SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install
the product. If you have any questions regarding the product, please call customer service at
1-800-643-0067, 8 a.m. - 6 p.m., EST, Monday - Thursday and 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., EST, Friday.
• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit
breakers.
• Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or the National
Electrical code. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring hand-book 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 ends of the blades to any obstruction.
• If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box.
Secure the 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.
• After you install the fan, make sure that all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.
• Instructions for supply connections: conductor of a fan identified as grounded conductor to be
connected to a grounded conductor of power supply; conductor of a fan identified for equipment
grounding to be connected to an equipment-grounding conductor.
Do not install or use fan if any part is damaged or missing.
WARNING
Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan.
Review accompanying assembly diagrams.
CAUTION
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms
when installing them, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign
objects between the rotating fan blades. Mount to outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE
FOR FAN SUPPORT” 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 sup-
port and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

WARNING
The balancing clip must always be firmly
pushed onto the blade till it touches the
edge of the blade. Failure to do so could
allow clip to fly off and cause personal
injury.
1. Interchanging positions of adjacent blades (L)
can redistribute the weight and result in a
smoother operation. If wobble decreases,
leave blades (L) as they are. If wobble
increases, switch back to original position.
Attach the balancing clip in the balance kit
(GG) to the mid-point on the top edge of one
blade (L). (Fig. 1)
2. Run the fan at high speed (air downflow) and
observe wobble. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for
each blade (L). Note which blade (L) has the
least wobble. On that blade (L), install the
balancing clip in the balance kit (GG) to the
top edge of the blade (L) near the blade holder
arm (I). (Fig. 2)
Start the fan and notice wobble. Stop the fan
and move the balancing clip in the balance kit
(GG) in small steps toward the end of the
blade (L). At each incremental step, turn on
the fan and observe the wobble. Determine
the location of the balancing clip in the balance
kit (GG) that gives the least amount of wobble.
3. Peel the backing paper from one of the
weighted squares in the balance kit (GG).
Secure the weighted square in the balance kit
(GG) firmly to the top of the blade (L), centered
at the balancing clip in the balance kit (GG)
location and centered between the edges of
the blade (L). (Fig. 3)
Remove the balancing clip in the balance kit
(GG), start the fan and observe. If the wobble
still persists, repeat steps 1 through 3
until the wobble disappears.

WARNING
Make sure main power is turned off!
Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the finish
and create the possibility of electrical shock.
WARNING
•When cleaning, use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
•Abrasive cleaning agents are not required and should be avoided to prevent damage to finish.
RECOMMENDED: Periodically check that the fan motor unit screws, blade screws, support
housing and light kit screws are tight and secure.
•Periodic light dusting of the blades is recommended. A feather duster will work best.
•Avoid using water, cleansers, or harsh rag, which can warp and ruin the finish.
