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 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.
WARNING: Use only with light kit marked "Suitable for Use in Wet

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN
ONLY TO AN OULET BOX MARKED ACCEPT-
ABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE THE
MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE
OULET BOX. OUTLET BOX COMMONLY USED

Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when installing
on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle
allowable is 20°. 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
Home Depot retailer).

REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the
steps below to hang your fan properly.
NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with two types
of hanging assemblies; the standard ceiling
installation using the downrod with ball and socket
mounting, and the "close-to-ceiling" mounting.
The "close-to-ceiling" mounting is recommended
in rooms with less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas
where additional space is desired from the floor to
the fan blades.
When using the standard downrod installation, the
distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan
blades will be approximately 12 inches. The
"close-to-ceiling" installation reduces the distance
from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to
approximately 9 inches.
Once you have decided which ceiling installation
you will use, proceed with the following
instructions. Where necessary, each section of the
instructions will note the different procedures to
follow for the two types of installation.

Carefully lift the fan assembly up to the ceiling
mounting bracket and hang the fan on the tab
provided by utilizing one of the holes at the outer
rim of the ceiling canopy (Figure 15). If using the
standard mounting, seat the hanger ball in the
mounting bracket socket. Make sure the tab on
the mounting bracket socket is properly seated in
the groove in the hanger ball (Figure 15).

Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the
center hole in the ceiling mounting bracket as
shown in Figure 14.
Install the ceiling mounting bracket on the
outlet box with the screws and washers
provided with your outlet box (Figure 14).
When using “close-to-ceiling” mounting, it is
important that the mounting bracket be level. If
necessary, use leveling washers (not included)
between the mounting bracket and the outlet
box. Note that the flat side of the mounting
bracket is toward the outlet box. (Figure 14)

Making the Electrical
Connections
WARNING
TO AVOID POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BE
SURE ELECTRICITY IS TURNED OFF AT THE
MAIN FUSE BOX BEFORE WIRING.
If you feel you do not have enough electrical
wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan
installed by a licensed electrician.
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 transmitter and receiver are set to the
same position. (Figure 16).
Insert the receiver into the hanger bracket with
the flat side of the receiver facing the ceiling as
Figure 17.
1.
(Fig. 18) Motor to receiver electrical
connections: Connect the black wire from the
fan to black wire marked "TO MOTOR L".
Connect the white wire from the fan to the
white wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the
receiver. Connect the blue wire from the fan to
the blue wire marked "For Light" from the
receiver. Secure the wire connections with the
plastic wire connecting nuts provided.
(Figure 18) Receiver to house supply wires
electrical connections: Connect the black (hot)
wire from the ceiling to the black wire marked
"AC in L" from he receiver. Connect the white
(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 18) If your outlet box has a ground
wire (green or bare copper) connect it to the fan
ground wires; otherwise connect the hanger
bracket ground wire to the hanger 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.
