Overview

This document is an owner's manual for a 42-inch ceiling fan, specifically models #51014, #51015, and #51478. It provides detailed instructions for assembly, operation, troubleshooting, and warranty information.

Function Description

The device is a 42-inch ceiling fan designed to provide air circulation and illumination in a room. It features a reversible motor for seasonal use, allowing for downward airflow in warmer weather to create a wind chill effect and upward airflow in cooler weather to help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area. The fan also includes a light kit for ambient lighting.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Fan Size: 42 inches
  • Models: #51014 (Brushed Nickel), #51015 (Espresso), #51478 (Pewter)
  • Net Weight: 11.57 lb (5.26 kg)
  • Bulb Type: E-26 LED base Bulb (x2)
  • Maximum Light Wattage: Total wattage of bulbs should not exceed 180 watts (for incandescent bulbs only).
  • Mounting Options: Downrod Mount (for ceilings 8 ft. or higher) and Angled Ceiling Mount (up to 16 degrees).
  • Clearance Requirements: Blades must be at least 7 feet (2.1 meters) above the floor and at least 18 inches (0.5 meters) from the tip of the blades to the wall.
  • Power Supply: Requires connection to household electrical supply (Black (hot), White (neutral), Bare/Green (ground) wires).
  • Control: Pull chain for fan speed (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, OFF) and light (ON, OFF). Reverse switch for seasonal airflow direction.
  • Safety Certifications: ETL Listed (Intertek), C US.
  • FCC Compliance: Complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s), ensuring it does not cause harmful interference and accepts any interference received.

Usage Features

  • Seasonal Airflow Reversibility: The fan includes a reverse switch to change the direction of blade rotation. Pushing the switch to the left (when facing it) creates downward airflow for warmer weather, while pushing it to the right creates upward airflow for cooler weather. It's crucial to wait for the fan to stop completely before moving the reverse switch, and the switch must be set completely left or right for correct operation; a middle position will prevent the fan from operating.
  • Adjustable Fan Speed: A pull chain controls the fan speed with four settings: one pull for HIGH, two for MEDIUM, three for LOW, and four pulls to turn the fan OFF.
  • Light Control: A separate pull chain controls the light kit, turning it ON and OFF.
  • Mounting Flexibility: The fan supports two primary mounting configurations:
    • Downrod Mount: Best suited for ceilings 8 feet or higher. Longer downrods (not included) can be used for taller ceilings.
    • Angled Ceiling Mount: Ideal for angled or vaulted ceilings, up to 16 degrees. A longer downrod may be necessary to ensure proper blade clearance from the ceiling in this configuration.
  • Energy Efficiency: Using a ceiling fan can help optimize thermostat settings, potentially reducing energy consumption by allowing users to raise the thermostat in summer and lower it in winter without compromising comfort.

Maintenance Features

  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to address common issues such as the fan not starting, being noisy, wobbling, or the light not working. This section provides suggested remedies, including checking electrical connections, tightening screws, balancing blades, and verifying bulb functionality.
  • Cleaning: The manual advises against bending blade brackets when cleaning the fan to prevent personal injury.
  • Bulb Replacement: Instructions are provided for installing and replacing bulbs in the light kit. It is important to allow bulbs to cool before replacement.
  • Set Screw Checks: All set screws of the fan must be checked and retightened where necessary before installation and periodically thereafter to ensure secure operation.
  • Wiring Access: The light kit features a slot that allows access to preassembled motor screws, simplifying certain maintenance or assembly tasks.
  • Professional Assistance: For complex electrical wiring or persistent issues, the manual recommends seeking the services of a qualified licensed electrician.
  • Service Department Contact: A dedicated service department is available for assistance with installation or operational difficulties, reachable via phone during specified hours.

Safety Instructions

The manual emphasizes several critical safety precautions:

  • Power Disconnection: Always turn OFF electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker before installation or servicing to prevent electric shock.
  • Mounting Security: The fan must be mounted to an outlet box marked "acceptable for fan support" using the provided mounting screws to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
  • Blade Safety: Do not bend blade brackets, insert foreign objects between rotating blades, or change fan direction until blades have stopped completely.
  • Dimmer Switch Warning: Do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed, as this can cause a loud humming noise and poses a risk of fire or electric shock.
  • Wiring Compliance: Installation must comply with national electrical codes (ANSI/NFPA 70-1999) and local codes.
  • Secondary Hanging System: For installations in Canada, a secondary hanging system is required for added safety, involving a braided cable secured to a ceiling brace. While not required in the U.S.A., the braided cable can be cut and removed if desired.

Warranty Information

The product comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The fan motor is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material for the life of the product. Other ceiling fan parts (excluding the motor and parts made with glass) are warranted for one year from the date of purchase. The warranty covers repair or replacement of defective parts but excludes costs of removal and reinstallation, damage from ordinary wear and tear, accident, misuse, improper installation, or service by non-licensed electricians. The warranty is void if the original purchaser ceases to own the fan.
