General Information
Warranty
1. All electrical motors, including fan motors generate some noise, and may feel hot to the touch. This is
NOT a fault.
2. Ceiling fans tend to move during operaon due to the fact that they are not rigidly mounted. (Rigid
mounngs can generate excessive vibraon and stress on the mounngs).
Movement of a couple of cenmetres is quite OK and does not suggest that the fan will fall down. The
Aeratron fan is mounted securely on a metal Hanger Bracket with rubber cushioning and a ball joint to
allow free movement. Please note that due to manufacturing variaons not all Aeratron ceiling fans
are exactly the same - some may move more than others. Note: Excessive wobble can be caused by the
Drive Sha not being posioned vercally. This can be easily recfied by adjusng the posion of the
Fan Motor Assembly in the Hanger Bracket (see step 9 (D) page 9).
3. Ceiling fans are an environmentally smart choice to help cool you in your home. They work by creang
air flow which causes a cooling sensaon on the skin. Ceiling fans do not cool down air, so for energy
wise use, they should be switched off when leaving a room. The effecveness of ceiling fans is also
dependent on the humidity in the air - they are more effecve in humid environments, and less so in
dry ones.
4. During winter, a reverse (counter clockwise) turning fan helps to reduce heang costs. Warm air rises
to the ceiling, where it cannot be felt by the occupants of a room, especially in areas with high ceilings.
The fan assists to distribute warm air more evenly in the room allowing to set the thermostat several
degrees lower.
Normal Wear and Tear.
Threaded components working slightly loose or parts even slightly damaged or bent during vigorous cleaning
or bumping can cause wobble and noise. This is not covered under warranty, but care during maintenance and
cleaning should prevent this from occurring.
You must have the original purchase receipt or bill of sale to make a warranty claim. No claim will be
accepted unless proof of date of purchase is available at the me of making the warranty claim.
