Important Facts; Warranty Information - IDEAL Seattle DC Series Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT FACTS

All electric motors, including fan motors make some noise and may feel hot if touched – this is NOT A
FAULT. Ceiling fans tend to move during operation as they are not generally rigid-mounted. Rigid mounted
ceiling fans generate excessive vibration (which leads to noise) and stress on their mountings.
Movement in a ceiling fan is not uncommon and does not suggest the fan will fall down. Some fans wobble
more than others, even in the same model.
Fan lights can rattle; if they are not supplied with a fan. They are not covered by warranty.
Fan Operation:
A ceiling fan rotates much more slowly than an electric desk fan; it cools people effectively by introducing
slow movement into the otherwise still, hot air of a room, inducing natural evaporative cooling. Fans never
actually cool air, unlike air-conditioning equipment, but use significantly less power.
Normal Wear and Tear
Threaded components working slightly loose, or blade carriers becoming 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
Night Noises
This is the biggest cause of service calls, which are outside the manufacturer's warranty. If a fan has a fault,
then it would be noticeable at ALL TIMES. Obviously 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 signals super imposed
in your electricity supply for off peak hot water control may cause a change in the fan motor noise, which is
deemed normal.
