1. SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
electricity has been turned off at the circuit
breaker or fuse box before beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local
electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified
licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical
shock and fire, do not use this fan with any
solid-state fan speed control device.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, use only the two steel screws (and
lock washers) provided with the outlet box
for mounting to the outlet box. Most outlet
boxes commonly used for the support of
lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced,
consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
5. The outlet box and support structure must
be securely mounted and capable of
reliably supporting a minimum of 50
pounds. Use only CUL Listed outlet boxes
marked FOR FAN SUPPORT.
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum
of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of
the blades to the floor.
7. Do not operate the reverse switch while
the fan blades are in motion. The fan must
be turned off and the blades stopped
before reversing the blades direction.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the
blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
fan and other items, be cautious when
working around or cleaning the fan.
10. Do not use water or detergents when
cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry
dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will
be suitable for most cleaning.
11. After making electrical connections,
spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into the
outlet box. The wires should be spread
apart with the grounded conductor and
the equipment-grounding conductor on
one side of the outlet box.
12. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
Light kits that are not packed with the fan
must be CUL Listed and marked suitable
for use with the model fan you are
installing. Switches must be CUL
General Use Switches. Refer to the
Instructions packaged with the light kits
and switches for proper assembly.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL
INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO OUTLET BOX
MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN
SUPPORT.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE
ARMS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS
BRACKETS) DURING ASSEMBLY OR
AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT INSERT
OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE BLADES.
ATTENTION
Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005,
federal regulations require all ceiling fans
with light kits manufactured or imported
after January 1, 2009, to limit the total
wattage consumed by the light kit to 190
watts. Therefore, this product is equipped
with a 190W limiting device. If lamping
exceeds 190 watts, the light kit will shut off
automatically until the proper wattage of
bulbs are installed. Reset the light kit by
turning it off, replacing the bulbs with the
correct wattage, and then turning the light
kit back on.

Turn on the power and check the operation of
your fan. There are two pull chains available
in your fan:
1. 3-speed pull chain- it controls the fan
speed as follows:
1-Pull = High Speed
2-Pulls = Medium Speed
3-Pulls = Low Speed
4-Pulls = Fan Off
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height, number of fans, and so on.
2. Light kit pull chain- If you have installed an
optional light kit, it controls the light kit in
"ON" or "OFF".
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch down) or reverse (switch up).
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise
direction) A downward airflow creates a
cooling effect as shown in Figure 20. This
allows you to set your air conditioner on a
higher setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise direction) An
upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling
area as shown in Figure 21. This allows you
to set your heating unit on a lower setting
without affecting your comfort.
NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE
CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE
SLIDE SWITCH.
12. OPERATING YOUR FAN

11
IMPORTANT
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU
ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION "MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS".
Here are some suggestions to help you 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 ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use only a
soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning. This could damage the
motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades for additional protection and
enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds
noisy.
Lights shut off
and will not come
back on.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the
switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is
tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware
are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed
controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install
another type of control.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should
not touch the ceiling.
1. This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in excess of
190 watts will disable your ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your light kit you
must turn the power off and re lamp, keeping the wattage under 190 watts.
Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal operation.
