F3010 Ceiling Fan Installation and Operation Manual
This document provides detailed instructions for the installation and operation of the Parrot uncle F3010 ceiling fan.
Safety Information
[warning-icon] WARNING: SHUT POWER OFF AT FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER
1. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off electricity at the protective switch or safety box before starting.
2. All wiring must comply with local and national electrical codes (e.g., NASI/NFPA 70-1999). Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified and approved electrician.
3. The connection box and support structure must be safely assembled and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds (15.9 kg). Use only outlet boxes listed with appropriate labeling, accepted for fans weighing 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less.
4. Install the fan with a minimum clearance of 2.1 meters (7 feet) from the floor to the trailing edge of the blades. Ensure at least 30 cm (1 foot) space between the fan blades and any wall or obstacle to prevent collision. Greater distance generally leads to more efficient airflow.
Diagram illustrates required clearances: a minimum of 2.1 meters (7 feet) from the floor to the blade's trailing edge, and at least 30 cm (1 foot) between the fan blades and any wall or obstacle. The closer the distance, the less efficient the airflow.
[warning-icon] WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, blade brackets cannot be folded during installation or after installation. Do not place any object in the path of the blades.
[warning-icon] WARNING: Remove rubber motor attacks at the bottom of the fan before mounting the blades or trying the motor.
[warning-icon] WARNING: To avoid the risk of fire or electrical shock, this fan should not be used with a semiconductor speed controller.
[warning-icon] WARNING: To avoid possible electric shock, turn off the current in the main security box before wiring. If you lack sufficient knowledge or experience in electrical wiring, consult a licensed electrician.
[warning-icon] WARNING: Electrical diagrams serve only as a reference. Lighting kits must be listed and marked for use with this fan.
[warning-icon] WARNING: To reduce the risk of fires, electrical discharges, or injuries, assemble the device in a socket marked as accepted for fans weighing 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less, using the provided screws.
5. Do not operate the reverse switch while the fan blades are moving. Turn off the fan and stop the blades before reversing direction.
6. Do not place objects in the path of the blades.
7. To avoid injury or damage to the fan and other objects, exercise caution when working on or cleaning the fan.
8. Lighting kits not supplied with the fan must be listed and marked for use with this fan model. Switches must be general use UL listed switches. Follow instructions included with the lighting kits and switches.
9. After electrical connections are made, carefully push excess wire into the outlet box. Ensure the ground wire and device head are positioned next to the socket.
All fixing screws must be verified before installation and tightened if necessary.

Installation Instructions
Step 1: Mounting Plate Removal
Diagram shows removing screws from the mounting plate.
- 100% (completely) remove 2 screws from the mounting plate for later use.
- 70% remove 2 screws from the mounting plate.
- And then take down the mounting plate.
Step 2: Securing Mounting Plate
[warning-icon] Warning: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury.
For safety and best operating results, it is recommended to have a qualified electrician install this fan.
Diagram illustrates securing the mounting plate to the outlet box using mounting screws and washers. It also depicts the fan's connection to the ceiling joist or structure, ensuring adequate screw threading. A note indicates feeding house wires through the mounting plate for easier wiring.
- Secure mounting plate to outlet box by tightening mounting screws & washers.
- The ceiling fan must be installed in a location with a minimum of 300mm spacing from the tip of the blade to the nearest objects or walls. Secure the mounting plate to the ceiling joist or structure that is capable of carrying a load of at least 15.9 kgs, with two long screws provided.
- Ensure at least 30mm of the screws is threaded into the support.
- Note: For ease of wiring, feed house wires through the mounting plate.
Step 3: Connecting Wiring and Hanging Motor
Diagram shows the fan-motor assembly being hung onto the mounting plate hook. It also illustrates power source connection (AC 110-120V 60Hz 3.5AMPS) with wire connections (Black, White, Ground wire) using plastic wire nuts.
Use plastic wire nuts supplied with the fan.
Hang the hole of the motor cover into the hook of the mounting plate.
[warning-icon] WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
Make the wire connection between the Fan and power supply. Make sure all connections are secured.
Step 4: Attaching Fan to Mounting Plate
Diagram shows the complete fan unit being attached to the mounting plate with four screws.
- Install whole fan to mounting plate with 4 screws.
Remote Control Operation
General Information
1. Installing Receiver in Ceiling Fan
A. Safety precautions:
[warning-icon] WARNING: HIGH VOLTAGE! Disconnect power by removing fuse or switching off circuit breaker.
Electrical wire must meet all local and national electrical code requirements.
B. Electrical rating: 110/120V 50/60Hz. Otherwise, power can cause serious injury or death.
2. Operating Transmitter
A. Install CR2032 3 volt battery. (To prevent damage to transmitter, remove the battery if not used for a long time).
B. Store the transmitter away from excessive heat or humidity.
C. Operating the buttons on the panel of the transmitter:
- LED Indicator
- FAN ON/OFF & Pairing: Press to turn Fan ON/OFF. Within 5 seconds after power on, hold press 3 seconds to match code.
- Fan Speed: 1 to 6 levels (use [speed-up-icon] and [speed-down-icon] icons).
- Forward and Reverse: Press to change Forward/Reverse. Within 5 seconds after power on, hold press 3 seconds to clear code.
- Light Switch & CCT Setting: Press to turn light ON/OFF. Hold press 2 seconds to change CCT.
- Light brightness: Use [brightness-up-icon] and [brightness-down-icon] icons.
- Timer Settings:
- Press once: fan auto off after 1hr
- Press twice: fan auto off after 2hr
- Press 3 times: fan auto off after 4hr

After Installation
Wobble
The fan blades have been adjusted in the factory to minimize any wobble.
NOTE: CEILING FANS TEND TO MOVE DURING OPERATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE MOUNTED ON A RUBBER GROMMET. IF THE FAN WAS MOUNTED RIGIDLY TO THE CEILING, IT WOULD CAUSE EXCESS VIBRATION. MOVEMENT OF A FEW CENTIMETERS IS QUITE ACCEPTABLE AND DOES NOT SUGGEST ANY PROBLEM.
To Reduce Fan Wobble: PLEASE CHECK THAT ALL SCREWS WHICH SECURED THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND DOWNROD ARE SECURE.
Balancing a Wobbling Ceiling Fan:
- Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
- Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8" (0.32cm).
- If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
[warning-icon] WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.
Noise
When it is quiet (especially at night), you may hear occasional small noises. This is normal. Please allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period; most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
Care and Cleaning
1. Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the paint finish. Please make sure to turn off electricity power before you clean your fan.
2. Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
3. The motor has permanently lubricated ball bearing. No need to oil.
NOTE: MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY CLEANING OR REPAIRS.
