Angled Mount: For sloped or vaulted ceilings, an angled mounting method is necessary to ensure proper fan operation and clearance.
2. Wiring

3. Blade Attachment
Attach the three engineered wood blades to the blade irons, then secure the blade irons to the motor housing using the provided screws. Ensure all screws are tightened securely to prevent wobbling during operation.

2. Reversible Motor Function
The Almadale fan features a reversible motor for optimal comfort in both warm and cool seasons. A switch on the fan's motor housing allows you to change the direction of blade rotation.
- Summer Mode: Set the switch to allow blades to rotate counter-clockwise, creating a downward airflow that produces a cooling effect.
- Winter Mode: Set the switch to allow blades to rotate clockwise, creating an upward airflow that helps circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling.
Always turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop completely before changing the direction of the motor.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Check connections: Annually, check all screws and connections for tightness. Loose connections can cause noise or wobbling.
- No lubrication needed: The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require oiling.
