- Operation: Do not insert objects into the fan blades while the fan is operating. Keep children and pets away from the fan during operation.
- Cleaning: Use a dry microfibre cloth for cleaning. Do not use water or liquid cleaners directly on the fan to avoid electrical shock or damage.

4. Setup and Installation
Installation should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and proper functioning. Always ensure the power supply is disconnected before installation.
- Power Disconnection: Turn off the power to the fan's circuit at the main electrical panel before starting any work.
- Ceiling Mount: Securely attach the mounting bracket to a ceiling joist or a suitable electrical junction box rated for fan support.
- Wiring: Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the wiring diagram provided in the included manual leaflet. Ensure all connections are secure. It is crucial to disconnect any existing fan regulator from the electricity board; electricity should flow directly to the fan for optimal performance.
- Assembly: Assemble the downrod, motor, and blades as per the detailed instructions in the manual leaflet. When attaching blades, ensure screws are tightened with equal torque to prevent wobbling.
- False Ceiling Compatibility: This fan is designed for compatibility with false ceilings or low ceiling heights. An additional ceiling plate is provided alongside the canopy set. For full height installations, use both the bottom and top canopy. For low heights or false ceilings, use the top ceiling plate with the bottom canopy.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan does not turn on. | No power supply; remote batteries depleted; incorrect wiring. | Check circuit breaker. Replace remote batteries. Verify wiring connections (consult a professional). |
| Fan wobbles excessively. | Loose mounting screws; unbalanced blades; loose downrod. | Ensure all mounting and blade screws are tightened evenly. Check downrod security. If wobbling persists, professional inspection is recommended. |
| Remote not responding. | Remote batteries depleted; obstruction between remote and fan sensor. | Replace remote batteries. Ensure clear line of sight to the fan's sensor. |
| Fan makes unusual noise. | Loose components; motor issue. | Check for loose screws on blades, canopy, or mounting. If noise persists, contact customer support. Note: Boost mode may produce slightly more noise. |
