Safety Rules - Read and Save These Instructions
1
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 UL
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 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

Operating Your Fan
Warm weather - (Counter-Clockwise direction)
A downward air flow creates a cooling effect as
shown in Figure 18. This allows you to set your air
conditioner on a higher setting without affecting
your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise direction) An upward
air flow moves warm air off the ceiling are as
shown in Figure 19. This allows you to set your
heating unit on a lower setting without affecting
your comfort.
Turn on the power and check the operation of the
fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed as
follows:
1 pull - High
2 pulls - Medium
3 pulls - Low
4 pulls - Off.
Light kit pull chain- it controls the light kit in
"ON" or "OFF".
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,
number of fans, and so on.
The Reverse switch is located on the switch
housing. Slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch down) or reverse (switch up).
NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE CHANGING
THE SETTING OF THE SLIDE SWITCH.

WARNING
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL
PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPY ANY REPAIRS. REFER
TO THE SECTION, “MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS”.
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. Do not use
water when cleaning. 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.

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain
your fan.
Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check 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 bracket to the
motor hub is tight.
Make sure 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 screws securing
the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also
secure.
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 rubber isolator
pads are used between mounting bracket and outlet box.
This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device.
Lamping in excess of 190 watts will disable your ceiling
fan's light kit. To reset your light kit you must turn the
power off and relamp, keeping the wattage under 190 watts.
Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal
operation.
