fire, electric shock or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked acceptable for fan
support with the screws
provided with the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of personal injury, do not bend
the blade arms (also referred
to as flanges), when installing
the brackets, balancing the
blades or cleaning the fan. Do
not insert foreign objects in-
between rotating fan blades.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or personal
injury, mount to outlet box
marked “acceptable for fan
support of 15.9 kg (35 lb.) or
less” and use mounting screws
provided with the outlet box.
Most outlet boxes commonly
used for the support of light

replaced. Due to the complexity
of the installation of this fan, a
qualified licensed electrician is
strongly recommended.

4. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only
the screws provided with the outlet box.
5. The weight of the fan is 6.7 kg (14.77 lb). The outlet box
and support structure must be securely mounted and capable
of reliably supporting a minimum of 15.9 kg (35 lb.). Use only
cUL Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”

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 and ungrounded
conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
11. All screws must be checked and re-tightened where
necessary during installation.

Slope
2. Tape a sign to the panel warning others to leave
the circuit alone while you work.
3. Before touching any wire, use a voltage tester to
make sure it’s not live.
4. Whenever you check for voltage in a receptacle,
check both outlets; each may be controlled by
a separate wiring circuit .
5. When replacing fuses, turn off the main power
first . Make sure your hands and feet are dry, and
place one hand behind your back to prevent
electricity from making a complete circuit through
your chest. Touch a plug fuse only by its insulated
rim.
6. Remove cartridge fuses with fuse puller.
7. Use tools with insulated handles and ladders
made of wood or fiberglass.

Remote Control Pairing Instructions
REMOTE CONTROL PAIRING INSTRUCTIONS:
Important Note : By default , every fan has been pre-programmed at the factory and should be
fully functional once installation is completed. There is no need to perform the pairing process.
Make sure all wiring connections have been properly made and are secure.
Make sure batteries are installed correctly in the transmitter.
Make sure batteries have a full charge or replace with new batteries.
Make sure all switches of the power supply to the fan motor are turned on.
Should you find the fan or remote control not working or not fully functional after installation or during
use, pairing of the remote control can be done by following the below simple procedures.
Note, however, that there could be other reasons as to why a fan or a remote control is not working:
PROCEDURES FOR PAIRING RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER:
The remote is not functioning properly, and you want to reset a fan remote control, or
You are replacing the original transmitter or receiver, or
You have multiple ceiling fans of the same model in one location and you wish to be able to control them
with one remote.
IF USING ONE REMOTE CONTROL TO CONTROL MULTIPLE FANS
1. Turn OFF the power/isolation switch to ALL fans that you would like to program to the same
hand held remote.
2. Remove the battery cover to access the "Sync" switch on the hand held remote.
3. Install two 1.5 V AAA batteries and make sure the polarity of the batteries is correct .
4. Turn on the power/isolation switch to ALL fans.
5. Press the "Sync" switch with the corner of the battery cover (you can also use a small screwdriver
or ballpoint pen) to change the frequency settings within 30 seconds after restoring the power.
The lights will ash (on/o ) 3 times and remain bright , then the pairing process is complete.
6. Try different speed settings on the transmitter to ensure all the fans are now fully functional. If not ,
repeat the process starting from Step 1 again.
TO RESET INDIVIDUAL REMOTE CONTROL FOR EACH FAN/INSTALLING A NEW RECEIVER
Note: If you have more than one fan of the same model but wish to only perform the pairing on
one fan, follow the same steps starting from step 1 to step 6. Make sure to only power ON one
fan at a time, and power OFF all the nearby fans to avoid picking up the same signal.
1. Turn OFF the power/isolation switch to the fan.
2. Remove the battery cover to access the "Sync" switch on the hand held remote.
3. Install two 1.5 V AAA batteries and make sure the polarity of the batteries is correct .
4. Turn on the power/isolation switch to the fan.
5. Press the "Sync" switch with the corner of the battery cover (you can also use a small screwdriver
or ballpoint pen) to change the frequency settings within 30 seconds after restoring the power.
The light will ash (on/o ) 3 times and remain bright, then the pairing process is complete.
6. Try dierent speed settings on the transmitter to ensure the fan is now fully functional. If not ,
repeat the process starting from Step 1 again.
