Guide

Installing a ceiling fan is not difficult: We provide you with a step-by-step guide.

Before you install your new ceiling fan, you should make a few preparations.

Check the assembly instructions: Are all the components present?
Have a ladder ready.
Do a little room planning. Where should the ceiling fan hang? It is important that the fan should be placed in the centre of the room.
But your ceiling light is hanging there? No problem: there are also fans with light. Alternatively, you can use a different power supply and mount the ceiling fan at a suitable distance from the light.. Keep the minimum distance from walls and objects as specified in the manufacturer's instructions. Each ceiling fan may have its own specifications.
Turn off the power and perform a test: Is the power really off?
