This new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply
line of 220-240 volts AC, 50 Hz, 10 Amp circuit. The
hanger bracket must be securely anchored and capable of
supporting a load of least 60kg. If your fan is to replace an
existing ceiling light fixture, turn electricity off at the main
fuse box at this time and remove the existing light fixture.
Figure 1 depicts a typical structural configuration that may
be used for securely mounting the fan.

WARNING
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned
off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must
be in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 “The Wiring Rules”
and the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock.

Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely
heavily on the proper installation and use of the ceiling
fan. Here are a few tips to ensure efficient product
performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location
Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle
of the room and at least 2.1 m above the floor and 50 cm
from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan
2.4-2.7 m above the floor for optimal airflow. Consult your
Fanimation Retailer for optional mounting accessories.
Turn Off When Not in the Room
Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If the room is
unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round
Summer Season:
Use the ceiling fan in the counter-
clockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling
fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you “feel” cooler.
Select a fan speed that provides a comfortable breeze,
lower speeds consume less energy.
Winter Season:
Reverse the motor and operate the ceiling
fan at low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces
a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling
down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your
air conditioner when using your ceiling fan-additional energy
and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!
