SAFETY TIPS.
page 1
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit
panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN
AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp
edges.
2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code,
and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are
different colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at
least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor 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.
4. 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 UL listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT."
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked
"Acceptable for Fan Support," and use the mounting screws provided with 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan
are designed to accept only one12 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 two fan lead wires, consult an electrician
for the proper size wire connectors to use.
5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and
marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL general use
switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.
6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
7. 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, 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.] (Note:This fan is suitable for use with remote control.)
8. Do not operate the reverse switch until fan has come to a complete stop.
9. Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after
installation. Do not insert objects into the path of the blades.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: 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.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are
necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure
that the hanging location allows the blades a
clearance of 7ft. (2.13m) from the floor and 30in.
(76cm) from any wall or obstruction.
This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 400 square
feet (37.2 square meters).
This fan can be mounted with a downrod
on a normal or vaulted ceiling.The hanging length
can be extended by purchasing a longer downrod
(0.5in./1.27cm diameter). After installing hanging
bracket, continue to Section 5 on page 4 for those
instructions. This fan can also be mounted with
flushmount installation only on a normal ceiling.
After installing hanging bracket, continue to Section
6 on page 5 for those instructions.
Installation requires these tools:
Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver,
adjustable pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire
cutters, and rated electrical tape.
Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from breaker
panel and be sure operating light switch is turned to the
OFF position.
WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to
installation may result in serious injury.
Remove existing fixture.
WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be sure the
outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and
can support the full weight of the fan. Ensure outlet box is
clearly marked "Suitable for Fan Support." If not, it must be
replaced with an approved outlet box. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is grounded properly and that a
ground wire (green or bare) is present.
Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original screws,
spring washers and flat washers provided with new or
original outlet box.*If installing on a vaulted ceiling, face
opening of hanging bracket towards high point of ceiling.

Time Saver: Washers for blade screws can be set
on each blade screw prior to installing blades.
Locate 15 blade attachment screws and washers
in hardware pack. Hold blade arm up to blade
and align holes. Insert 3 blade attachment
screws (along with washers) with fingers first
and then tighten screws securely with a Phillips
screwdriver. Repeat for the remaining blades.
Remove blade arm screws and lock washers
from underside of motor. If plastic motor locks
are installed with blade arm screws, discard
plastic motor locks (save blade arm screws and
lock washers to secure blade arms). Align blade
arm holes with motor screw holes and attach
blade arm with lock washers and blade arm
screws. Before securing screws permanently,
repeat with remaining blade arms. Securely
tighten all screws.
Note:Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.
It is recommended that you test fan before
finalizing installation. Restore power from circuit
box and light switch (if applicable).Test fan
speeds with pull chain. (diagram 1) Start at the
OFF position (no blade movement). First pull will
set the fan to HI. Second pull will set the fan to
MEDIUM.Third pull will set the fan to LOW. Fourth
pull will again set the fan to the OFF setting. If fan
does not function, please refer to
"Troubleshooting" section to solve any issues
before contacting Customer Service.
Turn fan completely off before moving the reverse
switch. Set reverse switch to recirculate air
depending on the season:
- DOWN position in summer (diagram 2)
- UP position in winter (diagram 3)
A ceiling fan will allow you to raise your
thermostat setting in summer and lower your
thermostat setting in winter without feeling a
difference in your comfort.
Important: Reverse switch must be set either
completely UP or completely DOWN for fan to
function. If the reverse switch is set in the middle
position (diagram 4), fan will not operate.
Attach pull chain extension supplied or custom
pull chain extension (sold separately) to the end
of the pull chain.
