Important Safety Information
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, always follow these basic precautions:

- Before installation or servicing, disconnect power by turning off the circuit breaker at the main fuse box.

- Mounting Bracket Installation: Secure the mounting bracket to a UL Listed outlet box capable of supporting a ceiling fan. Use hardware provided with the outlet box.

- Hanging the Fan: Carefully lift the fan assembly and hang it from the mounting bracket using the ball joint.
- Electrical Wiring: Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the wiring diagram provided in the separate wiring guide (not included in this general manual). Ensure all connections are secure with wire nuts.
- Canopy Installation: Slide the canopy up to the ceiling and secure it to the mounting bracket, covering the wiring connections.
- Blade Attachment: Attach each fan blade to its respective blade bracket using the provided screws. Then, attach the blade assemblies to the fan motor housing. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
- Light Kit Installation: Connect the light kit wires to the fan motor housing wires. Secure the light kit assembly to the bottom of the fan motor housing. Install the three seeded glass shades.
- Bulb Installation: Install three 9W non-dimmable medium-base LED bulbs (not included) into the light kit sockets.
Operating Instructions
Your Quorum International Breeze ceiling fan is controlled by two pull chains and features a manual reverse switch.
- Fan Speed Control: The fan speed is controlled by one of the pull chains. Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through speeds: High, Medium, Low, Off.
- Light Control: The light kit is controlled by the other pull chain. Pull the chain to turn the lights On or Off.
- Reverse Airflow (Seasonal Operation):
- Locate the manual reverse switch on the fan motor housing (usually near the light kit).
- To change the direction of airflow, ensure the fan is completely OFF.
- Slide the reverse switch to the opposite position.
- Summer Operation: Blades rotate counter-clockwise, creating a downward breeze for a cooling effect.
- Winter Operation: Blades rotate clockwise, creating an upward draft to circulate warm air from the ceiling.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
- Blade Cleaning: Wipe fan blades with a soft cloth to remove dust.
- Tightening Screws: Check all screws, especially those on the blade attachments and mounting bracket, at least twice a year. Tighten any loose screws to prevent wobbling and noise.
- Light Bulb Replacement: Ensure power is off before replacing light bulbs. Use only recommended bulb types (3 x 9W non-dimmable medium-base LED bulbs).
- No Lubrication Required: The fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not require oiling.
