CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Danger of electric shock! Turn off the electricity at the fuse
box or circuit breaker before cleaning or servicing your fan.
- Never use water for cleaning your ceiling fan. The appliance must not get wet.
- Do not use petrol or any similar light flammable detergents!
- Clean the surface of the housing and the blades with a dry cleaning cloth.
Regular check
- Check twice a year all the screws, especially those of the ceiling suspension, for tight-
ness, retighten if necessary.
- Check electrical connections for proper connection.
- Greasing the bearings is not necessary, the bearings are permanently lubricated.
Remedy
- Check the fuses/trips at the main box and other connections.
- Check the fan connection to the mains.
- Repeat coding of the fan with the handheld transmitter.
- Replace the battery in the handheld transmitter if necessary.
- Check that all bolts and screws have been tightened.
- Run in the fan and the bearings for 24 hours. Most noises disap-
pear after this time.
- All blades have been weighed and grouped according to weight.
Their density can vary and therefore cause vibration even when all
blades are of the same weight. The following methods can contri-
bute to preventing most vibrations. Check the vibration before each
procedure. Please note that a small amount of vibration is normal
and does not pose a problem.
- Most vibrations occur when one of the blades is not in alignment
with the others. Aligning the blades is simply carried out with the aid
of a flat ruler. Place the ruler vertically upwards against the ceiling
and alongside the blade tip. Mark the distance between the blade
side and ceiling. Turn the blades slowly by hand and carry out the
same measurements with the other blades. If one of the blades is
not correctly aligned, it can be remedied by lightly pressing their hol-
ders upwards or downwards in order to align them with the others.
- Check that the hanger bracket is firmly anchored to the ceiling.
