The Fanaway Orbit Ceiling Fan is a sophisticated and versatile appliance designed to provide both air circulation and illumination for indoor spaces. This product combines the functionality of a ceiling fan with an integrated LED light kit, offering a comprehensive solution for comfort and lighting. Its design incorporates retractable blades that fold away when the fan is not in use, giving it the appearance of a sleek light fixture.
The primary function of the Fanaway Orbit is to circulate air within a room, offering both cooling in summer and improved warmth distribution in winter. It achieves this through its unique retractable blade system, which deploys when the fan is activated and retracts when it is turned off. This dual-purpose design allows the appliance to serve as a discreet light source when air circulation is not needed, and as an efficient fan when it is.
The fan operation is controlled via a wall switch, which offers three distinct speed settings: low, medium, and high. This allows users to adjust the airflow intensity according to their comfort preferences and the prevailing environmental conditions. The fan also features a reversing function, enabling it to operate in two modes: summer mode and winter mode. In summer mode, the blades rotate counter-clockwise, directing airflow downwards to create a cooling effect. In winter mode, the blades rotate clockwise, drawing warm air upwards and distributing it more evenly throughout the room, thereby assisting with energy conservation.
In addition to its air circulation capabilities, the Fanaway Orbit includes an integrated LED light kit. This light kit provides illumination for the room, enhancing the overall functionality of the appliance. The LED light features a 3-step dimmable function, allowing users to select from 100%, 60%, or 10% brightness levels. This dimming capability is controlled by toggling the ON/OFF switch for the light, providing flexibility in setting the desired ambiance. The light will reset to 100% brightness if turned off for more than 5 seconds and then turned back on.
The Fanaway Orbit is designed for indoor use only, ensuring its suitability for residential and similar enclosed environments. Its installation requires an all-pole disconnection switch to be incorporated into the fixed wiring, in accordance with local wiring rules, particularly in Australia, to ensure electrical safety. A single-pole switch on the active of the receiver input of the remote control must also be included in the wiring and located in the same room as the ceiling fan. The fan must be mounted to a structure capable of supporting at least 32 kg, and its blades must be at least 2.1 meters above the floor in Australia. The hanging system is specifically designed for flat ceiling installations and is not suitable for angled ceilings.
The fan can be operated using a wall controller, which is included with the product. This controller features a rotary switch for fan speed selection (OFF, low, medium, high) and a separate toggle switch for the light (ON/OFF). For enhanced convenience, the fan is also compatible with a remote control (sold separately), which simplifies operation from anywhere within the room. The remote control wiring diagrams are provided for both versions: without plugs (manual wiring) and with plugs (using quick connectors).
The dimmable LED light offers flexibility in lighting. By toggling the light switch ON/OFF four times within five seconds, users can cycle through the 100%, 60%, and 10% brightness settings. This feature allows for easy adjustment of the light intensity to suit various activities or moods.
The reversing function is a key feature for year-round comfort. Users can easily switch between summer and winter modes to optimize air circulation for cooling or warmth distribution, respectively. This contributes to energy efficiency by making heating and cooling systems more effective.
Maintaining the Fanaway Orbit Ceiling Fan is straightforward and primarily involves periodic cleaning to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the ceiling fan every six months. For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to avoid scratching the paint finish. It is crucial to turn off the electricity power at the mains switch before performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks to prevent electrical shock.
The fan should never be soaked or immersed in water or other liquids, as this can damage the motor or blades and pose a risk of electrical shock. Furthermore, the fan should not come into contact with any organic solvents or cleaners, as these can damage the surfaces. To clean the fan blades, only a damp, clean cloth should be used, free from any organic solvents or cleaners.
The motor of the Fanaway Orbit is equipped with a permanently lubricated ball bearing, which means it does not require oiling throughout its lifespan. This eliminates the need for routine lubrication, simplifying maintenance.
The light source contained within the luminaire is non-user replaceable. If the light source needs replacement, it must be performed by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person. The shade of the light kit assembly must not be removed during cleaning, maintenance, or any other circumstances, as this could compromise the integrity of the unit and potentially void the warranty.
In case of unusual wobbling or oscillating movement, users are advised to immediately stop using the ceiling fan and contact the manufacturer, its service agent, or suitably qualified persons. The fixing means for attachment to the ceiling must be strong enough to withstand four times the weight of the ceiling fan. Any replacement of parts of the safety suspension system device must also be performed by authorized personnel.
The Fanaway Orbit is designed for durability and ease of care, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable performance with minimal user intervention beyond regular cleaning.
