General information on Ceiling Fans

General Information.
Normal Wear and Tear.
1. All electrical motors, including fan motors make some noise, and may feel hot to the touch. This is
NOT a fault.
2. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not rigidly mounted. (Rigid
mountings can generate excessive vibration and stress on the mountings). Movement of a couple
of centimetres is quite OK and does not suggest that the fan will fall down. The Sycamore fan is
mounted securely on a metal Hanger Bracket with rubber cushioning and a ball joint to allow free
movement. Please note that due to manufacturing variations not all Sycamore ceiling fans are
exactly the same - some may move more that others. Note: Excessive wobble can be caused by
the Drive Shaft not being positioned vertically. This can be easily rectified by adjusting the position
of the Fan Motor Assembly in the Hanger Bracket (see page 32).
3. Ceiling fans are an environmentally smart choice to help cool you in your home. They work by
creating air flow which causes a cooling sensation on the skin. The faster the speed of the air flow,
the greater the cooling sensation. Ceiling fans do not work by cooling the room, so they should be
switched off when there is no one in the room, to save energy. The effectiveness of ceiling fans is
also dependent on the humidity in the air - they are more effective in humid environments, and less
so in dry ones.
4. During winter, a slowly turning fan may help to reduce heating costs. Warm air rises to the ceiling,
where it cannot be felt by the occupants of a room, especially in areas with high ceilings. The fan
helps to keep warm air away from the ceiling, and mixes it with the air below. Keep the fan speed
low, so that the effects of evaporative cooling are minimised.
1. Threaded components working slightly loose or parts even slightly damaged or bent during
vigorous cleaning or bumping can cause extra wobble and noise. This is not covered under
warranty, but care during maintenance and cleaning should prevent this from occurring.
