1. All electrical motors, including fan motors make some noise, and may feel hot to the touch. This is NOT a fault.

2. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not rigidly mounted. (Rigid mountings can

generate excessive vibration and stress on the mountings). Movement of a couple of centimetres is quite OK and does

not suggest that the fan will fall down. The fan is mounted securely on a metal Hanger Bracket with rubber cushioning

and a ball joint to allow free movement. Please note that due to manufacturing variations not all ceiling fans are exactly

the same some may move more than others.

3. Ceiling fans are an environmentally smart choice to help cool you in your home. They work by creating air flow

which causes a cooling sensation on the skin. The faster the speed of the air flow, the greater the cooling sensation.

Ceiling fans do not work by cooling the room, so they should be switched off when there is no one in the room, to save

energy. The effectiveness of ceiling fans is also dependent on the humidity in the air they are more effective in humid

environments, and less so in dry ones.

4. During winter, a reverse turning fan helps to reduce heating costs. Warm air rises to the ceiling, where it cannot

be felt by the occupants of a room, especially in areas with high ceilings. The fan helps to keep warm air away from the

ceiling, and mixes it with the air below.

* Before maintenance ensure fan is switched off at the isolation switch or circuit breaker *

Changing Remote Batteries

Batteries used in Handsets will weaken over time and should be replaced every 6 months. Batteries removed from the

handset should be disposed of properly and kept out of reach of children.

Cleaning the Motor Housing

Motor housings should be cleaned every 3 to 4 months to avoid build up of dust. Dust will attract moisture and

condensation leading to corrosion. Use a soft, damp (not wet) cloth to remove dust. Use only water and mild detergent.

Spray cleaners may damage coatings.

Cleaning the Blades

Use a soft damp cloth to remove dirt from blades. Always dry blades after cleaning. Blades should not be left damp or

wet as this will damage blade finish or cause corrosion. Use only water and mild detergent. Spray cleaners may damage

coatings. Always use soft cloths to clean blades and motor housings to avoid scratching painted and plated finishes.

Ideally your fan should be cleaned every 3 to 4 months.

If removing blades for cleaning then do so for each fan separately, do not mix blades from different fans as this can

upset the balance of the fan. Put blades back in the position they came from.

Normal Wear and Tear

Please note that a ceiling fan travels an enormous distance in the course of its normal operation. Air is abrasive and

suspended dust, high humidity and other contamination will cause wear and tear of surfaces.

The use of fans under roofed decks and pergolas next to swimming pools and in coastal areas will require increased

maintenance due to the presence of chlorides (either as common air borne salt spray or from compounds in pool

chemicals)

The temperatures attained in the peak of a pitched deck or veranda roof can easily exceed 60-70°C and especially when

coupled with chlorides this will increase maintenance requirements. Even indoors in coastal areas the influx of warm,

sea air can accelerate the surface corrosion of metal parts. This can still happen many kilometres from the sea.

When humidity is high and temperature drops moisture condenses on metal surfaces including ceiling fans. The layer of

moisture can be almost microscopic but it will affect the surface by depositing a tiny layer of dissolved salts or airborne

acidic compounds and thus eventually leading to corrosion if the product is not properly and regularly cleaned. This

applies equally to indoor and outdoor fans.
