This document is a user manual for the CREATE WIND TUBE ceiling fan, which features a summer-winter function. It provides detailed instructions for installation, operation, and safety in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Dutch, and Polish.
Function Description
The CREATE WIND TUBE ceiling fan is designed to provide air circulation in both summer and winter. Its primary function is to move air to create a comfortable environment. The fan includes a remote control for convenient operation, allowing users to adjust fan intensity and set a timer. The summer-winter function suggests that the fan blades can rotate in different directions to either create a cooling breeze or circulate warm air downwards.
Important Technical Specifications
The manual does not explicitly list all technical specifications in a dedicated section, but some details can be inferred from the installation and connection instructions:
- Power Supply: The fan operates on electrical power, requiring connection to an outlet box. Users are instructed to disconnect power at circuit breakers before installation.
- Remote Control: The fan is operated via a remote control that requires 2xAAA batteries. The remote allows for ON/OFF control, fan intensity adjustment (likely multiple speed settings), and timer settings (1h, 2h, 4h, 8h).
- Motor Type: The wiring diagram indicates a "DC motor," suggesting an energy-efficient direct current motor.
- Blade Clearance: A minimum clearance of 2.3 meters from the blades to the ground and 76 cm from any wall or obstruction is required for safe operation.
- Mounting: The fan must be securely attached to the supporting structure of the building, capable of reliably supporting at least the weight of the fan. Mounting brackets are provided for both wood and concrete ceilings, with specific instructions for each. For concrete ceilings, an 8mm drill is required for expansion bolts.
- Wiring: All wiring must comply with national and local electrical codes and ANSI / NFPA 70. The remote control receiver connects to the fan motor wires following color indications (Ground: green/yellow, Input L: black, DC motor L: grey, CC motor L: pink, CC motor L: red, Input N: white).
- Material: The fan includes a decorative screen, suspension bracket, blades, and a motor. Expansion bolts are provided for installation.
Usage Features
The CREATE WIND TUBE ceiling fan offers several user-friendly features:
- Remote Control Operation: The included remote control simplifies fan operation, allowing users to:
- Turn the fan ON/OFF.
- Adjust fan intensity (likely multiple speed settings, though specific levels are not detailed on the remote image beyond a general intensity control).
- Set a timer for 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours, which is useful for energy saving or nighttime operation.
- Summer-Winter Function: While not explicitly detailed in the English text, the cover page highlights "CEILING FAN SUMMER-WINTER FUNCTION," indicating that the fan can be set to operate in different modes to optimize air circulation for varying seasonal needs. This typically involves changing the direction of blade rotation.
- Decorative Design: The fan includes a "Decorative screen" and "Decorative cap," suggesting an aesthetic design intended to complement interior spaces.
Maintenance Features
The manual provides general guidelines for maintenance, emphasizing safety:
- Cleaning: Cleaning and maintenance of the appliance should not be carried out by children unless they are over 8 years of age and supervised. This implies that routine cleaning (e.g., dusting blades) is expected.
- Blade Care: To reduce the risk of personal injury, users are advised not to bend the blade support system when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan. Foreign objects should never be inserted between rotating fan blades.
- Original Parts: Only original spare parts should be used for maintenance and repairs.
- Electrical Safety: Before any maintenance or installation, power must be disconnected by turning off circuit breakers at the outlet box and associated wall switch. If circuit breakers cannot be locked in the off position, a prominent warning device (e.g., a tag) should be securely attached to the service panel.
- Professional Assistance: If users are unfamiliar with electrical wiring, they should contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
The manual also includes important environmental information regarding waste disposal, indicating that the product should be collected separately at the end of its useful life and not disposed of with general household waste. This aligns with directives 2012/19/EU and 2015/863/EU concerning hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and their waste disposal.
