ASSEMBLY - Balancing the fan

Take the following parts from the packaging:

• Balancing clip
• Two balancing weights

During manufacture, we ensure that your ceiling fan is of the highest possible quality. However, the fan may sometimes not be balanced correctly. This is usually due to irregularities in the fan blades or the attachment brackets. If the fan is not balanced, check the following:

• The attachment plate must be fitted as close as possible against the ceiling.
• If the distance sleeve is used, then this must be securely fixed. If you change anything to the distance sleeve, make sure you also re-tighten the screw.
  • The fan blades must be firmly attached to the assembly brackets.
• The assembly brackets must be firmly attached to the motor housing.
• The fan blades must be evenly distributed when viewed from below. If necessary, carefully reposition them.
• The ends of the fan blades must all be the same distance from the ceiling. Measure this by placing ruler against the ceiling and measuring the distance from the ceiling to the end of a fan blade. Do this for all four fan blades. If one of the fan blades is not the same distance from the ceiling as the others, correct it by carefully bending the blade.

If the steps given above do not balance the ceiling fan, then carry out the procedure given below.

1. Set the fan to the speed which causes it to wobble the most.
2. Turn off the fan and place the balancing clip halfway along one of the blades.
3. Turn on the fan again and check whether the wobbling has increased or decreased.
4. Turn off the fan again and place the balancing clip halfway along another one of the blades.
5. Turn on the fan again and check whether the wobbling has increased or decreased.
6. Repeat this for the other fan blades and determine for which blade the wobbling decreases the most.
7. Place the balancing clip back on this fan blade, as close as possible to the assembly bracket.
8. Turn on the ceiling fan and check the wobbling.
9. Turn the ceiling fan off again and slide the balancing clip towards the end of the blade. Repeat this until the fan wobbles the least.
10. Remove the balancing clip and stick the two balancing weights on either side of the blade at this location.

OPERATION - Use

The fan blades must be completely still before changing the position of the summer/ winter switch.

1. Tilt the fan to the required angle. You can set the fan blades:

a. So that they rotate clockwise. Set the summer/winter switch to the top position (winter position). b. So that they rotate anticlockwise. Set the summer/winter switch to the bottom position (summer position).

1. Turn on the fan by pulling the speed control's cord.

a. 1st positon: the fan operates at low speed

b. 2nd position: the fan operates at normal speed.

c. 3rd position: the fan operates at high speed.

1. Turn off the fan by pulling the speed control's cord again.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Allow the halogen lights to cool down before cleaning or carrying out maintenance on the fan.
• Clean the exterior of the ceiling fan with a damp cloth.
  • Dry the ceiling fan with a dry, soft cloth.

- Disconnect the fuse group concerned before cleaning the ceiling fan.

Make sure that the electrical connections do not become damp.

- Never use corrosive or scouring cleaning agents or sharp objects (such as knives or hard brushes) to clean the appliance.

After a while, dust can accumulate on the fan blades. Remove the dust with a hand brush and/or a vacuum cleaner.
