Cleaning and Maintenance
Care and Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of your ceiling fan is the only maintenance that is needed. Use a
soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
• Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan, it could damage the motor or the
blades and create the possibility of an electrical shock.
• Motor has permanently lubricated ball bearings. No need to oil.
• This fan is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision.
• Do not allow young children to play with the fan.
Wobble
• Ceiling fans tend to move during operation due to the fact that they are not
generally rigidly mounted - if they were, they could generate excessive ceiling
vibration and stress on their mountings.
• Movement of a couple of centimetres is quite OK and does not suggest the fan will
fall down.
• Ceiling fans are mounted very securely on steel brackets with rubber cushioning or
with ball joints to allow free movement.
• Please note that all ceiling fans are not the same, even in the same model - some
may move more or less than others.
The following procedures should eliminate any wobble. Check for wobble after each
step. It is impossible to eliminate wobble completely.
• Check that all blade brackets are tightened securely.
• Most wobble problems result from inconsistent blade level. To check blade level,
measure the distance from each blade tip to the ceiling. If measurements are
inconsistent, adjustments of brackets will be required.
• Wobble problem could also result from deviations in distance from blade to
blade. To check blade separation, measure the distance from blade tip to blade
tip. Should measurements vary, loosen screws connecting blades and brackets
(one at a time) then shift blade to proper position and re-tighten screws.
Normal Wear and Tear
Threaded components working slightly loose or blade carriers even slightly bent due
to vigorous cleaning or bumping can cause extra wobble and noise.
This is not covered under warranty - but a little care and maintenance can reduce or
prevent this problem.

Trouble Shooting
Bumps-in-the-night
This is the biggest cause for service calls which are outside the manufacturer’s warranty.
If a fan has a fault, it will be noticeable at all times. Naturally when everything is quiet at
night, you will be more inclined to hear small noises which may not be noticeable at
other times. Even slight power fluctuations, and mains frequency signals superimposed
in your electricity supply for off-peak hot water control may cause a change in fan motor
noise. This is normal.

Goldair undertake to repair or replace this product at no charge if found to be defective due to a manufacturing fault during the

This warranty excludes damage caused by misuse, neglect, shipping accident, incorrect installation, or work carried out by anyone
