Safety Information
NOTE: Suitable for use in DAMP locations.
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.

disclaim any and all warranties, including but not limited to those of merchantability and tness for a particular purpose to the extent
permitted by law. The duration of any implied warranty which cannot be disclaimed is limited to the time period as specied in the
express warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to
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
damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives specic legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state. This warranty supersedes all prior warranties. Shipping costs for any return of product as part of a
claim on the warranty must be paid by the customer.

Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s
natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the nish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
(Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
(Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
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.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade 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 the ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware is secured tightly.
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket
and outlet box.
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. 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 in.
If all deviations are less than 1/8 in. and the fan continues to wobble, please call Customer Service
(1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order a complimentary blade balancing kit.
If deviation is greater than 1/8 in., please call Customer Service (1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order complimentary
replacements of your brackets.
The fan will not start.
The fan sounds noisy.
The fan wobbles.
