This document describes the assembly, operation, and maintenance of the Cumberland Ceiling Fan, models #42476 and #42479, manufactured by Harbor Breeze. It provides detailed instructions and safety information to ensure proper installation and use.
Function Description
The Cumberland Ceiling Fan is designed to provide air circulation and illumination in residential settings. It features multiple fan speeds, a light kit with adjustable color temperature, and a reverse switch for seasonal use. The fan can be controlled via a remote pack, offering convenience and ease of use.
The fan's primary function is to create airflow, which can help regulate room temperature and improve comfort. In warmer weather, the fan can be set to create a downward airflow, producing a wind chill effect. In cooler weather, the reverse switch can be used to create an upward airflow, helping to move warm air off the ceiling area.
The integrated light kit provides illumination with adjustable color temperature, allowing users to switch between 2200K (warm white) and 6500K (daylight) to suit their preference or time of day. The light can be dimmed or brightened, and a "Light Delay" feature allows the light to stay on for 60 seconds after activation, providing time to exit a room safely.
For enhanced convenience and energy saving, the fan includes a "Home Shield™" feature that simulates occupancy by randomly turning the light on and off for varying durations, providing a sense of security when away from home.
Usage Features
The Cumberland Ceiling Fan offers several features designed for user convenience and optimal performance:
- Remote Control Operation: The fan and light functions are primarily controlled by a remote pack. This includes turning the fan on/off, adjusting fan speeds (high, medium, low, variable breeze), and controlling the light (on/off, dimming/brightening, color temperature adjustment, light delay).
- Variable Breeze Mode: This mode simulates a natural breeze, providing a dynamic and comfortable airflow experience.
- Adjustable Light Color Temperature: Users can switch between warm white (2200K) and daylight (6500K) to match their desired ambiance.
- Light Delay Function: A 60-second light delay allows for safe exit from a room after turning off the light.
- Home Shield™ Mode: This security feature simulates occupancy by randomly activating the light, enhancing home security when residents are away.
- Reverse Switch: A physical switch on the fan motor assembly allows users to change the direction of blade rotation, enabling seasonal use for both cooling and warming effects. The fan must be stopped before engaging the reverse switch.
- Mounting Options: The fan supports standard mounting for ceilings 8 ft. or higher and angle mounting for vaulted ceilings up to 16°. It is important to ensure proper blade clearance of at least 7 ft. from the floor and 30 in. from any obstructions.
- Easy Installation: The manual provides step-by-step instructions for assembly, including attaching the mounting bracket, downrod, motor assembly, blade arms, blades, light pan, light kit, and glass bowl. Wiring instructions are clearly outlined, emphasizing safety and proper connections.
- Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive troubleshooting section helps users diagnose and resolve common issues such as the fan not moving, excessive wobbling, noise, or remote control malfunction. This guide offers practical solutions for various problems, from loose connections to unbalanced blades or remote syncing issues.
- Hardware and Parts List: Detailed lists of package contents and hardware, including extra screws and washers, are provided to ensure all necessary components are available for assembly. Replacement part numbers are also included for future reference.
Maintenance Features
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the Cumberland Ceiling Fan, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Routine Inspection: At least twice a year, the canopy should be lowered to check the downrod assembly, and all screws on the fan should be tightened. This helps maintain stability and prevent wobbling or noise.
- Cleaning: The motor housing should be cleaned with a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The fan blades should also be cleaned with a lint-free cloth to remove dust and maintain efficiency. It is crucial to shut off the main power supply before performing any cleaning or maintenance tasks and to avoid using water or a damp cloth on the ceiling fan.
- Battery Replacement: The remote control uses CR2032 lithium batteries. Exhausted batteries should be promptly removed and replaced with new ones. Non-rechargeable batteries should not be recharged, and batteries should not be disposed of in fire, as they may explode or leak.
- LED Light Kit: The total fixture wattage for the light kit is 22.5 watts. Users should not attempt to replace the LED components, as they are integrated and designed for the fan's lifetime.
- Troubleshooting and Support: In case of issues, the troubleshooting guide offers solutions for common problems. For missing parts or more complex issues, customer service is available via phone or email, and a website is provided for ordering replacement parts.
- Warranty Information: The fan comes with a limited lifetime warranty for defects in workmanship and materials from the factory for the original purchaser. Other fan parts, excluding glass or plastic blades, are warranted for one year. The warranty covers correction of defects or replacement with a comparable model. It is important to retain the purchase receipt for warranty service. The warranty does not cover damage from accident, misuse, improper installation, or unauthorized service. It also clarifies that minor "wobble" is normal and not considered a defect.
