Setup and Installation
Before proceeding, ensure power to the ceiling fan is turned off at the circuit breaker.
- Prepare the Fan: If your ceiling fan has a removable bottom cap or plug where a light kit would attach, remove it. Locate the electrical wires for the light kit, typically a white (neutral), black (hot), and green (ground) wire.
- Connect Wiring: Connect the white wire from the light kit to the white wire from the fan using a wire nut. Connect the black wire from the light kit to the black or blue (hot) wire from the fan. Connect the green (ground) wire from the light kit to the green or bare copper (ground) wire from the fan. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Attach Light Kit: Carefully tuck the connected wires into the fan's switch housing. Align the light kit assembly with the mounting holes on the bottom of the fan. Secure the light kit to the fan using the provided screws. Do not overtighten.
- Install Glass Shades: Carefully attach the three glass shades to the light kit assembly according to the fan's design. Typically, these twist or clip into place.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.
No product images or videos are available for embedding to illustrate the installation steps. Refer to the diagrams in the physical manual if available.
Operating Instructions
This Craftmade F300-ABZ-LED light kit is designed to be controlled by the ceiling fan's existing light switch or remote control system, if applicable. The light kit features LED bulbs and is dimmable when used with a compatible LED dimmer switch or fan remote system.
- Turning On/Off: Use the wall switch or the light button on your fan's remote control to turn the light kit on or off.
- Dimming (if applicable): If your fan system or wall switch supports dimming for LED lights, press and hold the light button on your remote or adjust the dimmer switch to change the light intensity.
No product videos are available for embedding to demonstrate operation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your light kit.
- Cleaning: To clean the light kit, ensure power is off. Wipe the metal parts with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Clean glass shades with a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
- Bulb Replacement: This light kit uses integrated LED lighting. The LEDs are designed for long life and are generally not user-replaceable. If the LEDs fail, contact Craftmade customer service for assistance.
- Tightening: Periodically check all screws and connections for tightness. Do not overtighten.
