1. Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off at
the circuit breakeror the fuse box.
2. Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety
information before installing your new fan. Review
accompanying assembly diagrams.
3. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with
local codes, ordinances, or National Electrical Codes.
Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself
wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing
electrical wiring.
4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan
blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a
minimum clearance of 7 feet from the floor and 18
inches from thetip of the blades to the wall.
5. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling outlet box, use
U.L. Listed metal octagonal outlet box marked
"Acceptable for fan support". Secure the box directly to
the building structure. The outlet box and its support
must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at
least 50 lbs.)Do not use a plastic box.
6. Caution: To reduce the risk of personal injury use only
the screws providedwith the outletbox.
7. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is able
to support themoving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs.).

If there isn't an existing mounting box, then read
the following instructions. Disconnect the power
by removing fusesor 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

Note: You may need a longer downrod to maintain
proper blade clearance when installing on a steep,
sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available
from your HamptonBay dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture
but no ceiling joist, you may need to install a
hanger bar as shown in Fig. 4 (available at your
Hampton Bay dealer).

ceiling to the black and blue wires from the fan.
Connect the white (neutral) wire from the ceiling
to the whitewire from the fan. (Fig. 11)
Step 2. If your outlet box has a ground wire (green
or bare copper) connect the fan ground wire from
hanger ball and hanger bracket to it; otherwise
connect the fan ground wire from the hanger ball
and hanger brackettogether.
Step 3. Figures 12 and 13 illustrate the wiring
connections for optional wall control (available at

9. Installing the Light
Kit
While holding the light kit assembly
under your fan, snap together the wire
connection plugs .
NOTE: Before starting installation,
disconnect the power by turning off the
circuit breaker or removing the fuse at fuse
box.
1.
2. Carefully push all wires back into the
switch housing, then install the light kit
assembly onto the mounting plate with 3
screws provided. Be sure to tighten all
screws. (Fig.17)
3. Install 2 x 13 Watt compact fluorescent
bulbs (included).
4. Remove the metal nut, glass cap and finial
from the light kit. Raise the glass shade
up against the light kit. Place the metal
nut with rubber on the top over the stem
and turn it clockwise until it locks up
against the glass shade. Do not
overtighten. (Fig. 17)
5. Raise the glass cap and final against the
glass shade and secure it to the stem by
turning the final clockwise until snug. Do
not overtighten. (Fig.17)
Note: Make sure to leave enough space
between the fan pull chain and the bulbs so
the chain doesn'trub against any of the bulbs.
8. Installing the Mounting
Plate
Step 1. Remove 1 of the 3 screws from the
mounting ring and loosen the other 2 screws.
(Do not remove)
Step 2. Place the key holes on the mounting
plate over the 2 screws previously loosened from
the mounting ring, turn mounting plate until it
locks in place at the narrow section of the key
holes. Secure by tightening the 2 screws
previously loosened and the one previously
removed. (Fig. 16)

Speed Pull ChainOperation:
This pull chaincontrols the fan speed as follows;
:
1-Pull = HighSpeed
2-Pulls = MediumSpeed
3-Pulls = LowSpeed
4-Pulls = FanOff
The reverse slide switch located on the side of the
switch housing controls the direction of the blade
rotation:.
Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on
factors such as room size, ceiling height and number
of fans, etc.
NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before changing the
setting of theslide switch
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 warmer
setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather (Reverse) An upward airflow moves
warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 20.
This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler
setting without affecting your comfort.

11. Care of Your Fan
Here are some suggestions to help
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 fromthe ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help
maintain its newappearance over the years.
Use only a soft brush or lint free cloth to
avoid scratching the finish. Plated finishes
are sealed with lacquer to minimize
discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use
water when cleaning, this could damage
the motor, wood blades or possibly cause
an electrical shock.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer
blades; you can apply a light coat of
furniture polish for additional protection
and enhanced beauty. Cover small
scratches with a light application of shoe
polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster
to remove dustfrom the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor
has permanently lubricatedbearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades,
clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft
cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS
SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT
GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER.

12.Troubleshooting
Problem
Fan will notstart
Fans/Light TurnOn
and Off intermittently
Fan Sounds Noisy
Fan Wobble.
Solution
1. Check tomake sure the wall switch isturned on
2. Check circuitfuses or breakers
Caution! Make sure thepower is turned off before performing the followingsteps;
3. Remove canopyand check wire connections
NOTE: All blade setsare grouped by weight. Because woodand plastic bladesvary in density, the fanmay
wobble even thoughblades are matched.
1. Make sureall blade attachment screws are tight.
2. Make sureOutlet box is secured to buildingstructure, if necessaryuse the wood screws provided tofurther
Secure outlet boxto joist.
3. Make sureHanger Bracket is secure to theoutlet box, screwsare tight.
4. Use thebalancing kit provided if the wobbleis excessive (followinstructions included with balancing kit).
1. Make sureall motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make surethe screws that attach the fanblade bracket tothe motor hub is tight.
3. Make surewire nut connections are not rubbingagainst each otheror the interior wall of theswitch housing.
CAUTION: Make suremain power isoff.
4. Allowa 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noiseassociated with a new fan disappearduring this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb
is also secure.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. If you have installed this
type of control,choose and install another type ofcontrol.
7. Make surethe upper canopy is a shortdistance from theceiling. It should not touch theceiling.
