General Maintenance
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.
* Before maintenance ensure fan is switched off at the isolation switch or circuit breaker *
Cleaning the Motor Housings:
-
Motor housings should be cleaned every 3 to 4 months to
avoid build up of dust. Use a soft, damp 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. 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)
Some colour discoloration on ABS polymer body and blade will occur over time.
1.
Do not
attempt to operate the fan or light (if fitted) with any wall control that is not approved by
Hunter Pacific for use with its fans. DO NOT use solid state controllers. The use of unapproved
controllers may void your warranty.
2.
Do not
mix blade sets from one fan to another as this may upset the balance of the fan. If only
one blade is damaged you are still required to replace with a new set.
