Overview

This document is an owner's manual for the Emerson Veranda 52" Ceiling Fan, designed for wet locations. It provides comprehensive instructions for assembly, installation, operation, and maintenance, along with important safety warnings and warranty information.

Function Description:

The Emerson Veranda 52" Ceiling Fan is a residential ceiling fan designed to circulate air in both indoor and outdoor wet locations such as porches, patios, and decks. It features a 52-inch blade span and is suitable for use with light kits specifically marked for wet locations. The fan operates with a 3-speed pull chain switch and includes a reversible switch to change the direction of airflow, allowing for year-round use to optimize comfort and energy efficiency. In summer, the fan operates in a counter-clockwise direction to create a wind-chill effect, making the room feel cooler. In winter, it operates in a clockwise direction at a low speed to produce a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Model Numbers: CF552AW00 (Summer White), CF552GES00 (Golden Espresso), CF552ORB00 (Oil Rubbed Bronze).
  • Blade Span: 52 inches.
  • Location Suitability: Wet locations.
  • Electrical Requirements: Grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
  • Outlet Box Requirements: Must be securely anchored and capable of supporting at least 50 pounds, and listed as "Acceptable for Fan Support."
  • Minimum Clearance: Fan blades must be at least 7 feet from the floor. The downrod furnished provides the minimum recommended floor to fan blade clearance for an 8-foot ceiling.
  • Wiring: All wiring must comply with National Electrical Codes "ANSI/NFPA 70-2008" and Local Electrical Codes. The fan must be grounded.
  • Net Weight: 21.60 Lbs.

Usage Features:

  • Wet Location Suitability: Designed for use in porches, patios, and decks, provided it is installed in a GFCI protection branch circuit.
  • Reversible Airflow: A reversible switch allows users to change the direction of blade rotation. "Down" position (counter-clockwise) is for summer cooling, creating a wind-chill effect. "Up" position (clockwise) is for winter heating, circulating warm air downwards.
  • Three-Speed Control: A 4-position, 3-speed pull chain switch provides control over fan speed: 1st Pull-HIGH, 2nd Pull-Medium, 3rd Pull-Low, 4th Pull-OFF.
  • Energy Efficiency: The manual emphasizes choosing the appropriate mounting location (middle of the room, at least 7 feet above the floor, 18 inches from walls) and using the fan year-round with the correct rotation direction to maximize energy savings. It also advises turning off the fan when not in the room to save energy.
  • Accessories: Compatible with Emerson Ceiling Fan Light Kits, Ceiling Fan/Light Controls, Downrod Extension Kits, and Ceiling Fan Blades (available separately). Only Emerson-approved accessories should be used.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning Method: Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
  • Cleaning Agents: Abrasive cleaning agents are not required and should be avoided to prevent damage to the finish.
  • Water Usage: Do not use water when cleaning the ceiling fan, as it could damage the motor or blades and create an electrical shock hazard.

Instructions for ordering repair parts include specifying the part number, part description, name of item, and model number, with a toll-free phone number for assistance.
  • Safety During Maintenance: Before servicing or cleaning, power must be switched off at the service panel and locked to prevent accidental power-on. Caution is advised when working near the fan and blades.
