SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, install or operate the
product. If you have any questions regarding the product, please call customer service at
1-800-527-1292, 8:30 a.m.- 5:00 p.m., CST, Monday - Friday.
• Do not discard fan carton or foam inserts. Should this fan need to be returned to the factory for
repairs, it must be shipped in its original packaging to ensure proper protection against damage that
might exceed the initial cause for return.
• Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical
Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring handbook,
available at Lowe's, if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the blades to
the floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.
• After you install the fan, make sure that all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.
• The net weight of this fan including the light kit is: 13.01 lbs. (5.9 kg).

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 15.9 KG (35 LBS) OR LESS" and use
mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure.
The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least
35 lbs.). Do NOT use a plastic outlet box.
To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with
sharp edges.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this
fan are designed to accept only one 12 gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your
house wire is larger than 12 gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan
lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the fan with any solid state speed
control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when
installing them, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the
rotating fan blades.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts
OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
WARNINGS
CAUTIONS
Before proceeding, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid
electrical shock.
Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the
accompanying assembly diagrams.

Before beginning assembly and installation of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare
parts with package contents list and hardware contents above. If any part is missing or
damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
Estimated Assembly Time: 120 minutes
Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Electrical Tape, Phillips Screwdriver, Pliers, Safety
Glasses, Stepladder and Wire Strippers
Helpful Tools (not included): AC Tester Light, Tape Measure, Do-It-Yourself-Wiring Handbook
(available at Lowe’s), and Wire Cutters
Bulbs Required (included): 3 candelabra base 40-watt max. bulbs
DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to
the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious
injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan
after installation is complete.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is
present.
After opening top of carton, remove mounting hardware package from foam inserts. Remove motor
from packing and place on carpet or on foam to avoid damage to finish.
CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to ensure that they
are secured. All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary, before installation.

1. Choose wiring diagram (Fig. 1A, Fig. 1B or Fig. 1C)
that fits your situation and make appropriate wiring
connections as follows: [NOTE: For each wire
connection below, use one of the wire connectors
(CC) provided, making sure to screw wire connector
(CC) on in a clockwise direction.]
1A. FAN AND LIGHT CONTROLLED BY PULL
CHAINS: Connect BLACK and BLUE wire from fan
to BLACK wire from ceiling. Connect WHITE wire
from fan to WHITE wire from ceiling. Connect all
GROUND (GREEN) wires together from fan (on
motor assembly and mounting bracket) to
BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling. (Fig. 1A)
1B. FAN CONTROLLED BY PULL CHAIN, LIGHT
BY WALL SWITCH: If you intend to control the fan
light with a separate wall switch, connect BLACK
wire from fan to BLACK wire from ceiling. Connect
BLUE wire from fan to the BLACK wire from the
independent wall switch for the light. Connect
WHITE wire from fan to WHITE wire from ceiling.
Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires together
from fan (on motor assembly and mounting bracket)
to BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling. (Fig. 1B)
1C. FAN AND LIGHT CONTROLLED BY TWO
WALL SWITCHES: If you intend to control the fan
and light with separate wall switches, connect
BLACK wire from fan to BLACK wire from the
independent wall switch for the fan. Connect BLUE
wire from fan to the BLACK wire from the other
independent wall switch for the light. Connect
WHITE wire from fan to WHITE wire from ceiling.
Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires together
from fan (on motor assembly and mounting bracket)
to BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling. (Fig. 1C)
Note: Black wire is hot power for fan. Blue wire is hot
power for light kit. White wire is common for fan and
light kit. Green or bare wire is ground.
