Official installation video for the CREATE WINDCALM Ceiling Fan. This video demonstrates the complete assembly and wiring process.

Step 1: Mounting Bracket Installation

The mounting bracket must be securely attached to the ceiling. The method varies based on your ceiling type:

For Wooden Ceilings:

  1. Position the mounting bracket on the ceiling where you intend to install the fan.
  2. Mark the drilling points through the holes in the bracket.
  3. Drill pilot holes (6mm diameter) at the marked points.
  4. Secure the mounting bracket using the provided wood screws. Ensure the wires pass through the center opening.

For Concrete Ceilings:

  1. Position the mounting bracket on the ceiling.
  2. Mark the drilling points.
  3. Drill holes (8mm diameter) at the marked points.
  4. Insert the expansion bolts into the drilled holes.
  5. Secure the mounting bracket with the expansion bolts. Ensure the wires pass through the center opening.

For False Ceilings:

  1. Position the mounting bracket on the ceiling.
  2. Mark the drilling points.
  3. Drill holes at the marked points.
  4. Insert the toggle bolts (not included, purchase separately if needed) through the holes in the bracket and into the ceiling.
  5. Tighten the toggle bolts to secure the mounting bracket. Ensure the wires pass through the center opening.

Step 2: Driver and Electrical Connection

Connect the fan's electrical components to your home's wiring. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

  1. Connect the neutral (N) wire from your home to the neutral (N) wire of the driver.
  2. Connect the live (L) wire from your home to the live (L) wire of the driver.
  3. If your electrical installation lacks an earth connection, connect the earth cable from the support to the earth cables of the driver and motor.
  4. Connect the motor wires to the driver wires according to the color coding (e.g., blue to blue, brown to brown).
  5. Ensure all connections are tight and no wires are pinched.

Step 3: Anchoring the Motor to the Ceiling

Carefully lift the fan motor and attach it to the installed mounting bracket.

  1. Align the motor housing with the mounting bracket.
  2. Secure the motor housing to the bracket using the designated screws. Ensure all wires are tucked neatly inside the housing and not pinched.

Step 4: Assembling Fan Blades

Attach the wooden fan blades to the motor. Do not overtighten the screws to allow for proper alignment.

  1. Carefully align each fan blade with the corresponding mounting points on the motor.
  2. Insert the screws and tighten them securely, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the blades.

Step 5: Placing the Decorative Element

Install the decorative element that covers the blade attachment points.

  1. Position the decorative element over the center of the fan, covering the blade screws.
  2. Secure it with the small screws provided.

Step 6: LED Kit Connection (Optional) / Cover Mounting

If your fan includes an LED light kit, follow these steps. If not, proceed to mount the bottom cover.

For Models with LED Light Kit:

  1. Connect the LED plate wires to the corresponding wires from the fan motor.
  2. Secure the LED plate to the motor using the provided screws.

For Models without LED Light Kit:

  1. Attach the decorative bottom cover to the motor housing, ensuring it is securely fastened.

Step 7: Lampshade Placement (for models with light)

Carefully attach the glass lampshade to the fan.

  1. Align the lampshade with the fan's light fixture.
  2. Twist or push the lampshade into place until it is securely seated.
