Home Decorators Collection Kensgrove 72 In Led Indooroutdoor throughout size 1000 X 100072 Inch Ceiling Fan – The flush-style ceiling fan is mounted snugly next to a flat horizontal fairly low ceiling where it is off the beaten track, and where it delivers a comforting room breeze. It comes in several diameters, from about 28 to 60-inches, with respect to the size of room being fitted, and can cost typically from $30 to $300. It generally has three fan motor speeds, that happen to be reversible. Except for the equipment and possible the rest required for installing them, their self-assemble kits include the rest. In many cases, the fan, that may have a unique lighting, will replace a ceiling fitting.
Safety, The electricity have to be off at the site in which the fan will be installed. If the fan is replacing a fitting, turn off its fuse or circuit breaker along with flipping its wall switch to the off position. Stand on a sturdy wide-berth step stool or ladder throughout the installation; usually do not lean or enter a twisted position while there. Also, wear protective eye glasses or goggles. Furthermore, if additional auxiliary household wiring is required, 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 extra screws for securing the junction box, as appropriate
Installation steps (looking at the fan installation instructions thoroughly). 1. Remove the fitting from the ceiling. With the electricity off, slowly remove the shade, bulbs, and fixture screws from the electrical junction box within the ceiling. Let the skeleton fixture hang there. With the light tester, guarantee the wire connections for this fixture are cold (the test light will always be off). Cut the wires, leaving 3-5″ of tail allowing you to connect these to the ceiling fan motor assembly. If the house is old, only two wires might exist, a black one along with a white one. Tip: also check the firmness of the electrical box within the ceiling. If it is not solidly attached to the ceiling, add two extra screws to its top side, which could require drilling two holes within the box for the kids. The ceiling fan is heavier than the fitting. It also wobbles slightly during operation. 2. Install the mounting bracket. After stripping the ends of the tailing wires within the junction box cleanly, install the mounting bracket to the box while using 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 in to the centralized holder of the bracket. Insert the plastic lock clip that holds it into place. Note: the hanging motor assembly really should swivel slightly. 4. Connect the wiring. Generally, the motor assembly has two so-called hot wires, a black one for that motor along with a blue or off-color one for that lights to become attached below it. Overlap the stripped ends of such two wires (motor and lights) together while using stripped end of the black ceiling wire within the box, and twist connect them together while using wire nut provided. Connect the white assembly wire to the white ceiling wire the same way.
Then, to hold these connections from loosening as the fan is working, tape the wide lower ends of such nuts for their wires with electrical tape. Also, attach the green fan wire (ground wire from the bracket frame) to the electrical box if your box is also grounded which has a third bare or green wire. Otherwise, if your electrical box in not grounded, ask an experienced about this green wire connection. Some will say to let it rest be, i.e., do nothing at all from 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 while using small screws provided. It covers/hides the edges of the motor and the wiring and ceiling box. 6. Assemble the fan blades (3 to 5) and mount them. After choosing the top or bottom reversible blade color scheme preferred, attach the blades for their end brackets while using screws and washers provided. Then mount the blades to the bottom side of fan motor while using 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 individually opposite to each other 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 via the quick-wire-connectors and small screws provided. Install the glass shades, bulbs, and pull-chain extenders within the order instructed. Note: a housing cap is provided if your lighting assembly is not wanted without any reason. 8. Test the fan and lights. After turning the electricity back on, flip the wall switch to on. Set the pull-chain switches as desired. Often, the fan lighting is set to come on while using wall switch, as the fan itself is controlled by the pull-chain switch only, initially set within the off position. Note: The ceiling fan carries a reversible motor switch that permits the draft either to go upward or downward as preferred.
