Safety Information
To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been
turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code “ANSI/NFPA 70” and local electrical codes. Electrical
installation should be performed by a qualied licensed
electrician.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted
and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 lb (15.9 kg)
or less. Use only UL Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN
SUPPORT.”
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft (2.1 m)
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the oor.
Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items,
be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
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.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should
be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box.
The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor
and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the
outlet box and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the
outlet box.
All set screws must be checked and retightened where
necessary before installation.
Suitable for use with solid-state speed control (MR235A-EL only).

factory for a period of lifetime after the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The manufacturer warrants the light kit (excluding any
glass), to be free from defects in workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the factory for a period of ve years after
the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The manufacturer also warrants that all other fan parts, excluding any glass or acrylic
blades, to be free from defects in workmanship and material at the time of shipment from the factory for a period of two years after the
date of purchase by the original purchaser. We agree to correct such defects without charge or at our option replace with a comparable or

you. The retailer shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with product use or
performance except as may otherwise be accorded by law. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL Listed mounting
box, then install one using the following instructions:
Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off
the circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box (not included) directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials (not
included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully
support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lb.). Do not
use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box (not included).
To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling
joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (not included) as
shown above.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support using the screws provided with the
outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of
lighting xtures may not be acceptable for fan support and
may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualied
electrician.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
Installation
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If
the canopy (C) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly (E),
remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (D) and turn the
canopy (C) 180° before attaching the canopy (C) to the
mounting bracket (A).

8b8a Hanging instructions for
standard mounting
Hanging instructions for
close-to-ceiling mounting
Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole
in the mounting bracket (A).
Attach the mounting bracket (A) on the outlet box by
sliding the mounting bracket (A) over the screws provided
with the outlet box. When using “close-to-ceiling”
mounting, it is important that the mounting bracket (A) be
level. If necessary, use leveling washers (not included)
between the mounting bracket (A) and the outlet box. Note
that the at side of the mounting bracket (A) is toward the
outlet box.
Securely tighten the two mounting screws.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or
other personal injury, mount the fan only to an outlet box or
supporting system marked acceptable for fan support and
use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
WARNING: The tab in the ring must rest in the groove of
the hanger ball (E). Failure to properly seat the tab in the
groove could cause damage to the wiring.
WARNING: The hook is only to hold the fan while attaching
wiring. Failure to hang as instructed may result in the tab
breaking causing the fan to fall. The hook must pass from the
inside to the outside of the canopy.
Carefully lift the fan motor assembly (G) up to the
mounting bracket (A) and seat the hanger ball (E) in the
mounting bracket (A) socket. Make sure the tab on the
mounting bracket (A) socket is properly seated in the
groove in the hanger ball (E). This will help to balance the
ceiling fan.
Carefully lift the fan motor assembly (G) up to the
mounting bracket (A) and hang the fan on the hook
provided using one of the holes at the outer rim of the
canopy (C).

9Making the electrical connections
If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge
or experience, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your household
wiring. Use the plastic wire nuts (AA) with your fan. Secure the
plastic wire nuts (AA) with electrical tape. Make sure there are
no loose strands or connections.
WARNING: Check to see that all connections are tight,
including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
nuts, except for the ground wire.
NOTE: The fan must be installed at a maximum distance of
20 ft. from the remote control for proper signal transmission
between the remote control and the fan's receiving unit.
NOTE: If a longer downrod (not included) is needed, use the
extension cord (DD) to connect with the motor wires and
receiver.
CAUTION: Do not use with a wall light dimmer switch.
Insert the receiver (K) into the mounting bracket (A) with the
at side of the receiver (K) facing the ceiling.
Make wire connections from the fan to the receiver (K).
From fan To receiver
3-pin connector--------------- 3-pin connector
Make wire connections from the receiver (K) and fan to the
outlet box as follows, using the wire nuts (AA).
From receiver To outlet box
Black "AC in L" +
Red wire "for Light" ---------- Black wire (Hot)
White wire "AC in N" --------- White wire (Neutral)
From fan To outlet box
Green wires* ----------------- Green or bare wire (Ground)
* There are two green grounding leads: one from the mounting
bracket (A) and one from the hanger ball/downrod assembly (E) if
installed.
Turn the wire nut connections upward, spreading them
apart so the green (ground) and white wires will be on one
side of the outlet box and the black wire will be on the other
side. Carefully tuck the connections up into the outlet box.
