Warranty
YOUR ICONIC FAN WARRANTY
Warranty for your *Iconic Fan Co. product is provided by the product distributor in the Australian state or territory where the fan was purchased.
Prior to contacting your Iconic Distributor in connection with a warranty question, please ensure you have the following information available:
- Model Name / Product Number (as shown on the installation guide)
- Date and location of purchase, including the original purchase receipt issued to you at the time of purchase
- The name, telephone number and license details of the qualified licensed electrician who installed the product.
Installing Electricians who are experiencing problems installing the product or who cannot get the product to operate correctly once installed must read the 'Trouble-Shooting Section' of the installation guide.
SELECTING THE RIGHT CEILING FAN
It is important that you select your fan carefully as fans that do not perform as expected and which are not faulty cannot be replaced or exchanged under warranty. To obtain the best performance from a ceiling fan, it is crucial that the correct size of fan is properly installed in the optimum location. We cannot arrange for, or cover the cost of, an in-home visit by service personnel in relation to the airflow or other performance of your product except in cases where, following over the telephone trouble shooting, our authorised representative has determined that such issues may be a direct result of a manufacturing defect (material or workmanship).
PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY
Your warranty will be void if the product is installed by persons not qualified to carry out such work. Ensure your ceiling fan is installed by a qualified licensed electrician. You will be required to provide the details of the installing electrician’s name and license number in the event that you wish to make any claim for warranty.
MAINTAIN YOUR CEILING FAN
Your ceiling fan requires regular cleaning with a damp cloth to avoid the build-up of dust and other atmospheric particles that lead to corrosion. Failure to regularly maintain your fan may result in corrosion to the finish and such damage is not covered by warranty.
MANUFACTURERS’ WARRANTY

Ceiling fans that have been moved from the original installation location are not covered by this warranty.
