2. Installing Ceiling Fans For Plaster Ceilings

STEP 1

Measure the fan installation location (preferably the center of the room).

STEP 2

Use a round plaster cutter, a plaster cutting disc, or a paper cutter knife.
Cut a hole smaller than the size of the fan funnel on the plaster ceiling. The cut hole (round or square) has a diameter larger than the edge of the hook by about 0.5cm.

STEP 3

Measure the distance from the plaster ceiling to the concrete ceiling.
Note: Check in advance and avoid the locations of hidden electrical wires and plaster frames.

STEP 4

Choose a ceiling hook with a base. Use a hook with a suitable length, preferably equal to the measured distance.
Note: U-shaped hooks are not suitable for GCool ceiling fans.

STEP 5

Put the hook through the cut hole on the plaster ceiling, place it on the ceiling to mark the position to drill.

STEP 6

Drill the concrete ceiling in the marked position.

STEP 7

Screw an iron expansion screw into the drilled position.

STEP 8

Switch the drill from Drilling mode to Hammer mode, firmly secure the screw into the concrete ceiling.

STEP 9

Switch the drill from Hammer mode to Drilling mode, tighten the screw to make it more secure.

STEP 10

Switch the drill to Driver/Screw mode to drill the ceiling for the 3 remaining screw positions. Repeat the above steps for these positions.
