1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity
has been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box
before beginning.
2. 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
qualied licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do
not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
4. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only
the screws provided with the outlet box.
5. The outlet box and support structure must be securely
mounted and capable of reliably supporting 35 lbs. (15.9
kg). Use only UL Listed outlet boxes marked “Acceptable

wire cutters.
Mounting Options
If there isn’t an existing outlet 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

moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.)
Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 are examples of different
ways to mount the outlet box.
Outlet Box
Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when install-
ing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum
angle allowable is 30˚. If the canopy touches
downrod, remove the decorative canopy
bottom cover and turn the canopy 180˚ before
attaching the canopy to the mounting plate.
Outlet Box
To hang your fan where there is an existing
xture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4
(available at your Hampton Bay retailer).
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT TO
OUTLET BOX MARKED “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN
SUPPORT OF 35LBS. (15.9 KG) OR LESS”, AND
USE SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET
BOX. OUTLET BOXES COMMONLY USED FOR

outlet box, sliding the mounting plate over
the two screws provided with the outlet box
(Figure 9). If necessary, use leveling wash-
ers (not included) between the mounting
plate and the outlet box. Note that the at
side of the mounting plate is to be toward
the outlet box.
3. Securely tighten the two mounting screws.
4. Carefully lift the fan assembly up to the ceil-
ing mounting plate. Make sure the tab on the
mounting plate socket is properly seated in
the groove in the hanger ball.
Making the Electrical
Connections
REMEMBER to disconnect the power. If
you feel you do not have enough electrical
wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan
installed by a licensed electrician.
Follow these steps to connect the fan and
receiver to your household wiring (or fol-
low the instructions included along
with the remote control). Use the wire
connection nuts supplied with your fan. Se-
cure the wire connection nuts with electrical
tape. Make sure there are no loose strands or
connections.
1. Connect the ground conductor of the 120v
supply (this may be a bare wire or a wire
with green colored insulation) to the green
ground lead(s) of the fan (Figure 11).
2. Connect the fan motor white wire to the
receiver white wire using a wire nut.
3. Connect the fan motor black wire to the
receiver black wire using a wire nut.
4. Connect the fan motor blue wire to the
receiver blue wire using a wire nut.
5. Connect the receiver red wire to the supply
black (hot) wire using a wire nut.
ELECTRICAL DIAGRAMS ARE FOR REFERENCE
ONLY. OPTIONAL USE OF ANY LIGHT KIT SHALL
BE UL LISTED AND MARKED SUITABLE FOR
USE WITH THIS FAN.
6. Connect the receiver white wire to the sup-
ply white wire (neutral) wire using a wire
nut.
7. After connecting the wires, spread them
apart so that the green and white wires are
on one side of the outlet box and the black
wire is on the other side.
8. Turn the wire connecting nuts upward and
push the wiring into the outlet box.

Finishing the Fan
Installation
1. Align the four screw holes in the canopy
with the four screw holes in the mounting
plate.
2. Secure the canopy in place by using the four
mounting screws that were removed in step
2 as described on page 4.
3. You may now proceed to install the decora-
tive support rods.
Installing the Light
Kit/ Glass Shade
REMEMBER to disconnect the power.
THE GLASS IS FRAGILE, USE CARE
WHEN INSTALLING THE LIGHT KIT AND
THE GLASS SHADE.
1. Remove the three mounting screws on the
light kit switch cup.
2. Connect the wires exiting the light kit brack-
et below the fan motor with the wires from
the light kit switch cup, black to blue and
white to white (Figure 12).
3. Carefully push all the wires into the light kit
switch cup.
NOTE: ALLOW THE BULBS TO COOL
COMPLETELY BEFORE TOUCHING OR
REPLACING THE BULBS TO AVOID ACCI-
DENTAL BURNING OF THE SKIN.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE FINIAL,
OVERTIGHTENING THE FINIAL MAY
CAUSE THE GLASS TO BREAK.
4. Slide the light kit switch cup and secure it to
the light kit bracket using the three screws
removed in step 1.
5. Remove the nial, hex nut and rubber wash-
er on the bottom of the light kit assembly.
6. With the power off, insert the light bulbs
into the light kit sockets, Max. 60 watt can-
delabra base bulbs provided.
7. Raise the glass shade up against the light
plate of the fan motor assembly. Place the
rubber washer and then the hex nut removed
in step 5. Firmly tighten the hex nut to hold
the glass bowl in place (Figure 12).
8. Re-install and nger tighten the nial.
OVER LAMPING THE FAN WILL RESULT IN
THE FAN LIGHTS SHUTTING DOWN UNTIL THE
PROPER WATTAGE OF BULBS ARE INSTALLED.
RESET THE LIGHTS BY TURNING OFF, RE-
PLACE BULBS WITH THE CORRECT WATTAGE
BULBS,TURN POWER ON.

Blade Balancing
All blades are grouped by weight. Because nat-
ural woods vary in density, the fan may wobble
even though the blades are weight matched. The
following procedure should correct most fan
wobble. Check after each step.
1. Check that all blade and blade bracket
screws are secure.
2. 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 13. Rotate the fan until the next blade
is positioned for measurement. Repeat for
each blade. Measurement deviations should
within 1/8”. Run the fan for 10 minutes.
3. If the fan continues to wobble please contact
Customer Service and a balacing kit will be
sent to you at no charge.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS WHILE
INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN
OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING BLADES.
