Safety Rules - Read and Save These Instructions
1
To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been turned off
at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
“ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not use this
fan with any solid-state fan speed control device. It will permanently
damage the electronic circuitry.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the screws
provided with the outlet box.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 pounds, Use only UL
Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the
trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
Avoid placing objects in path of the blades.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be
cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
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.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into 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.
All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary before
installation.

Figures 1~3 are examples of different ways to
mount the outlet box.
If there isn't an existing UL listed mounting box,
then read the following instructions. Disconnect
the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building
materials. The outlet box and its support must be
able to fully support the moving weight of the fan
(at least 35 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN
ONLY TO AN OULET BOX MARKED ACCEPT-
ABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE THE
MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE
OULET BOX. OUTLET BOX COMMONLY USED
FOR THE SUPPORT OF LIGHTING FIXTURE
MAY NOT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT
AND MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. CONSULT
A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.

Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when installing
on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle
allowable is 20°. If the canopy touches downrod,
remove the decorative canopy bottom cover and
turn the canopy 180°before attaching the canopy
to the mounting plate.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture
but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation
hanger bar as shown in Figure 4 (available at any
Home Depot store).

REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the
steps below to hang your fan properly.
NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with two types
of hanging assemblies; the standard ceiling
installation using the downrod with ball and socket
mounting, and the "close-to-ceiling" mounting.
The "close-to-ceiling" mounting is recommended
in rooms with less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas
where additional space is desired from the floor to
the fan blades.
When using the standard downrod installation, the
distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan
blades will be approximately 12 inches. The
"close-to-ceiling" installation reduces the distance
from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to
approximately 9 inches.
Once you have decided which ceiling installation
you will use, proceed with the following
instructions. Where necessary, each section of the
instructions will note the different procedures to
follow for the two types of installation.

Carefully lift the fan assembly up to the ceiling
mounting bracket and hang the fan on the tab
provided by utilizing one of the holes at the
outer rim of the ceiling canopy (Figure 12). If
use standard mounting, seat the hanger ball in
the mounting bracket socket. Make sure the tab
on the mounting bracket socket is properly
seated in the groove in the hanger ball (Figure
12).

Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the
center hole in the ceiling mounting bracket as
shown in Figure 11.
Install the ceiling mounting bracket on the
outlet box with the screws and washers
provided with your outlet box (Figure 11).
When using “close-to- ceiling” mounting, it is
important that the mounting bracket be level. If
necessary, use leveling washers (not included)
between the mounting bracket and the outlet
box. Note that the flat side of the mounting
bracket is toward the outlet box. (Figure 11)

Making the Electrical
Connections
WARNING
CHECK TO SEE THAT ALL CONNECTIONS ARE
TIGHT, INCLUDING GROUND, AND THAT NO
BARE WIRE IS VISIBLE AT THE WIRE NUTS.
EXCEPT FOR THE GROUND WIRE.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL DIAGRAMS ARE FOR REFER-
ENCE ONLY. OPTIONAL USE OF ANY LIGHT
KIT SHELL BE UL LISTED AND MARKED
SUITABLE FOR USE WITH THIS FAN.
Connect the fan motor black wire to the supply
black (hot) wire using a wire nut (Figure 13).
Connect the blue wire for light kit to the black
household supply wire.
Turn wire nut connections upward, spreading
them apart so the green (ground) will be on one
side of the outlet box and the white, black and
blue wire will be on the other side, and push
carefully up into the outlet box.

5.
Connect the ground conductor of the 120V
supply (this may be a bare wire or a wire with
green colored insulation) to the green ground
lead(s) of the fan (Figure 13). When using
standard ceiling mounting, there are two green
grounding leads; one from the ceiling mount-
ing bracket and one from the ball/downrod
assembly. When using “Close- to-Ceiling”
mounting, there is only one green ground lead
from the ceiling mounting bracket since the
ball/downrod assembly is not used.
Connect the fan motor white wire to the supply
white (neutral) wire using a wire nut. (Figure
13)

REMEMBER to disconnect the power.
If you feel you do not have enough electrical
wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan
installed by a licensed electrician.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your
household wiring. Use the wire cnuts supplied
with your fan. Secure the wire cnuts with electrical
tape. Make sure there are no loose strands or
connections.
