costs of removing and reinstalling the product are your responsibility. Damage to any part such as by accident, misuse, improper
installation or by affixing any accessories, is not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions this warranty does not
cover any changes in brass finish, including rusting, pitting, corroding, tarnishing or peeling. Brass finishes of this type give the longest
useful life when protected from varying weather conditions. A certain amount of “wobble” is normal and should not be considered a
defect. Servicing performed by unauthorized persons shall render the warranty invalid. There is no other express warranty. We hereby
disclaim any and all warranties, including but not limited to those of merchantability and fitness 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 specified 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 specific 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.

Operation (continued)
NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction
of the blade rotation.
REVERSE SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The reverse switch is located on the surface of the motor housing.
Slide the switch to the left for warm weather operation. Slide the
switch to the right for cool weather operation.
Warm weather - (Counterclockwise Direction) A downward air flow
creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner
on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise Direction) An upward air flow moves
warm air off the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on
a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).
Make sure the frequency switches are set correctly.
The fan wobbles.
The remote control is
not working.
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 fan motor assembly.
Check to make sure the frequency 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 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.
The fan will not start.
The fan sounds noisy.
Troubleshooting
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.
Care and Cleaning
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 finish. 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.
Do
Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
