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 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 of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less" 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 corresponding 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 fire 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.] (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.

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.
Arrange electrical wiring around the back of the hanging
bracket and away from the hanging bracket opening.
*Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware
when installing the hanging bracket as this will support the fan.
To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure
that the hanging location allows the blades a
clearance of 7 feet (2.13m) from the floor and
30in. (76 cm) from any wall or obstruction.
This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 400 square
feet (37.2 square meters).
Installation requires these tools:
Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver,
adjustable pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire
cutters, and rated electrical tape.
This fan can be mounted with a downrod
on a regular (no-slope) or vaulted ceiling. The
hanging length can be extended by purchasing
a longer downrod (0.5in./1.27cm diameter).

underside of motor in order to remove blue motor
stabilization plate. (Blue motor stabilization plate may be
discarded once removed but save blade arm screws and
lock washers to secure blade arms).
Tip: To prepare for threading electrical wires through
downrod, apply a small piece of electrical tape to the ends
of the electrical wires--this will keep the wires together
when threading them through the downrod.
Locate canopy cover in hardware pack. Loosen yoke set
screws and nuts in motor housing yoke and remove pin
and clip from motor housing yoke. Slide downrod through
canopy, canopy cover and yoke cover. [Note: Canopy cover

10.Testing Your Fan.
It is recommended that you test fan before
finalizing installation. Restore power from circuit
box and light switch (if applicable). Test fan
speeds with the pull chain. Start at the OFF
position (no blade movement). First pull will set
the fan to HI. Second pull will set the fan to
MEDIUM-HI.Third pull will set the fan to
MEDIUM-LOW. Fourth pull will the fan to LOW.
Fifth pull will again set the fan to OFF setting.
(diagram 1) 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:
