Installation

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

Unpack and inspect fan carefully to be certain all contents are included. Turn off power at fuse box to avoid possible electrical shock.
Use metal outlet box suitable for fan support (must support 35 lbs). Before attaching fan to outlet box, ensure the outlet box is securely fastened by at least two points to a structural ceiling member (a loose box will cause the fan to wobble).

MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION

Loosen but don’t remove the screws at the bottom of canopy; remove the mounting bracket from the canopy.
Install mounting bracket to outlet box in ceiling using the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.

NORMAL DOWNROD OPTION

Remove clamp pin (1) and cross pin (2) from downrod (3).

DOWNROD INSTALLATION

Loosen (but do not remove) the set screws (3) from the down rod coupling. Place downrod assembly into canopy and canopy hole cover (4). Insert motor wires through the downrod and insert the downrod into the downrod coupling. Make sure to align the hole in the downrod with the hole in the downrod coupling. Install cross pin (1) removed in step 5 through coupling and downrod. Insert clamp pin (2) into cross pin (1) until it snaps into place. Tighten set screws (3) in coupling.

Description

The Westinghouse Lighting Fan ETL-ES-Albert-WH23 boasts a classic and elegant design that complements a variety of interior styles. The fan’s wooden blades are crafted to provide a natural look, while the integrated light kit offers adjustable brightness to suit different moods and tasks. The WhisperQuiet motor ensures smooth and silent operation, making it perfect for bedrooms and living areas where noise needs to be minimized.

The fan is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring a reversible motor that allows for both summer and winter modes. This functionality helps in circulating warm air during the winter months and cool air during the summer, enhancing overall comfort and energy efficiency.

Westinghouse Lighting Fan Operation

Turn on the power and check operation of fan. The pull chain controls the fan speeds as follows: 1 pull - high; 2 pulls - medium; 3 pulls - low; 4 pulls - off. Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on.
The slide switch controls direction, forward or reverse.
Warm weather/down position - (Forward) Fan turns counterclockwise direction. A downward air flow creates a cooling effect as shown in illustration A. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher temperature setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather/up position - (Reverse) Fan turns clockwise direction. An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in illustration B. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

NOTE: Turn off and wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the forward/reverse slide switch.

Setup Guide

To set up the Westinghouse Lighting Fan ETL-ES-Albert-WH23, follow these steps:

Turn off the power to the circuit at the electrical panel before starting the installation.
Remove any existing fixtures and ensure the mounting site is secure.
Assemble the fan by attaching the blades and light kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Install the downrod and hang the fan, ensuring it is level and securely fastened.
Connect the electrical wires carefully, following the wiring diagram provided.
Turn on the power and test the fan and light kit to ensure proper operation.

Maintenance

Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning.
This could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause electrical shock.
Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer coating to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.

Troubleshooting

If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this Trouble Shooting Chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, please consult with your qualified electrician and do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

TROUBLE	SUGGESTED REMEDY
1. If fan does not start:	1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
	2. Check wire connections as performed in step #9 or #10 of installation. CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
	3. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
	4. If the fan still will not start, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to troubleshoot internal electrical connections yourself.
2. If fan sounds noisy:	1. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug (not over tightened).
	2. Check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade holder to the motor are tight.
	3. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT use a Solid State variable speed control.
	4. Allow “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.
3. If fan wobbles:	All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density which could cause the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight-matched. The following procedures should eliminate most of the wobble; check for wobble after each step.
	1. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
	2. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.
	3. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling joist.
	4. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
4. If light does not work:	1. Check to see that the wire connections in the switch housing are connected.
	2. Check for faulty light bulbs.
	3. If light kit will still not operate, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
