Setup and Installation

Important Safety Information: Before beginning installation, ensure the power supply to the ceiling fan location is disconnected at the circuit breaker. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about wiring procedures.

Components Checklist:

  • Motor housing assembly
  • Fan blades (3)
  • Blade brackets
  • Downrod and canopy assembly (for downrod mount)
  • Mounting bracket
  • Light kit assembly with flat opal glass
  • LED bulbs (2x60W Type A)
  • Hardware pack (screws, washers, wire nuts)

Mounting Options:

The Calibre III BN fan supports two mounting configurations:

  • Downrod Mount: For standard or angled ceilings, providing a total fan height of approximately 395mm (15.5 inches).
  • Flush Mount: For lower ceilings, providing a total fan height of approximately 295mm (11.6 inches).

General Installation Steps:

  1. Secure Mounting Bracket: Attach the mounting bracket to a ceiling joist or a fan-rated outlet box using appropriate hardware.
  2. Assemble Fan Motor: Depending on your chosen mounting method (downrod or flush), assemble the motor housing to the downrod or directly to the mounting bracket.
  3. Wire Connections: Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to local electrical codes. Ensure all connections are secure using wire nuts.
  4. Attach Blades: Securely attach the fan blades to the motor housing using the provided screws and blade brackets. Ensure blades are balanced.
  5. Install Light Kit: Connect the light kit wiring to the fan motor wiring and secure the light kit assembly to the bottom of the fan. Install the flat opal glass shade and the LED bulbs.
  6. Final Checks: Double-check all connections and ensure no wires are pinched. Restore power at the circuit breaker.

Operation

Your Calibre III BN ceiling fan is operated using two pull chains located on the light kit housing.

Fan Speed Control:

  • One pull chain controls the fan speed. Pulling the chain cycles through High, Medium, Low, and Off settings.
  • The fan offers three distinct speed settings for optimal airflow and comfort.

Light Control:

  • The second pull chain controls the integrated LED light. Pulling the chain will turn the light On or Off.

Reversible Blades:

The fan blades are reversible, featuring a white finish on one side and a silver finish on the other. To change the blade finish, remove the blades from the motor housing, flip them to the desired side, and reattach securely.

Seasonal Operation:

Ceiling fans can help reduce energy costs year-round. In warm weather, operate the fan in a counter-clockwise direction to create a cooling breeze. In cool weather, operate the fan in a clockwise direction at a low speed to circulate warm air near the ceiling without creating a draft.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.

Cleaning:

  • Always turn off the power to the fan at the circuit breaker before cleaning.
  • Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the motor housing and blades. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
  • Dust the blades regularly to prevent buildup, which can affect fan balance and performance.

Light Bulb Replacement:

  • Ensure the power is off before attempting to replace bulbs.
  • Carefully remove the flat opal glass shade.
  • Replace the existing bulbs with 2x60W Type A LED bulbs. Ensure the replacement bulbs are compatible with the fan's specifications.
  • Reattach the glass shade securely.

Blade Tightness:

Periodically check that all blade screws are tight. Over time, screws can loosen due to fan vibration, which may cause wobbling or noise.
