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 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.

Figures 1~3 are examples of different ways to
mount the outlet box.
If there isn't an existing UL listed mounting box,
then read the following instructions. Disconnect
the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building
materials. The outlet box and its support must be
able to fully support the moving weight of the fan
(at least 35 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.

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 18°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

Blade Balancing
Check that all blade and blade bracket screws
are secure.
Most fan wobble problems are caused when
blade levels are unequal. Check this level by
selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of
one of the blades. Measure from a point on the
center of each blade to the point on the ceiling.
Measure this distance as shown in Figure 14.
Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned
for measurement. Repeat for each blade.
Measurements deviation should be within 1/8˝.
Run the fan for 10 Minutes.
Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the
blade wobble is still noticeable.

The following procedure should correct most fan
wobble. Check after each step.

CIRCUIT BREAKER OR REMOVING THE FUSE
AT FUSE BOX. TURNING POWER OFF USING
THE FAN SWITCH IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO
PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK.
While holding the light kit under your fan,
locate two single white and blue wires in the
switch housing labeled "FOR LIGHT". Make
the polarized plug connections:
- White to white
- Blue to black
Carefully push all wires back into the switch
housing. Attach the light kit fitter by aligning
its keyhole slots with the three screw holes and
the reverse switch on the side of the switch
housing. Tighten the three screws securely to
prevent the light kit from vibrating loose. (Fig.

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 and 4 pulls - Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend
on factors such as the room size, ceiling height,
number of fans, and so on.
Light kit pull chain- it controls the light kit in
"ON" or "OFF".
The slide switch controls directions: forward
(switch down) or reverse (switch up).
WARNING
LOCKING SLOTS OF CEILING CANOPY ARE
PRVIDED ONLY AS AN AID TO MOUNTING. DO
NOT LEAVE FAN ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED
UNTIL ALL FOUR CANOPY SCREWS ARE
ENGAGED AND FIRMLY TIGHTENED.
NOTE
WAIT FOR FAN TO STOP BEFORE REVERSING
THE DIRECTION OF THE BLADE ROTATION.

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.

4.
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 an optional 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.
