WARNING: To avoid possible electrical
shock be sure electricity is turned off at the
main fuse or breaker box before wiring.
NOTE: The Hand Held Remote or Wall
Control units included with your ceiling fan
are equipped with 16 code combinations to
prevent possible interference from or to other
remote units. The frequency switches on your
Receiver and Transmitter units have been
preset at the factory, please re-check to make
sure the switches on both units are set to the
same positions. The frequency settings should
be changed only in case of interference or if a
second or more remote controlled ceiling fans
are installed in the same structure. Any code
combination will operate the ceiling fan and
light as long as the Receiver and Transmitter
units are set to the same codes (Fig. 11)

marked "AC in L" from the receiver. Secure
all wire connections with the plastic wire
nuts provided. (Fig. 13 )
Step 4. If your outlet box has a GROUND
wire (Green or Bare Copper) connect this
wire to the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket
Ground wires. If your outlet box does not
have a Ground Wire, then connect the
Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground
Wires together. Secure wire connection with
the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 13 )
After all connectors are made, check to make
sure there are no loose strands. As an
additional precaution we suggest to secure

Here are some suggestions to help you
maintain your fan
1.Because of the fan's natural movement,
some connections may become loose. Check
the support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are
secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan
from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help
maintain its new appearance over the years.
Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to
avoid scratching the finish. The plating is
s e a l e d w i t h a l a c q u e r t o m i n i m i z e
discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water
when cleaning. This could damage the motor,
or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical
shock.
3. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to
avoid scratching the finish. The plating is
s e a l e d w i t h a l a c q u e r t o m i n i m i z e
discoloration or tarnishing.
4. You can apply a light coat of furniture
polish to the wood blades for additional
protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small
scratches with a light application of shoe
polish.
