WARNING
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn o the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin fan
installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.
• To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan Support of
15.9 kg (35 lb) or less," and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of lighting xtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualied electrician if in
doubt.
• To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only
one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one
house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
• To reduce the risk of re or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device or control fan speed
with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from
fan.]
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blades during assembly or after installation.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the fan, do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are
rotating.
• To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the fan, including the blades.
• To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
• This fan MUST be installed with the safety cable provided with the fan. Failure to use the safety cable provided may result in
personal injury, damage to the fan or damage to other property.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than those provided with
this fan will void the warranty.
CAUTION
• To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
• Changes or modications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment. [The equipment refers to the remote and/or wall control and/or LED light kit.]

(2.13 meters) of clearance between the oor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades
are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other upright structures.
3. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds
(16 kilograms). The outlet box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CUL in Canada or UL in USA
listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT."
4. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
5. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
6. 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 opposite
sides of the outlet box.
7. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop. [Note: If using remote control with reverse
capability, reverse fan blade direction only when on LOW speed.]
8. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be
