1. Safety Rules
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been turned
off at the circuit breakeror fuse boxbefore beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be
performed by aqualified licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire, do not
use this fanwith any solid-statefan speed controldevice.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the two
steel screws (and lock washers) provided with the fan. 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 ifin doubt.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be
cautious when workingaround or cleaningthe 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.
11. 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 onone side ofthe outlet box.
12. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not
packed with the fan must be CUL Listed and marked suitable for use
with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be CUL General
Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions packaged with the light kits
and switches forproper assembly.
WARNING
TO REDUCETHE RISK OFFIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCKOR PERSONAL
INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKEDACCEPTABLE
FOR FANSUPPORT.
5. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only
CUL Listedoutlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT".
6. The fan must be mounted with aminimum of 7 feet clearance from the
trailing edge ofthe blades tothe floor.
7. Do notoperate the reverseswitch while fan blades are in motion. Fan
must be turned off and blades stopped before reversing blade
direction.

Tools Required
Phillips screwdriver, straight slot
screwdriver, adjustablewrench, step ladder,
and wire cutters.
Mounting Options
If there isn't an existing CUL 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 buildingmaterials. The outlet
box and its support must be able to fully
support the moving weight of the fan (at
least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet
boxes.
Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of different
ways to mountthe outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on asteep, sloped ceiling.
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 yourHampton Bay Retailer).

possible interference from or to other remote
units. The frequency switches on your
receiver and transmitter have been preset at
the factory. Please recheck to make sure the
switches on transmitter and receiver
are set to the same position, any combination
of settings will operate the fan as long as the
transmitter and receiver are set to the same
position.(Figure 9)
Step 1. (Figure 10) Insert the receiver into
the mounting bracket with the flat side of
the receiver facingthe ceiling.
Step 2. (Figure 11) Motor to Receiver
Electrical Connections: Connect the black
wire from the fan to black wire marked "TO

in case the ceiling is lower. In this case,
perform the following steps for correct
installation:
1. Remove the hanger ball from downrod by
loosening the setscrew at the top of the
downrod which holds the hanger ball to
the downrod.
2. Slide the hanger ball down the downrod
and remove thesupport pin.
3. Insert the support pin in the holes at the
top of the 4-1/2" downrod and slide the
hanger ball up the 4-1/2" downrod. Make
sure the support pin is properly seated in
the grooves inthe top ofthe hanger ball.
4. Tightenthe setscrews firmly.
NOTE: Do not installthe decorative scroll if
you plan touse the 4-1/2"downrod.

Step 3. (Figure 11) Receiver to House Supply
Wires Electrical Connections: Connect the
black (hot) wire from the ceiling to the black
wire marked "AC in L" from the receiver.
Connect the white (neutral) wire from the
ceiling to the white wire marked "AC in N"
from the Receiver. Secure the wire connections
with the plastic wire nuts provided.
Step 4. (Figure 11) If your outlet box has a
ground wire (green or bare copper) connect it
To the fan ground wires; otherwise connect the
hanging bracket ground wire to the mounting
bracket. Secure the wire connection with a
plastic nut provided. After connecting the
wires spread them apart so that the green and
white wires are on one side of the outlet box and
black and blue wires are on the other side.
Carefully tuck the wire connections up into the
outlet box.
Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum
distance of 20 feet from the transmitting unit for
proper signal transmission between the
transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.
CAUTION: Do not use with wall light

10.Operating the Transmitter
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height, numberof fans, etc.
The Reverse switch is located on top of the
motor assembly. Slide the switch to the Left
for warm weatheroperation. Slide the switch
to the Rightfor cool weatheroperation.
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before changing
the setting ofthe slide switch.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward air
flow creates a cooling effect as shown in
Figure 18. 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 19. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a lower setting without
affecting your comfort.
Restore power to the ceiling fan and test
for proper operation.
1. "HI, MED, LOW"buttons:
These three buttons are used to set the fan
speed as follows:
LOW=Low speed MED= Medium speed
HI=High speed
2. "OFF" button:
This button turnsthe fan off.
3.The " " button turns the light ON or OFF
and also controls the brightness setting.
Press and release the button to turn the light
ON or OFF. Press and hold the button to set
the desired brightness. The light key has an
auto-resume, it will stay at the same
brightness as thelast time itwas turned off.

Installing the battery:
Install 12V MN21/A23 battery (not
included), to prevent damage to
transmitter, remove the battery if not used
for long periods.

11. Care of Your Fan
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.
