PRE-INSTALLATION
DUAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
This ceiling fan is supplied with two types of hanging assemblies: the standard ceiling installation using the downrod
with ball and socket mounting, and the "close-to-ceiling" mounting. The "close-to-ceiling" mounting is recommended
in rooms with less than 8 ft. ceilings or in areas where additional space is desired from the floor to the fan blades.
When using the standard downrod installation, the distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be
approximately 12 in. The "close-to-ceiling" installation reduces the distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan
blades to approximately 9 in.
Once you have decided which ceiling installation you will use, refer to the corresponding sections and procedures during
the assembly period. Where necessary, each section of the instructions will note the different procedures to follow for
the two types of installation.

INSTALLING THE FAN
Tools Required: Phillips screw driver; slotted screw driver; step-ladder; wire cutters; electrical tape.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or
turning off circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box
and its support must be able to fully support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet
box. Do not use a plastic outlet box.
Figure 3, 4 and 5 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
Longer downrods are available from your Aire dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need to install a hanger bar as shown in

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before
wiring.
NOTE:The Aire Control®System for this DC motor fans is equipped with a learning frequency function which has 32
code combinations to prevent potential interference from other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver and
Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. (Fig. 19) No frequency change is necessary, should you desire to
install another Minka Aire DC motor fan within the same home or area with a separate frequency code please see the
"frequency interference" troubleshooting section of this instruction manual to learn how to change the frequency.
The “D (DIMMER)” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The
“ON (ON/OFF)” selection is the light on only (no dimming function) and is to be used with CFL bulbs as CFL bulbs cannot
be dimmed properly. The CFL bulb included with this fan is not dimmable. The switch has to be set at "ON."
Step 1. Connect the ground conductor of the 120V supply (this may be a bare wire or a wire with green colored
insulation) to the green ground lead(s) of the fan. (Figure 20) When using standard ceiling mounting, there are two green
grounding leads; one from the ceiling mounting bracket and one from the ball/downrod assembly. When using
“Flushmount Installation” mounting, there is only one green ground lead from the ceiling mounting bracket since the
ball/downrod assembly is not used.
Step 2. Connect the fan motor white wire to the supply white (neutral) wire using a wire nut. (Figure 20)
Step 3. Connect the fan motor black wire to the supply black (hot) wire using a wire nut. (Figure 20)
Step 4. Turn wire nut connections upward, spreading them apart so the green (ground) will be on one side of the outlet
box, and the white and black wire will be on the other side, and push carefully up into the outlet box.
WARNING:Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
nuts. Except for the ground wire.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock. Do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Remote Control only: Install a A23 12 volt battery (included). To prevent damage to transmitter remove the battery if not
used for long periods of time.
IMPORTANT: This remote control & dc fan motor are designed to perform a one time self calibration test. This test
will begin once a new code has been set, and will last approximately six minutes.
Your DC brushless motor is equipped with a self learning frequency function remote control. Restore power to ceiling fan
and test the transmitter as below for proper operation:
A. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 button:
These six buttons are used to set the fan speed as follows:
1 = minimum speed
2 = low speed
3 = medium low speed
4 = medium speed
5 = medium high speed
6 = high speed
B. Reverse button:
This button is used to change the direction of the rotation of the blades; forward for warm weather or reverse for warm
weather.
C. Button:
This button turns the power Off and On to the Fan.
D. Button:
These buttons turn the light ON or OFF, this fan's light will not dim. The following instructions apply to ceiling fans that
feature a DOWN light ( button) only or ceiling fans that feature an UP light ( button) and a DOWN light ( button)
that are controlled independent of each other.
Press and release the button for the desired light to turn the light ON or OFF. Press and hold the button to set the desired
light brightness. The light will cycle between bright and dim settings as long as the button is pressed. The light key has
an automatic auto-resume feature that allows the light to remain at the same brightness as the last time it was turned
off.
Note: The auto learning function will only mandate within 60 seconds when turning the fan’s AC power ON.
1. Select desired frequency from the back of transmitter.
2. Press the transmitter’s “SET” button, and hold the “SET” button for over 5 seconds. Once the receiver has detected
the frequency, the fan will automatically begin to operate and start to rotate in the counter-clockwise direction and on
the highest RPM for 3 minutes. When counter-clockwise rotation has finished, the fan will automatically reverse to
clockwise direction again to the highest RPM for 3 minutes. Fan will shut off when the self calibration test has finished.
The total self calibration test will last about 6 minutes.
Note: During self calibration test, the remote will be non-function.
Note: The learning frequency function and self calibration test will continue to retain the last set frequency and
calibration set even when the AC power is shut off. If the frequency is changed the self calibration test will occur again.

14
1. Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against obstruction during operation. The motor will get locked
operation and disconnect power after 30 seconds if interruption occurs. Please remove obstacles before re-set.
2. Over 38W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 38W, the receiver’s
power will stop and operation will be immediately discontinued. Turn the receiver power on after 5 seconds.
3. “D” and “ON” dip switch: The “D” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs except for
CFL bulbs. The “ON” selection is For CFL bulbs.
Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height and number of fans.
NOTE: To change the direction of the rotation of the blades the fan must be in operation mode.
Warm Weather (forward)
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 24. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a
warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool Weather (Reverse)
An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 25. This allows you to set your heating unit
on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

CARE OF YOUR FAN
Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.
1. Because of the fan's natural movement some connections may become loose. Check the support connections,
brackets and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from the
ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the year. CAUTION: many common household
cleaning products contain chemicals that could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint free cloth and soapy
water.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light coat of furniture polish for additional protection
and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT
IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
WARNING!
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO

TROUBLESHOOTING
Check to make sure the wall switch is turned on.
Check circuit fuses or breakers.
Caution! Make sure the power is turned off before performing the following steps.
Remove canopy and check wire connections.
Check wall control transmitter connections (if applicable).
Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum distance of 40 feet from the transmitting unit
for proper signal transmission between the transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.
Allow a 24-hour "break in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan will go away
during this time.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade holder to the motor hub is tight.
Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary use the wood screws
provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are tight.
NOTE: All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because wood and plastic blades vary in
density, the fan may wobble even though blades are matched.
Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary use the wood screws
provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are tight.
If a Balancing kit is provided follow the instructions included with the balancing kit to
help correct any excessive wobble.
