Safety Rules - Read and Save These Instructions
To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure 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 70-1999” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation
should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not use this
fan with any solid-state fan speed control device. It will permanently
damage the electronic circuitry.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the screws
provided with the outlet box.
The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 pounds, Use only NOM
Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT”.
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the
trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
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 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.

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°. If the canopy touches downrod,
remove the decorative canopy bottom cover and
turn the canopy 180°before attaching the canopy
to the mounting plate.
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 any

(neutral) wire from the ceiling to the white wire
marked "AC in N" from the receiver. Secure
the wire connections with the plastic wire
connecting nuts provided.
(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.

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 wire nuts supplied with
your fan. Secure the wire nuts with electrical tape.
Make sure there are no loose strands or
connections.
This remote control unit is equipped with 16 code
combinations to prevent 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 the transmitter and the
receiver are set to the same position, any
combination of settings will operate the fan as
long as the transmitterand receiver are set to the
same position. (Figure 9)

Touching Ceiling
Blade Balancing
Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws
are secure (most fan wobble problems are
caused by loose parts). Once the fan is properly
installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to
let the fan self-adjust.
If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10
minutes, verify blade level using the following
process:
Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of
one of the blades, then select any fan blade and
measure from the center of the selected blade
to the point on the ceiling (as shown in Figure
16). Rotate the fan until the next blade is
positioned and repeat the measurement using
the same point from the ceiling for every blade.
Measurement deviations should be within 1/8”.
If all deviations are less than 1/8” and the fan
continues to wobble, please call Customer
Service (01-800-681-9321) to order a
complimentary Blade Balancing Kit.
If deviation is greater than 1/8”, please call
Customer Service (01-800-681-9321) to order
complimentary replacements of your brackets.

All blades are grouped by weight during assembly.
Because natural woods vary 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.

Installing the Light Kit
Remove the 1 of 3 screws from the posts of the
mounting plate and keep it for future use.
Loosen the other 2 screws. (Do not remove)
While holding the light plate under your fan,
locate two single white and black wires in the
switch housing labeled FOR LIGHT. Make the
polarized plug connections:
- White to white
- Black to black
Place the key holes on the light plate over the 2
screws previously loosened, turn the light 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. 18)
Install 3 x 40W candelabra bulbs (not
included). (Fig. 19)
Raise the glass shade up against the light kit
and secure it to the fan by turning glass
counterclockwise until snug. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN. (Fig. 19)

Install 12V MN21/A23 battery (included), to
prevent damage to the transmitter, remove the

( WARNING: May explode or leak if
recharged, disposed of in fire or dissected. Do not
ingest.)

Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,
number of fans, etc.
The reverse switch is located on the top of motor
housing. Slide the switch to the left for warm
weather operation. Slide the switch to the right for
cool weather operation.
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise direction)
A downward air flow creates a cooling effect.(Fig.
23) This allows you to set your air conditioner on
a higher setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise direction) An upward
airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area. (Fig.
24) This allows you to set your heating unit on a
lower setting without affecting your comfort.

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.)
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.
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.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has
permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

4.
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain
your fan.
Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections
in the switch housing.
Check to make sure the dip switches from the remote control and
receiver are set to the same frequency.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade arm to the motor hub are
tight.
Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other
or the interior wall of the switch housing.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a
new fan disappear during this time.
If using ceiling fan light kit, check that the light bulb is secure.
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It
should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure the ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used
between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control(s).
Make sure the frequency switches are set correctly.
