Prominence Home 40278 - User Manual

The device described in this manual is a Glenmont 52" Indoor Ceiling Fan available in three models: #40278, #50388 (Antique Pewter), and #50389 (Distressed White). This ceiling fan is designed to provide air circulation and illumination for indoor spaces.

Function Description:

The Glenmont 52" Ceiling Fan serves a dual purpose: air circulation and lighting. It features a motor assembly that drives five fan blades to create airflow, and a light kit that provides illumination. The fan's speed and light can be controlled independently via pull chains. Additionally, it includes a reverse switch to optimize performance for different seasons, 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.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Fan Size: 52 inches
• Net Weight: 21.5 lb (9.75 kg)
• Mounting Options:
  • Closemount: Best suited for ceilings lower than 8 feet, does not utilize the downrod.
  • Downrod Mount: Best suited for ceilings 8 feet or higher. A longer downrod (not included) may be used for taller ceilings.
  • Angled Ceiling Mount: Best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings up to 16 degrees. A longer downrod may be necessary to ensure proper blade clearance.
• Bulb Type: E26-base B10 LED bulbs (x3) are included for the light kit.
• Electrical Requirements: The fan operates with standard household electrical wiring. It is crucial to connect the fan wires to the power supply wires according to the provided wiring diagram (green to ground, white to neutral/common, black and blue to live/hot).
• Safety Standards: The fan is designed to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules for Class B digital devices and must be installed in accordance with the national electrical code (ANSI/NFPA 70-1999) and local codes. It is listed by INTERTEK US.
• Dimensions (approximate):
  • A (Total Height with Downrod): 13.58 inches
  • B (Height from Ceiling to Bottom of Light Kit): 9.21 inches
  • C (Height from Ceiling to Fan Blades): 6.74 inches
  • D (Canopy Diameter): 5.13 inches

Usage Features:

• Fan Speed Control: The fan features a pull chain with four positions: one pull for HIGH speed, two for MEDIUM, three for LOW, and four pulls to turn the fan OFF.
• Light Control: The light kit has a separate pull chain with two positions: ON and OFF.
• Seasonal Reverse Switch: A reverse switch, located on the fitter plate, allows users to change the direction of blade rotation. Pushing the switch to the left results in downward airflow (warmer weather), while pushing it to the right results in upward airflow (cooler weather). It is important to wait for the fan to stop completely before changing the reverse switch position, and the switch must be set completely left or right for the fan to operate.
• Mounting Versatility: The fan offers three distinct mounting options (Closemount, Downrod Mount, Angled Ceiling Mount) to accommodate various ceiling heights and types, ensuring suitability for a wide range of indoor environments.
• Optional Light Kit Installation: The fan can be installed with or without the light kit, providing flexibility based on user preference. If installing without the light kit, a switch housing cap is used to cover the fitter plate.
• Pull Chain Extensions: Two pull chain extensions are provided to make operating the fan and light more convenient.

Maintenance Features:

• General Cleaning: The manual implies that regular cleaning of the fan blades and other components is part of general maintenance, with a caution against inserting foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
• Screw Tightening: Users are advised to check and retighten all set screws of the fan where necessary before installation and periodically thereafter. This includes screws for the motor housing, blade arms, canopy, and mounting bracket to prevent wobbling and noise.
• Bulb Replacement: The E26-base B10 LED bulbs are user-replaceable when they fail.
• Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive troubleshooting section is included to help users diagnose and resolve common issues such as the fan not starting, being noisy, wobbling, or the light not working. This section provides suggested remedies for various problems, often emphasizing checking electrical connections and screw tightness.
• Service Department Support: For problems that cannot be remedied by the user or for difficulties during installation, a service department contact number (1-877-459-3267) is provided, available Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Central time.
• Limited Lifetime Warranty: The manufacturer offers a limited lifetime warranty on the fan's workmanship and materials from the factory for the original purchaser. Other fan parts (excluding glass or acrylic blades) have a one-year warranty. This warranty covers defects and allows for repair or replacement. It is important to retain the receipt as proof of purchase for warranty service. The warranty specifically notes that a small amount of "wobble" is normal and not considered a defect. It also excludes damage from accident, misuse, improper installation, or unauthorized service, and does not cover changes in brass finish due to climate conditions.
