SETUP GUIDE
- Turn Off Power: For safety, make sure the circuit breaker or power switch is off before installing.
- Select the Correct Socket: Look for an E26 or E27 bulb socket, which are frequently found in ceiling fittings, to install.
- Existing Bulb Removal: If necessary, carefully detach the old bulb from the socket.
- Install Socket Extender (If Needed): To guarantee clearance for deep or recessed sockets, use the extender that comes with the set.
- Fan Blade Attachment: As directed by the handbook, attach the fan blades to the fan body by screwing or clipping them if they are not already constructed.
- Screw in the Unit: Just like with a standard lightbulb, carefully screw the fan-light combination into the socket.
- Turn On the Switch: To supply electricity to the device, turn the switch or circuit breaker back on.
- Place Remote Batteries: Put the batteries (usually two AAA) into the remote control; they are not supplied.
- Test Light Function: Turn the light on and off and change the color temperature using the remote control.
- Adjust Brightness: To get the brightness level you want, use the dimming buttons on the remote.
- Turn on the Fan: To verify airflow strength and seamless operation, choose a fan speed from the six available options.
- Set a Timer: Test and turn on the auto shutoff by pressing the 1H/2H/4H buttons on the remote.
- Try Memory Function: To make sure the device remembers your most recent settings, turn it off and back on.
- Verify Blade Clearance: Make that the blades spin freely and avoid colliding with the edges of the fixtures or the ceiling.
- Final Safety Check: Verify that all components are in place and that the fan runs steadily and silently.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
- Turn Off Power First: Before performing any repair or cleaning, always turn off the equipment and allow it to cool.
- Dust Frequently: Dust the blades and light cover with a microfiber cloth or soft duster.
- Prevent Water Exposure: Avoid putting damp towels or sprays directly on the fan as this could harm internal parts.
- Clean Remote Control: To get rid of fingerprints and smudges, wipe the remote with a dry cloth.
- Verify Blade Stability: Make sure all blades are firmly fastened and in good condition on a regular basis.
- Tighten Connections: Retighten the fan in the socket or the blade attachments if you hear any noise or vibration.
- Use in Dry Places: If the space isn’t adequately aired, don’t install it immediately over a shower or in an extremely humid region.
- Replace Remote Batteries: Change the batteries in the remote as soon as it stops working.
- Examine Timer Settings: Make sure the timer functionality is still working properly by testing it occasionally.
- Check for Obstructions: To avoid anything getting in the way of the spinning blades, keep the surrounding regions free.
- Avoid Overloading the Socket: Make sure the fixture’s overall wattage stays within the socket’s bounds.
- Avoid Abrasives: Abrasives should never be used on light domes or blade surfaces because they might cause scratches or damage.
- Test the Memory Function: Make sure your preferred settings are still being stored by periodically testing the memory recall.
- Store Remote Properly: To prevent loss or damage, keep the remote in a consistent place.
- Annual Deep Clean: To maintain ideal airflow, take off the fan blades (if they are removable) once a year for a comprehensive cleaning.
