Frequently Asked Questions - 72249 WESTINGHOUSE

What to do if the fan does not start?

Check the fuses or circuit breaker. Ensure the forward/reverse switch is not in the middle position. If the problem persists, turn off the power and check the electrical connections at the connection block. Call a qualified electrician if necessary.

The fan is noisy, what to do?

Make sure all screws on the motor and blade holders are tightened (not over-tightened). Avoid using a solid-state speed controller (use only the remote control or BF-5 control). Allow a 24-hour break-in period: most noises disappear after that time.

The fan wobbles, how to solve this problem?

Check that the blade holders are securely fastened to the motor and that the canopy and mounting bracket are firmly attached to the ceiling joist. If wobbling persists, swap two adjacent blades to redistribute weight. Also ensure the ball of the hanging bracket is properly locked.

What is the minimum installation height?

The distance between the blades and the floor must be at least 3.05 meters to ensure safety.

Can I use a standard speed controller with this fan?

No, use of a solid-state speed controller is prohibited. You must use only the included remote control or the reference speed control BF-5 (spare part).

How to clean the fan?

Use a soft bristle brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratches. Never use water as it could damage the motor or cause electric shock. The finish is varnished to minimize discoloration.

How to pair the remote control with the fan?

The transmitter and receiver are pre-paired at the factory. If needed, you can re-pair them: within 5 seconds after powering on the fan, simultaneously press the timer and power buttons on the transmitter. The fan will emit a double beep to confirm.

How many speeds does this fan have?

The remote control offers 6 speeds: from slowest to fastest (1 to 6).

Can I reverse the fan's rotation direction?

Yes, the fan is equipped with a forward/reverse switch. Place it in the up position for one direction (summer, downward airflow) or in the down position for the other direction (winter, recirculating warm air). Do not leave the switch in the middle position.

What to do if the remote control stops working?

Check the transmitter batteries. Ensure the fan's power is turned off and then on to reset the receiver. If necessary, redo the pairing procedure described in the manual. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician.

GB Remote Control Operation

1. Symbol from the transmitter- press and release reflects the fan ON/OFF function.
2. The transmitter controls the fan speeds from the lowest speed to the highest speed. The remote control operates the fan speed as below: 1-lowest fan speed, 2-Med low fan speed, 3-Low fan speed; 4-Med fan speed; 5-Med high fan speed; 6-Highest fan speed.
3. Ⓧ Operation duration time (1-8 hours setting).

GB Controlling more that one fan with remote control

1. The remote control has no memory function. When the fan is working after disconnecting the power supply, the original state cannot be restored.

2. The transmitter and receiver are matched at the factory. Please follow the point 4 for re-match when the match is failed.

3. With the matching process can be done by fan without the blades, the same transmitter can control another identical model ceiling fan.

4. When the transmitter and receiver are matched, the time key and the power on key on the transmitter panel must be pressed simultaneously within 5 seconds after the power button is connected.

5. The ceiling fan will make a buzzing sound twice. After it receives this, the fan has recognized the remote control and you can:

- Control this fan with the remote control.

- Re-match two ceiling fans with one remote control transmitter with the same process.

NOTE: To control two fans simultaneously, the installation distance between the two fans must not exceed 30 feet.

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.
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause electrical shock.
3. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer coating to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
5. Maintain the fan by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance in accordance.
6. Maintain your fan. It is recommended that the general condition of any fan be examined before it is used. Keep your fan in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service personnel.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this Trouble Shooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, please consult with your authorized electrician and do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

TROUBLE

1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Check terminal block connections as performed in step #8 of installation.
   CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.

4. If the fan still will not start, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to troubleshoot internal electrical connections yourself.

5. If fan sounds noisy:

6. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).

7. Check to make sure the screws, which attach the fan blade holder to the motor, are tight.
8. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.

9. Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.

10. If fan wobbles:

All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density, which could cause the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight-matched. The following procedures should eliminate most of the wobble. Check for wobble after each step.
1. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
2. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to a fan rated electrical box or a ceiling joist.
3. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling joist.
4. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
5. Be sure ball to hanger bracket is locked in place. Remove canopy and adjust ball in hanger bracket.
