4. Setup and Installation
Pre-Installation Checklist:

- Confirm that the electrical supply matches the fan's voltage requirements (230V AC, 50Hz).
- Gather necessary tools: screwdriver, pliers, wire stripper, ladder, voltage tester.
Installation Steps:
- Turn off Power: Before starting, ensure the power supply to the installation area is completely turned off at the main circuit breaker.
- Mount Hanging Bracket: Securely attach the hanging bracket to the ceiling joist or a suitable fan-rated electrical box.
- Assemble Down Rod: Insert the down rod through the canopy and then through the motor assembly. Secure it with the provided pin and cotter pin.
- Hang Fan: Carefully lift the fan assembly and hang it on the hanging bracket. Ensure the down rod ball is seated correctly in the bracket.
- Wire Connections: Connect the electrical wires (Live, Neutral, and Ground) from the ceiling to the fan's corresponding wires. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts.
- Attach Blades: Securely attach each of the three blades to the blade holders on the motor assembly using the provided screws. Ensure all screws are tightened.
- Position Canopies: Slide the top canopy up to the ceiling to cover the wiring and hanging bracket. Slide the bottom canopy down to meet the motor housing. Secure both canopies.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are checked, restore power at the main circuit breaker.

6. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient performance 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, as they may damage the finish. Ensure the fan is completely dry before operating.
- Blade Balance: If the fan wobbles, check that all blade screws are tight and that the blades are not bent or damaged. Minor wobbles can sometimes be corrected by balancing the blades using a balancing kit (not included).
- Motor Lubrication: The fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not require additional oiling.
- Screw Tightness: Annually check all screws on the fan assembly, including those on the hanging bracket, down rod, and blade attachments, to ensure they are tight.
