Astoria Grand 48 5 Blade Ceiling Fan Light Kit Included Reviews within measurements 2000 X 2000Chandelier Style Ceiling Fans – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly beside a set horizontal fairly low ceiling where it can be off the beaten track, and from which it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, with regards to the room size being fitted, and may cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that are reversible. Except for the tools and possible the rest required for installing them, their self-assemble kits have any devices. In many cases, the fan, which will have its own lighting, will replace a ceiling light fixture.
Safety, The electricity has to be off once your there the location where the fan is usually to be installed. If the fan is replacing a light fixture, de-activate its fuse or circuit breaker along with flipping its wall switch the signal from the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder during the installation; don’t lean or end up in a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye-glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is needed, get professional advice or help first. Tools needed, instructions (electrical) eye-glasses or goggles step-stool/ladder Phillips screwdrivers pliers electrical tape knife or sissors AC tester light wire cutter/stripper tape measure (optional) electric drill and further screws for securing the junction box, if needed
Installation steps (after reading the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the light fixture from the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly eliminate the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws from the electrical junction box in the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, make sure the wire connections to this fixture are cold (the test light will always be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect them to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the home is old, only two wires might exist, a black one plus a white one. Tip: also confirm the firmness of the electrical box in the ceiling. If it can be not solidly connected to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which might require drilling two holes in the box on their behalf. The ceiling fan is heavier than the light fixture. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends of the tailing wires in the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket to the box with the two 5/32″ screw-bolts provided. Let the tailing wires hang outside of the bracket. 3. Hang the motor assembly from the bracket. Insert the topside motor-hanger to the centralized holder of the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly should certainly swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for that motor plus a blue or off-color one for that lights to be attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of such two wires (motor and lights) together with the stripped end of the black ceiling wire in the box, and twist connect them together with the wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire exactly the same.
Then, to hold these connections from loosening whilst the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of such nuts to their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from the bracket frame) to the electrical box in the event the box can also be grounded with a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, in the event the electrical box in not grounded, ask an experienced about it green wire connection. Some will say to leave it be, i.e., relax with it. Others could suggest further wiring? 5. Install the flush-mount motor shroud. Install the motor shroud to the far ends of the mounting bracket with the small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges of the motor and also the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 4) and mount them. After picking out the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades to their end brackets with the screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades to the bottom side of fan motor with the bolts, lock washers, and dampening gaskets provided. Note: these latter pieces sometimes are partially pre-installed to the motor to hold them separate from the rest of the kit hardware.
Tip: to hold the motor from becoming too off-level with this step, install the blades one at a time opposite to one another in the first place. 7. Install the lighting assembly. Attach the fan’s lighting assembly to the small round central housing unit just underneath the fan blades through quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders in the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided in the event the lighting assembly is just not wanted without any reason. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch the signal from on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set ahead on with the wall switch, whilst the fan itself is controlled by the pull-chain switch only, initially set in the off position. Note: The ceiling fan has a reversible motor switch which allows the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
