Hanging the Fan
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"
installation. The "close-to-ceiling" installation
is recommended in rooms with less than 8-feet
ceilings or in areas where additional space is
desired from the floor to the fan blades. When
using the standard 4" downrod, the distance
from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades
will be approximately 12 inches. When using
the optional 6" downrod, thisdistance will be 14
inches. The "close-to-ceiling" installation
reduces this distance to 8-inches. Once you have
selected which mounting system 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 mounting.
CHANGING THE DOWNROD (OPTIONAL)

Figure 16
All blades are grouped by weight. Because
natural woods very in density, the fan may
wobble even though the blades are weight
matched.
The following procedure should correct most
fan wobble. Check after each step.
1. Check that all blade and blade bracket screws
are secure.
2. Most fan wobble problems are caused when
blade levels are unequal. Check this level by
selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of
one of the blades. Measure this distance as
shown in Figure 16. Rotate thefan until the next
blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for
each blade. The distance should be equal within
1/8".

NOTE: Before starting installation,
disconnect the power by turningoff the circuit
breaker or removing the fuseat fuse box.
Turning power off using the fan switch is
not sufficient to preventelectric shock.
1. Attach the light kit to the switch housing by
feeding the light kit wires (black and white)
through the hole of switch housing and then
screw it onto the switch housing by nut &
lock washer. Be sure it is tight enough to
prevent light kit from vibrating loose. (Fig.
17)
2. Locate two single white and blue wires in
the switch housing labeled FOR LIGHT
3. Make the polarized plugconnections:
- White to white
- Blue to black
4. While holding the light fixture under your

NOTE
WAITFOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE
CHANGING THE SETTING OF THE
SLIDE SWITCH.
Turn on the power and check the operation of
your fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed
as follows: 1 pulls- High, 2 pulls-Medium, 3
pulls- Low, and 4pulls-Off.
Speed settings for warm or coolweather depend
on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,
number of fans,and so on.
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch left) orreverse (switch right).
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward
airflow creates a cooling effect as shown
in Figure 19. This allows you to set your
air conditioner on a higher setting without
affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling
area as shown in Figure 20. This allows
you to set your heating unit on a lower
setting without affecting your comfort.
11.Operating Your Fan
Figure 19
Figure 20

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 sealed with a
lacquer to minimize discoloration or
tarnishing. Do not use water when
cleaning. This could damage the
motor, or the wood, or possibly cause
an electrical shock.
3. 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 ofshoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan.
The motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
