Frequently Asked Questions - Glen Alden 50180 HONEYWELL

What should I do if the fan does not move?

First, turn the power on or check the fuse. If still not working, turn off power, loosen the canopy, and check all wiring connections. Ensure the reverse switch is fully engaged (not in middle position). Also verify that the light kit connectors are properly connected.

How can I reduce fan noise?

Check and tighten all screws that hold the blades to the blade arms and the blade arms to the motor. Replace any cracked blades. Also ensure the mounting bracket is securely attached to the outlet box.

Why is my fan wobbling excessively?

Tighten all blade and blade arm screws. Try swapping a blade with one from the opposite side, or use a balancing kit. Also verify that the mounting bracket is flush and tight against the outlet box.

How do I clean the ceiling fan?

Use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to clean the motor housing and blades. Do not use water or damp cloth. You may apply a light coat of furniture polish to wood blades for added protection.

What is the correct way to use the reverse switch?

Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch. In summer, push the switch left for downward airflow (wind chill effect). In winter, push right and set fan to low for upward airflow to recirculate warm air from the ceiling.

Can I use a dimmer switch to control the fan speed?

No, do not use a solid-state speed control or full-range dimmer switch with this fan. Use only the pull chain or a fan-specific speed control approved for ceiling fans.

What is the minimum ceiling height required?

The fan blades must be at least 7 ft (2.14 m) above the floor. Additionally, allow at least 30 in (76 cm) clearance from the blade tips to any walls or obstructions.

What does the limited lifetime warranty cover?

The fan motor is warranted for life against defects in workmanship and material. All other parts (except glass and finishes) are warranted for one year from the original purchase date. Labor and installation costs are not covered.

How do I obtain replacement parts?

Call customer service at 1-877-361-3883, Monday-Thursday 8am-6pm EST, Friday 8am-5pm EST. Have your model number (50180) and proof of purchase ready. Replacement parts include blade arms (50180-A), blades (50180-B), and hardware kits (50180-C).

Is the fan compatible with a light kit?

Yes, the fan has a blue wire for separate light control. A light kit (sold separately) can be installed. Follow the wiring diagram: connect the blue wire to a second hot supply wire if available.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate, or install the product.

• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
• Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. (2,14 m) from the blades to the floor and at least 30 in. (76 cm) from the end of the blades to any obstruction.

! DANGER !

When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after installation is complete.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use the fan with any solid-state speed-control device or control the fan speed with a full-range dimmer switch.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades.

! WARNING !

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT" and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan at least 35 lbs. (15,88 kg).

! CAUTION !

Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.

! CAUTION !

Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.

MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION

WIRING

CAUTION

Be sure outlet box is properly grounded or that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.

WARNING

If house wires are different colors than referred to in the following step, stop immediately. A professional electrician is recommended to determine wiring. Incorrect wire connection can damage the receiver and could cause fire or injury.

1. Connect supply and fan wires according to the diagram (Fig. 7) and these steps:

2. Connect the Green wires from mounting bracket to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire.

3. Connect the Black and Blue wire from the fan to the Black (live) supply wire.
4. Connect the White wire from the fan to the White (neutral) supply wire.

Secure all wiring connections together with wire connectors and push all connected wires back into the outlet box.

1. (Optional) If a second hot power wire is available from outlet box, connect it to the blue (light power) wire from the fan for separate light and fan control (Fig. 8).

Important: The black fan wire is power for fan. The blue fan wire is power for the light. The white wire from the fan is common/neutral. The green wires from the fan and mounting bracket are ground wires.

Wire Connector

MOTOR HOUSING INSTALLATION

1. Remove the ten motor screws from the underside of the motor. Set aside for blade arm assembly (Fig. 9).

Motor Screw

1. Temporarily lift the motor housing to the mounting bracket to determine which two motor housing screws in the sides of the mounting bracket align with the slotted holes in the top edge of the motor housing. Partially loosen the two motor housing mounting screws that align with the slotted holes. Remove the other two motor housing mounting screws from opposite sides of the mounting bracket (Fig. 10).

Motor Housing Screw

Washer

1. Slide the motor housing over the motor, aligning the slotted holes in the motor housing with the two loosened motor housing mounting screws in the mounting bracket. Twist motor housing to lock.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Use the fan reverse switch, located on the side of the light kit, to optimize your fan for seasonal performance (Fig. 16).

Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat in the summer and lower your thermostat in the winter without sacrificing comfort.

Important: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either completely left or right in order for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate.

1. In warmer weather, push the reverse switch left, which will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect (Fig. 17).

Note: Energy savings are possible by turning on the ceiling fan and setting the thermostat a few degrees warmer. To maximize savings, turn ceiling fan off when no one is in the room.

1. In cooler weather, push the reverse switch right and the fan to low, which will result in upward airflow that can help move hot air off the ceiling area. By mixing the air, the heat may not have to run as often and may yield energy savings (Fig. 18).
