SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions carefully, even if you feel you are quite familiar with this type of appliance.
When using electrical appliances, in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury,
these basic safety precautions should always be followed:
1. This appliance must be installed by a Qualified Electrical Contractor in accordance with the local
regulations, and all local, state and national electrical codes. Any alterations or additions to building
wiring must be completed by a licensed electrical mechanic, or person authorized by legislation to
work on the fixed wiring of any electrical installation.
2. The ceiling fan must be connected to a 220-240V AC 50-60Hz power supply.
3. All electrical work must only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by removing fuses or
turning off the circuit breaker, to ensure all pole isolation of the electrical supply.
4. The fan must be earthed.
5. The fan must be installed so that the blades are at least 2.3metres above the floor.
6. The structure that the ceiling fan is connected to must be capable of supporting a weight of at least
45kg. The fixing must be able to support the moving weight of the fan and must not twist or work
loose.
7. Make sure that the installation site will not allow the rotating fan blades to come into contact with
any object and that there is a minimum clearance of 150mm (6") from the blade tip to the wall or
ceiling. Please note that the bigger this clearance is the better the airflow from your fan will be.
8. Do not use outdoors. Installing the fan in a position where it could be exposed to water or moisture
is dangerous.
9. Do not connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may give an unsatisfactory performance
(motor hum) and cause damage to the motor.

Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appliance provided that
it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they have been given

appliance or perform user maintenance.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
11. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
12. It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances be operated in the same room at the
