuit
supplying 240V~ 50Hz
AS/NZS60335.2.1 states an all pole
isolation switch must be fitted. The
installer should verify what is required
under the Wiring Rules.
Hanging and Wiring
Mount the bracket using the supplied hardware.
Never use angled head screws, only use pan
head or roofing screws.
Install circuit wiring. A single or double pole
isolation switch is required
(#check local regulations).
Assemble the fan using the instructions on
the following pages, hang it and verify the
floor to blade height is more than than 2.1m
When the ball is fitted to the down rod, make
sure the 5mm diameter steel pin is in place
and the grub screw is tight. The steel pin
supports the mass of the fan and the grub
screw stops the rod wobbling in the ball joint.
WARNING
Never hang the fan without the
5mm steel pin in the ball joint. If
the pin is missing the fan will fall.
When hanging the fan, make sure the tab in
the bracket locks into the notch in the ball. This
stops the fan motor and ball joint spinning inthe
bracket. If the tab & notch are not locked
wiring and bracket can be damaged.

ThreeSixty Fans Pty. Ltd. – Plain English Ceiling Fan Warranty Terms
ThreeSixty Fan Warranty Ed. 1.3 Technical and Warranty Hotline: [phone]
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entled to a refund or
replacement for a major failure and for compensaon for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entled
to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major
failure.
Mechanical and Structural Components
Your ThreeSixty Product is covered against mechanical and structural defects that prevent it from working by a limited 36 month
on-site warranty. This warranty covers only the product itself and excludes workmanship or materials related to its installaon
or any modificaons. A major failure may be, for example, a motor defect prevenng a product from operang shortly aer it
was first installed or if it was damaged while in the original packaging. If the product stops working due to a mechanical or
structural defect within the first 36 months we will repair or replace the product at our discreon.
Electronic Components
Your ThreeSixty Product is covered against electronic defects that prevent it from working by a limited 12 month on-site
warranty. This warranty covers only the electronics supplied with the product and excludes workmanship or materials related to
its installaon or any modificaons. A major failure may be, for example, a power module that failed shortly after it was first
installed or if it was damaged while in the original packaging. If the product stops working due to an electronic defect within the
first 12 months we will repair or replace the electronic part at our discreon.
Compensaon for reasonably foreseeable loss
Compensaon normally comprises us paying associated labour costs to replace the defecve product if it’s installed within a
reasonable distance from our repair agent. If beyond a reasonable distance (30km) you can arrange your own electrician and we
will compensate you for this up to a maximum of $115.50 inc GST. Note, we do not pay extra for extended travelling me or
addional costs when the job requires a longer than average me to complete.
To prevent or limit costs you may incur for service calls, you must nofy us of the intenon to use your own contractor and not
engage one unl we have spoken to them (to arrange parts that may be required). If the problem is not a defect covered by our
warranty terms you will have to pay all costs. To reduce cost and inconvenience for all involved we will do our best to diagnose
the fault and supply parts before the contractor visits the site.
Eligibility for In-Home Service Calls
Hard wired electrical products must (by law) be installed by a licensed electrician. To obtain in-home warranty service you must
be able to provide a copy of the installing electricians invoice or the Cerficate of Compliance given to you when the product
was first wired up and tested. If you cannot provide this informaon we limit our warranty to repair or replacement of the
product at our workshop and you will bear the costs of removal, shipping to us and reinstallaon. We will pay the freight to
send the recfied unit back to you.
Access to products
Products installed on ceilings 4m and above may require special access equipment or WH&S measures. All costs for this
equipment must be borne by the site owner and the ceiling height given when booking a service call. If a service agent chooses
not to access a product installed at height due to WH&S concerns the owner must remove and reinstall the product at their own
expense.
Isolaon Switches
Australian Standards require our instrucons to state an isolaon switch must be fied. This allows the product to be physically
switched offin case of faults or to prevent damage from surges, lightning, etc. Emergency disconnecon and/or remote control
re-programming that can’t be performed due to lack of an isolaon switch is not covered by warranty.
Commencement
The warranty period begins from date of purchase and in-home warranty service is available only at the site of original
installaon. If the product is installed as part of a project or development the warranty period commences when the product
was delivered to the site.
Damage
Damage from Force Majeure, electrical surges, wind, rain, lightning, power grid fluctuaons, water ingress, condensaon or use
with incompable power sources will not be recfied under warranty. Likewise solid state or dimmer type speed controls may
damage ceiling fans or cause them to make unusual noises. Genuine parts and advice are available through our online and
telephone support services.

ThreeSixty Fan Warranty Ed. 1.3
Cosmec defects
Carefully inspect your product prior to installaon and nofy us as soon as possible if there are cosmec defects. Cosmec
defects are generally not covered by warranty unless present when the product is inially unpacked. Damage from being struck
by objects or not being kept clean is not covered by warranty.
Corrosion
Deterioraon of finishes, including rusng, ping, corrosion, fading, tarnishing or peeling is not covered by warranty beyond six
months. Products specified as corrosion resistant or made from Stainless Steel are not corrosion proof and will discolour or
deteriorate if not cleaned. As a guide, maintain your product as you would your kitchen appliances (clean every 3 months).
Noise
Signals sent through the power grid by the electricity supplier may cause intermient noises in your product. These noises are
not the result of a fault and filters to reduce this noise may be available at addional expense.
Clicking, cking and creaking noises from fans are usually caused by the mounng bracket not being correctly aached or when
blades screws are loose. Only use the hardware provided to install ceiling fans. If the mounng bracket is aached using
counter-sunk screws it will work loose and cause unwanted noise and movement in your fan. Wooden bladed fans may need
their blade screws periodically ghtened. Unless a product is defecve noise will not be recfied under warranty.
Wobbling
Wobbling is generally not caused by a defecve fan but by air currents in the room. Aer a fan has been running for a long
period it will cause air currents to form and, depending on the shape of the room and its furnishings, the air returning to the fan
may be uneven.
Improper mounng will also cause a fan to wobble. Every mounng bracket screw must be secured to solid materials in the
ceiling. Metal C secon raers may need to be doubled to form a box secon to prevent flexing. Foam sandwich ceiling panels
will require reinforcing to stop flexing. Unless a product is defecve wobbling will not be recfied under warranty
Airflow
The amount of airflow produced by a fan is dependent on where it’s installed because room shape, mounng height and
furnishings will affect the perceived air movement. A product is deemed to be funconing normally if it is running within 15% of
the specified RPM when installed.
