Ceiling fan problem

Hi Jeff, I think your problem may be with the instructions. I assmue these are the same fans as we get here in Belgium. I reckon there is one heck of a large factory in China churning these out for all the world. Anyway go back to your instructions and make sure you are not following the European wiring plan. As Dales mentioned he was not familiar with those colour wires , but they ARE the European colours. I nearly made the same mistake. I wired up 4 upstairs in the bedrooms last year. Luckily I have ceiling hooks , so its easier. Not the most pleasant job though is it ? Heavy things. Best of luck. Kevin
