This document is an owner's manual for an Emerson Ceiling Fan Light Fixture, specifically for models LK70 and LK80. It provides essential instructions for safe assembly, installation, and maintenance of the light fixture, emphasizing safety precautions to prevent fire, shock, and personal injury. The manual is designed to guide users through the process of integrating the light fixture with an existing Emerson ceiling fan.
The Emerson Ceiling Fan Light Fixture (models LK70 and LK80) is an accessory designed to provide illumination when integrated with compatible Emerson CF Series Ceiling Fans. It functions as a light source, enhancing the utility and ambiance of a room by combining the air circulation of a ceiling fan with overhead lighting. The fixture is designed to house three 13-Watt CFL bulbs, which are included, and features an F480WW fitter. Its primary function is to provide supplemental lighting, making the ceiling fan a multi-functional unit. The installation process involves connecting the light fixture to the existing wiring of the ceiling fan, allowing for integrated control of both the fan and the light. Depending on the fan model, the installation may involve a modular switch cup with a center screw or a two-piece die-cast switch housing. An optional semi-flush ceiling mount kit is also described, offering an alternative installation method for specific setups. The light fixture is designed to be controlled via a pull chain, which is integrated into the fan's switch mechanism.
The Emerson Ceiling Fan Light Fixture is designed for straightforward use once installed. The primary usage feature is its ability to provide illumination, complementing the air movement from the ceiling fan. The fixture utilizes three 13-watt medium base compact fluorescent bulbs, which are energy-efficient and provide ample light. The light is typically controlled by a pull chain, which is connected to the fan's switch mechanism. This allows users to easily turn the light on or off independently of the fan's operation, or in conjunction with it, depending on the fan's wiring configuration. The manual details how to connect a wood pendant to the switch pull chain, making it easier to access and operate the light.
The design of the light fixture, with its glass bowl, ensures a diffused and pleasant light output suitable for various indoor settings. For installations in wet locations, specific instructions are provided to ensure the fixture's integrity and safety, highlighting the use of a rubber washer and lockwasher with a wet location plate. The modular design, particularly for fans with a modular switch cup, simplifies the integration process, allowing for a clean and secure attachment. For fans with two-piece die-cast switch housings, the installation steps are slightly different but still aim for a seamless integration. The optional semi-flush ceiling mount kit offers flexibility for different ceiling heights and aesthetic preferences, allowing the light fixture to be mounted closer to the ceiling.
The fixture's compatibility with Emerson CF Series Ceiling Fans ensures that it works harmoniously with the fan's existing structure and electrical system. The inclusion of the FN100 finial pack (sold separately) offers various options for the pull chain, including no holes, one hole, or two holes, allowing for customization based on user preference and fan model. The finial nuts, supplied with the finial pack, come in different heights (taller and shorter) to accommodate installations with or without an optional frame, providing versatility in the fixture's appearance. The overall design aims for ease of operation and integration into a home environment, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The Emerson Ceiling Fan Light Fixture is designed with minimal maintenance requirements, primarily focusing on safety and ensuring continued functionality. The manual stresses the importance of periodic checks for the tightness of the finial, which secures the glass bowl and any optional frame to the light fixture. This simple check helps prevent the glass bowl from becoming loose or falling, ensuring safety and stability.
When it comes to cleaning or working near the fan and blades, the manual provides a crucial safety instruction: always switch power off at the service panel and lock the disconnecting means. This prevents accidental power-on and reduces the risk of electrical shock or injury during maintenance. While specific cleaning instructions for the light fixture itself are not detailed, the general safety guidelines imply that any cleaning should be done with power disconnected.
Replacing the 13-watt CFL bulbs is a straightforward maintenance task. Users simply need to unscrew the old bulbs and install new ones into the light sockets. The manual does not specify a particular replacement schedule for the bulbs, as their lifespan varies, but it implies that bulb replacement is a user-manageable task.
The warranty information also touches upon maintenance, stating that the warranty does not cover defects or failures caused by "unreasonable use, misuse, abuse, including failing to do reasonable and necessary maintenance, and normal wear and tear." This implicitly encourages users to perform basic, reasonable maintenance to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the light fixture. For instance, ensuring that no bare wire strands are exposed outside wire connectors (as highlighted in a warning) is a critical maintenance check that prevents fire or electrical shock. Similarly, being careful not to pinch wires between the switch cup and the cover plate, or between the light fitter assembly cover and the ceiling, are preventive maintenance measures that users should observe during installation and any subsequent access to the wiring.
In summary, maintenance for the Emerson Ceiling Fan Light Fixture primarily involves:
The manual's emphasis on safety throughout the installation and usage instructions also serves as a guide for safe maintenance practices, ensuring that the light fixture remains a reliable and secure component of the ceiling fan.
