Safety Information
Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before installing, cleaning, or servicing the fan. Ensure all electrical connections comply with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about wiring procedures. Keep hands and objects clear of fan blades during operation.
- For optimum performance and safety, ceiling fan blades should be at least 7 feet from the floor but no higher than 8 to 9 feet.
- For ceilings 9 feet and higher, an extension down rod is required to bring the ceiling fan down to the proper height.
- Ensure the mounting structure can support the weight of the fan.
Setup and Installation
Ceiling Fan Installation (Model 7233600)
Installation of the Westinghouse Comet Indoor Ceiling Fan requires basic electrical knowledge. It is recommended to have a qualified electrician perform the installation if you are not comfortable with electrical wiring.
- Prepare the Mounting Location: Ensure the ceiling outlet box is securely mounted and capable of supporting the fan's weight.
- Assemble the Fan: Attach the fan blades to the motor housing. The blades are reversible, offering white and white washed pine finishes. Choose your desired finish before assembly.
- Wire the Fan: Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the provided wiring diagram (not included in this general manual, refer to product-specific instructions). Ensure proper grounding.
- Mount the Fan: Secure the fan assembly to the ceiling mounting bracket.
- Install the Light Kit: Attach the integrated LED light kit to the fan housing.
Down Rod Installation (Model 7725400)
The 24-inch extension down rod is used to adjust the fan's height for optimal air circulation in rooms with high ceilings. It features tapered threaded ends for a secure connection.
- Determine Down Rod Need: If your ceiling is 9 feet or higher, an extension down rod is recommended to position the fan blades between 7 and 9 feet from the floor.
- Select Correct ID: Ensure the down rod's internal diameter (ID) matches your ceiling fan's requirement. The Model 7725400 has a 3/4-inch ID.
- Attach Down Rod: Securely attach the down rod to the fan's motor housing and then to the ceiling mounting bracket. Follow the specific instructions provided with your fan for down rod integration.
