4. Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended for electrical components. Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before proceeding.
4.1 Mounting the Fan
- Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling junction box. The junction box must be securely fastened to the building structure and capable of supporting the fan's weight.
- Attach the downrod to the fan motor assembly.
- Carefully lift the fan assembly and hang it from the mounting bracket.
Dual Mount Option: This fan supports both flat and angled ceilings up to 23 degrees. For slopes greater than 23 degrees, a Craftmade #SMA180XXX slope adapter (sold separately) is required.
4.2 Electrical Wiring
- Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the wiring diagram provided in the separate wiring instructions sheet. Match colors (e.g., black to black, white to white, ground to ground).
- Ensure all wire connections are secure using the provided wire nuts.
- Tuck all wires neatly into the junction box.
4.3 Attaching the Blades
- Attach each fan blade to the motor housing using the screws and washers from the hardware pack.
- Ensure all screws are tightened securely to prevent wobbling during operation.
5. Operating Instructions
The Craftmade INS62FB3 fan is operated using the included hard-wired wall control.
5.1 Wall Control Functions
- Power Button: Turns the fan ON or OFF.
- Speed Control: Adjusts the fan speed through 4 available settings (Low, Medium-Low, Medium-High, High).
- Reverse Switch: Changes the direction of blade rotation. This function is typically used to create a downdraft (cooling effect) in warmer months and an updraft (to circulate warm air) in cooler months.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Tightening Screws: Check all screws, especially those on the fan blades and mounting bracket, at least twice a year. Tighten any loose screws to prevent wobbling and noise.
- Motor Lubrication: The fan motor is permanently lubricated and does not require additional oiling.
