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.

MOUNTING

• Carefully lift fan assembly onto mounting bracket. Rotate fan until notch on downrod ball (1) engages the ridge on the mounting bracket (2). This will allow for hands free wiring.
• With bracket holding fan assembly, make electrical connections using the following step for wiring instructions.

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:

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

Maintenance

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
