1. Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off at the
circuit breaker ofthe 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 the tipof the bladesto the wall.
5. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling fan outlet box, use
a 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
pounds) Do notuse a plasticbox
6. Caution: To reduce the risk of injury use only the screws
provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock
washers provided withthe fan.
7. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is able
to support themoving weight ofthe fan (at least 50 pounds).

If there isn't an existing 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 50 lbs.). Use a U. L. Listed metal outlet
box. Do notuse a plasticoutlet box.
Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to
mount the outletbox.
Note: You may need alonger downrod tomaintain
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 our
Hampton Bay dealer).

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical
shock be sure electricity is turned off at the
main fuse orbreaker box beforewiring.
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 setto the samecodes (Fig. 11)
Step 1. Insert Receiver into Hanger Bracket
with the flat side of the Receiver facing the
ceiling. (Fig. 12)
Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical
Connections: Connect the WHITE wire from
the fan to the WHITE wire marked "TO
MOTOR N" from the Receiver. Connect the
BLACK wire fromthe fan to the BLACK Wire
marked "TO MOTOR L" from the Receiver.
Connect the BLUE wire from the fan to the
BLUE wire marked "For Light" from the
Receiver. NOTE: If your ceilingfan features
an UP Light: Connect the ORANGE wire
from the fan to the ORANGE wire marked
"For Up Light"from the Receiver. Otherwise
disregard this step and proceed to secure all
wire connections with the plastic wire nuts
provided. (Fig. 13)
connectors
Step 3. Receiver to House Supply Wires
Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE
wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the
WHITE wire marked "AC in N" from the
receiver. Connect the BLACK wire (Hot)
from the outlet box to the BLACK wire
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 wirenut provided. (Fig.13 )
After all are made, checkto make
sure there are no loose strands. As an
additional precaution we suggest to secure
the plastic wire connectors to the wires with
electrical tape.

Figure 19
Installing the battery:
Install 9 volt battery (not included), to
prevent damage to transmitter, remove the
battery if not used for long periods. (Fig. 19)
Restore power to ceiling fan and test for
proper operation.
1. " LO, MED,HI" buttons:
These three buttons are used to set the fan
speed as follows:
LO= Low speed MED= Medium speed
HI= High speed
2. "FAN OFF" button:
This button turns the fanoff.
3. The "LIGHT" button turns the light ON or
OFF.
NOTE: This fan and the bulb provided
are designed NOT to dim.
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 21. 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 asshown
in Figure 22. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a lower setting without
affecting your comfort.

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. 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.
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.
