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 specic legal

MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock,
or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box
marked ‘’acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9
kg) or less’’, and use the 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.). 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.

NOTE: The frequencies on your receiver and hand unit have
been preset at the factory. Before installing the receiver,
make sure the dip switches on the receiver and hand unit are
set to the same frequency. The dip switches on the hand unit
are located inside the battery compartment.
NOTE: The switch marked “O/D” controls the dimming
function of the lights. If using non-dimmable bulbs, use a
ballpoint pen or small screwdriver to set the switch to “O” to
disable the dimming function. If using dimmable bulbs, set
the switch to “D” to enable the dimming function.
Setting the code on the remote
control and receiver
□Remove the remote control (J) battery cover by pressing
rmly on the arrow and sliding the cover off.
□Slide the dip switches (ZZ) to your choice of either up or

position as set on the remote control (J).
□Install the 23A 12V batteries (included).
□Replace the battery cover on the remote control (J).
□Insert the silicone rubber stopper (OO) into the hole on the
receiver (K) to cover the dip switches.
NOTE: The battery will weaken with age and should be
replaced before leaking takes place, as this will damage the
hand unit. Dispose of the used battery properly and keep the
battery out of the reach of children.

Operating Your Fan and Remote Control
Remote Control - Your fan is equipped with a remote control to operate
the speed and lights of your new ceiling fan. For more information
on how to install the remote control, see the remote control instruction
along with the remote control components.
Speed setting for warm or cool weather depends on factor such as the
room size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on.
The fan shipped from the factory with the reversing switch positioned
to circulate air downward. If airow is desired in the opposite direction,
turn your fan off and wait for the blades to stop turning, then slide the
reversing switch (located in switch cup) to opposite position, and turn
fan on again. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction and
reverse airow.
1. Speed - The remote features Low, Med, Hi and Off buttons to select
the desired speed of operation and turn the fan On or Off.
2. Light - To control the light kit, the remote features a Light/Dimmer
button.
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 the
ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting
without affecting your comfort.
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before reversing the direction of blade rotation.
1. Power ON/OFF - Press and release the button to turn the fan and light on or off.
2. Fan Speed - LEDs on the fan speed button will illuminate to the corresponding speed.
- Press and release 1 time - turns the fan on high speed.
- Press and release 2 times - turns the fan on medium speed.
- Press and release 3 times - turns the fan on low speed.
- Press and release 4 times - turns the fan off.
3. Light ON/OFF
□Press and release the button to turn the light on or off.
□Press and hold the button to activate the dimmer function (as long as you have NOT
previously set O/D dip switch in your remote to the “ON” position).

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.
□Check battery in transmitter.
□Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 feet.
□Ensure the dip switches settings are in the same on the transmitter and receiver.
□Remember to turn power off power supply before checking the dip switches settings.
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. If the fan continues to
wobble please contact Customer Service and a balancing 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 fan from 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 if off before cleaning
your fan.
