Step-by-Step Installation
- Turn Off Power: Before beginning, ensure power is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box to prevent electrical shock.
- Mounting Bracket Installation: Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling outlet box. Ensure the outlet box is securely fastened to the building structure and can support the fan's weight.
- Assemble Down Rod: Insert the down rod through the canopy and then through the fan motor assembly. Secure with the provided pin and screw.
- Hang Fan: Carefully lift the fan assembly and hang it from the mounting bracket using the hook provided on the down rod ball. This allows for hands-free wiring.
- Wiring Connections: Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to local electrical codes. Typically, this involves connecting black to black (hot), white to white (neutral), and green/bare copper to green/bare copper (ground). Use wire nuts to secure connections.
- Secure Canopy: Once wiring is complete, carefully push the canopy up to the ceiling and secure it to the mounting bracket with the screws.
- Attach Blades: Attach each fan blade to its blade bracket using the provided screws. Then, attach the blade assemblies to the motor housing. Ensure all screws are tightened securely. The blades are reversible, offering wengue or beech finishes.
- Install Light Kit: Connect the light kit wires to the corresponding wires from the fan motor. Secure the light kit to the bottom of the fan motor housing.
- Install Glass Shade and Bulbs: Insert the two candelabra-base 40-watt G16-1/2 light bulbs into the sockets. Carefully attach the opal frosted glass shade to the light kit.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
Operating Your Ceiling Fan
The Westinghouse Quince ceiling fan is operated using two pull chains.
Fan Speed Control
One pull chain controls the fan speeds. Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through the following settings:
- High Speed
- Medium Speed
- Low Speed
- Off
Light Control
The second pull chain controls the integrated light kit. Pull the chain once to turn the light on, and pull it again to turn the light off.
Reversible Function
A reversible switch on the motor housing allows you to change the direction of the fan blades for year-round use.
- Summer Operation: Set the switch to allow blades to rotate counter-clockwise, pushing air downwards to create a cooling effect.
- Winter Operation: Set the switch to allow blades to rotate clockwise, drawing air upwards to recirculate warm air from the ceiling and reduce cold spots.
Note: The fan must be off and completely stopped before changing the direction of rotation.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or blades.
- Blade Care: To prevent warping, ensure blades are not exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity.
- Light Bulb Replacement: When replacing bulbs, ensure the power is off. Use only candelabra-base 40-watt G16-1/2 bulbs or equivalent LED bulbs.
- Tighten Fasteners: Check all screws and fasteners annually to ensure they are secure.
Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan does not start | No power to the fan; loose wire connections; motor switch in off position. | Check circuit breaker/fuse. Ensure all wire connections are secure. Pull the fan speed chain to ensure it's not in the "off" position. |
| Fan wobbles | Loose blade screws; unbalanced blades; loose mounting bracket. | Tighten all blade screws. Check for bent blade holders. Use a blade balancing kit (not included) if necessary. Ensure the mounting bracket is securely fastened. |
| Light does not work | Loose bulb; faulty bulb; loose wire connection in light kit. | Ensure bulbs are screwed in tightly. Replace bulbs if necessary. Check light kit wiring connections. |
