Setup and Installation
The Canarm Eclipse CF42ECL5BK ceiling fan is equipped with a dual-mount system, allowing for installation with a downrod or as a flush-mount unit, depending on your ceiling height and preference. The fan requires a hardwired electrical connection. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.
Key Installation Considerations:
- Mounting Options: Choose between downrod mounting (resulting in approximately 17 inches height from ceiling) or flush mounting (approximately 13 inches height from ceiling) based on your room's ceiling height.
- Electrical Connection: Ensure the power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning any wiring. The fan operates on 120 Volts AC.
- Light Kit: The fan includes a light kit with two 9.5W LED bulbs. Install these bulbs into the light fixture as per the detailed instructions provided in the separate installation guide.

Operating Instructions
The Canarm Eclipse CF42ECL5BK ceiling fan is operated using traditional pull chains for both fan speed and light control.

- Fan Speed Control: Locate the pull chain designated for fan speed. Each pull will cycle through the available speed settings (High, Medium, Low) and Off. The fan has 3 power levels.
- Light Control: Locate the pull chain designated for the light. Each pull will turn the light On or Off. The included 9.5W LED bulbs are non-dimmable.
- Airflow Direction: For optimal comfort, adjust the fan's direction switch (typically located on the motor housing) for seasonal use. Downward airflow creates a cooling effect in summer, while upward airflow helps circulate warm air in winter.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Glass Shade: The flat opal glass shade can be removed and cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
- Tightness: Check all screws and fasteners on the fan and mounting hardware periodically to ensure they are secure. Loose connections can cause wobbling or noise.
- Bulb Replacement: When replacing LED bulbs, ensure the power is off. Use only 9.5W LED bulbs as specified.
Always turn off the power to the fan at the circuit breaker before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your ceiling fan, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Fan Does Not Start:
- Check that the power supply to the fan is on at the circuit breaker.
- Ensure all electrical connections are secure.
- Verify the pull chain is fully engaged to an "On" position.
- Light Does Not Work:
- Confirm the light pull chain is in the "On" position.
- Check if the LED bulbs are securely screwed in.
- Replace bulbs if necessary (ensure power is off).
- Fan Wobbles:
- Ensure all blade screws are tightened.
- Check that the mounting bracket and downrod are securely fastened to the ceiling junction box.
- Verify that the blades are balanced. A balancing kit (often sold separately) can correct minor wobbles.
- Excessive Noise:
- Ensure all screws are tight.
- Check for any loose components within the motor housing or light kit.
- Verify that the fan is not touching any part of the ceiling or other objects.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
