Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring
handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to
the floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.

SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the
fan, including the blades.

SAFETY INFORMATION
3
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 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.
When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box; do NOT use a
plastic outlet box. 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.).
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
corresponding 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 blades when
installing or balancing them, 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.
Before proceeding, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to
avoid electrical shock.
WARNING
Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present.
Before beginning installation, carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to
ensure that they are secured.
Do NOT tamper with or attempt to repair LED component. The light source is designed for this
specific application and should not be serviced by untrained personnel. If any servicing is
required, call our customer service department.

2. Determine mounting method to use.
A. Standard mount
B. Angle mount
Note: Flushmount and closemount options are not
available for this fan.
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, ensure the
ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
*Helpful Hint: Downrod-style mounting is best
suited for ceilings 8 ft. high or higher. For taller
ceilings you may want to use a longer downrod
(not included). Angle-style mounting is best suited
for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is
sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade
clearance.

INITIAL INSTALLATION
Depending on the length of downrod you use, you
may need to cut the lead wires back to simplify
the wiring. If you decide to cut back the lead
wires, it is suggested you do so in the following
manner:
Take the lead wires and make sure you have
pulled them all the way through the top of the
downrod (A). Start at the TOP of the hanging ball
on the downrod (A) and measure 8 in. of lead
wire, then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters
(not included).
NOTE: If you do not cut back the lead wires,
Steps 8 and 9 are not necessary and you may
proceed to Step 10 instead.

7. Slip downrod (A) into motor housing yoke, align
holes and re-install pin (L) and clip (M). Tighten
set screws in motor housing yoke and then tighten
preassembled nuts on the set screws. Then, slide
yoke cover (E) down until it rests on top of motor
housing (D).

INITIAL INSTALLATION
WIRING
WARNING: 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
corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground (green or bare) wire is
present.
WARNING: If house wires are different colors than referred to in the following steps, stop
immediately. A professional electrician is recommended to determine wiring.
WARNING: Using a full range dimmer switch (not included) to control fan speed will cause a loud
humming noise from fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do NOT use a full range dimmer
switch to control fan speed.
1. Make the necessary wiring connections for remote
control operation as detailed on the following page
and in Figure 1. For each wire connection, use one
of the wire connectors (AA), making sure to screw
wire connector (AA) on in a clockwise direction.
CAUTION: Assistance from another person is
recommended for this step.

DANGER: To reduce the risk of serious bodily
injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble the
blades (G). If overtightened, blades (G) may crack
and break.
Place one blade plate (J) under blade (G), aligning
holes. Then, insert one motor screw/washer (BB)
into one of the holes at the end of the blade (G),
turning until the motor screw (BB) comes through
the other side of the blade (G). Repeat with the
other motor screw/washer (BB).
Align the protruding ends of the motor
screws/washers (BB) with the corresponding holes
on the underside of the motor housing (D). Tighten
both motor screws/washers (BB).
Repeat Step 2 for the other two blades (G).
DANGER: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, make sure all blades (G) are completely
secure before proceeding.

4. Use the fan reverse switch, located on the top of the
motor housing (D) (under the yoke cover (E)), to
optimize the fan for seasonal performance. A ceiling
fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in
summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter
without feeling a difference in your comfort.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4a 4b
4c
4c. IMPORTANT: Reverse switch must be set
either completely LEFT or completely RIGHT for
fan to function. If the reverse switch is set in the
middle position, fan will not operate.
4a. In warmer weather, setting the reverse switch
in the LEFT position will result in downward airflow
creating a wind chill effect.
4b. In cooler weather, setting the reverse switch
in the RIGHT position will result in upward airflow
that can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling
area.
At least twice each year, lower canopy (B) to check downrod (A) assembly and tighten all screws on
fan. Clean motor housing (D) with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Clean blades (G) with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to
wood blades for added protection.
IMPORTANT: Shut off main power supply before beginning any maintenance. Do not use water or a
damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
• Total wattage for this fan is 18 watts; do not attempt to replace the LEDs.
