This document is an owner's manual for the Westinghouse Bendan LED ceiling fan, model ETL-ES-Bendan LED-WH16. It provides detailed instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance, along with safety tips and troubleshooting information.
Function Description:
The Westinghouse Bendan LED ceiling fan is designed to provide air circulation and illumination for indoor spaces. It features a reversible motor for both warm and cool weather operation, allowing it to move air downward for a cooling effect in warm weather and upward to circulate warm air off the ceiling in cool weather. The fan includes an integrated LED light fixture for ambient lighting. It comes with a remote control unit equipped with 16 code combinations to prevent interference with other remote units, offering convenient control over fan speed and light settings.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Fan Support: The fan must be mounted to an outlet box marked "acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less."
- Clearance: A minimum clearance of 7 feet from the floor to the trailing edge of the fan blades is required.
- Wiring: Installation work and electrical wiring must comply with all applicable codes and standards (ANSI/NFPA 70), including fire-rated construction. The fan should not be used with any solid-state fan speed control device or variable speed control.
- Light Fixture: The fan includes an LED luminaire that contains no UV. The light kit has two keyhole slots for secure attachment.
- Remote Control: The remote control unit has 16 code combinations to prevent interference. It offers control over fan speed (OFF, HIGH, MED, M.LOW, LOW) and light (ON/OFF, continuous dimming).
- Weight:
- Net Weight: LBS (specific value not provided in the image)
- Peso Neto: KGS (specific value not provided in the image)
Usage Features:
- Remote Control Operation: The included remote control allows users to turn the fan ON/OFF, select from five fan speeds (HIGH, MED, M.LOW, LOW), and control the LED light. The light dimmer function provides continuous dimming from bright to dark or dark to bright.
- Reversible Motor: The fan features a slide switch on the top of the motor housing to reverse the direction of the blades.
- Warm Weather/Down Position (Forward): The fan blades rotate counterclockwise, creating a downward airflow for a cooling effect. This allows for setting the air conditioner at a higher temperature without compromising comfort.
- Cool Weather/Up Position (Reverse): The fan blades rotate clockwise, moving warm air off the ceiling area. This allows for setting the heating unit at a lower temperature without compromising comfort.
- Note: The fan must be turned off and allowed to stop before changing the forward/reverse slide switch setting. The slide switch must be pushed firmly to one side or the other; the fan will not operate if the switch is in the middle position.
- Mounting Options: The manual describes two mounting options:
- Normal Downrod Option: For installing the downrod supplied with the fan.
- Extended Downrod Option: For installing a longer downrod than supplied with the fan.
- Installation: The manual provides step-by-step instructions for preparing for installation, mounting bracket installation, downrod preparation, mounting the fan assembly, wiring connections, securing the fan to the ceiling, blade installation, and light fixture installation.
Maintenance Features:
- Connection Checks: Due to the fan's natural movement, some connections may loosen over time. It is recommended to check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year to ensure they are secure.
- Cleaning: The fan should be cleaned periodically to maintain its appearance. Only a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to avoid scratching the finish. Water should not be used for cleaning, as it could damage the motor or wood, or cause electrical shock. The plating is sealed with a lacquer coating to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
- Lubrication: The fan motor has permanently lubricated bearings, so there is no need to oil it.
- Qualified Personnel: Installation and electrical wiring must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes.
- Power Disconnection: Before installation or servicing, power must be switched off at the service panel, and the service disconnecting means must be locked to prevent accidental power-on.
- Outlet Box: The fan must be mounted to an outlet box marked "acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less," using the provided mounting screws. Most outlet boxes for luminaires are not suitable for fan support and may need replacement.
- Blade Handling: Do not bend blade holders during installation, balancing, or cleaning. Do not insert foreign objects between rotating blades.
- Wall/Ceiling Integrity: Be cautious when cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings to avoid damaging electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
- Supervision: The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- Combustion Airflow: The fan's operation may affect the combustion airflow needed for fuel-burning equipment. Follow heating equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant safety standards (NFPA, ASHRAE).
- Tub/Shower Installation: If installed over a tub or shower, the unit must be marked as appropriate for the application, and a switch should never be placed where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
