MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or
personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable
for fan support of 35lbs. (15.9kg) or less” and use screws
provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly
used for the support of lighting xtures may not be
acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.
If in doubt, consult a qualied electrician.
If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-Listed
mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:
□Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off
the circuit breakers.
□Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure.
Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box
and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight
of the moving fan (at least 35 lbs. (15.9 kg)). Do not use a
plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box.
If the canopy touches the downrod, then 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 xture but no ceiling joist,
you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above
(available at any Home Depot store).
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain
proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped
ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from
horizontal.

extended ball/downrod (B) provided, you can cut the lead wire
to your desired length (no shorter than 12in.) This will make
extra room in the canopy (C). if you do not wish to cut the
wires, you will need to neatly wrap them.
□Connect the fan motor green wires to the household green or
bare wire using a wire connecting nut (BB).
□Connect the fan motor white to the household white wire
using a wire connecting nut (BB).
□Connect the fan motor black and blue wires to the household
black wire using a wire connecting nut (BB).
□Secure each wire connecting nut (BB) using electrical tape.
□Turn the wire connecting nut (BB) upward and push the wiring
into the outlet box (NN).
□Align the locking slots of the ceiling canopy (C) with the two
screws in the mounting bracket (A). Push up to engage the
slots and turn clockwise to lock in place.
□Firmly tighten the two mounting screws (HH).
□Install the remaining two mounting screws (II) into the holes
in the canopy (C) and tighten rmly.

IMPORTANT: Use the wire connecting nuts (BB) supplied with
your fan. Secure the connectors with electrical tape and ensure
there are no loose strands or connections.
WARNING: Each wire nut supplied with this fan is designed to
accept up to one 12-gauge house wire and two wires from the
fan. If you have larger than 12-gauge house wiring or more
than one house wire to connect to the fan wiring, consult an
electrician for the proper size wire nuts to use.
WARNING: When using the standard ball/downrod mounting, the
tab in the ring at the bottom of the slide-on mounting bracket
must rest in the groove of the hanger ball. Failure to properly
seat the tab in the groove could cause damage to the wiring.

Operating Your 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
room size, ceiling height, number of fans, and so on.
The slide switch controls the direction: forward (switch left) or reverse
(switch right).
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airow creates a cooling effect.
This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without
affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airow moves warm air off of the
ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting
without affecting your comfort.
NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction of blade
rotation.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The fan will not start □Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
□Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
The fan is noisy □Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.
□Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
□Ensure 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 you are using the Ceiling Fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light
bulbs are also secure.
□Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
□Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box.
The fan wobbles □Check that all blade and blade arm 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. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for
each blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. Run the fan for ten
minutes. If the fan continues to wobble please contact Customer Service and a balacing kit will be sent to you at
no charge.
□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 the fan from the ceiling.
□Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage
the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the nish. The
plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
□You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a
light application of shoe polish.
□You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.
WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning
your fan.
