Two Mounting Options
Choose one of the following mounting options:
Downrod Mount is best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer
downrod (not included).
Angle Ceiling Mount is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary
to ensure proper blade clearance from the ceiling. If using the angle mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is
not steeper than 16°.

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLING THE
FAN AND SAVE INSTRUCTIONS.
All set screws of the fan must be checked and retightened where necessary before installation.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the
blades or cleaning fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
Before changing the fan direction, turn o the fan and wait for the fan blades to stop completely.
The safeguards provided by these safety instructions and by the separate installation instructions are not meant
to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution
and care are factors which can not be built into this product. These factors must be supplied by the person(s)
installing, caring for and operating the fan.
The fan weight is Net Weight: 15.63 lbs (7,09 kg). Be sure the outlet box (not included) is securely attached to the

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:

WARNING:
To avoid risk of electric shock, be sure to shut o power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box before
installing or servicing this xture. Turning o the electrical power by using the light switch is not
sucient to prevent electrical shock.
To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan so that the blades are at least 7 feet (2.1 Meters) above the
oor and at least 18 inches (0.5 Meters) from the tip of the blades to the wall.
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for
fan support” and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
The installation has to be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and
local codes. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring, seek the services of a
qualied licensed electrician.
Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from the fan. To
reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch to control the fan speed.

12. Raise the canopy, ensure the two mounting bracket
screws are aligned with the J-shaped slots in the canopy.
Then turn the canopy in a clockwise direction until the
mounting bracket screws are completely engaged in
the J-shaped slots. Install the two previously removed
mounting bracket screws in the round holes. Securely
tighten all mounting bracket screws.
13. Install the blade to the top side of the motor with
motor screws previously removed. Tighten with Phillips
screwdriver (not included). Repeat for each blade.
11. Use wire connectors to connect the fan wires to the
power supply wires according to the wiring diagram and
the following instructions:
• Connect the green wire from the downrod and mounting
bracket to the bare/green (ground) supply wire.
• Connect the white wire from the fan to the white
(neutral) supply wire.
• Connect the black and blue wires from the fan to the
black (hot) supply wire.
Important: After the connections have been made, the
wires should be turned upward and pushed carefully
up into the outlet box. Place the black and white wire
connections on opposite sides of the outlet box.
14. Remove one of the three tter plate screws
preassembled to the tter plate and loosen the other two
but do not remove. Connect the 9-pin connector from
the tter plate to the 9-pin connector from the switch
housing. Align the keyhole slots in the switch housing with
the loosened screws in the tter plate. Turn switch housing

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your
thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat
setting in winter without feeling a dierence in your
comfort.
In warmer weather, push the reverse switch left which
will result in downward airow creating a wind chill
eect.
In cooler weather, push the reverse switch right which
will result in upward airow that can help move stagnant,
hot air o the ceiling area.
Important: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the
reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either
completely left or right in order for the fan to function
correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle
position, the fan will not operate.
2. The fan pull chain has four positions to control fan
speed. One pull is HIGH, two is MEDIUM, three is LOW
and four turns the fan OFF.

PROBLEM SUGGESTED REMEDY
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have diculty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation or
wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please
check the Troubleshooting section below. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing diculty in
installation, please contact the Service Department: 1-877-706-3267, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Central, Monday - Friday.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock or personal injury, shut o the power supply to fan before
you begin any maintenance tasks.
1. Fan does not start:
2. Fan is noisy:
3. Fan wobbles:
1. Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON.
2. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
3. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
4. Make sure forward/reverse switch pushed completely left or right. Fan will not operate
when switch is in the middle.
1. Make sure all screws in motor assembly are snug, but not overtightened.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the blade to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall
of the switch housing.
4. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall
of the canopy.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT
USE a Solid State variable speed control.
6. Ensure fan does not wobble excessively (see Fan wobbles solutions below).
1. Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely to outlet box and outlet box is
mounted rmly to ceiling joist.
2. Ensure all blades are tightened securely to motor.
3. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using the blade
balancing kit.
4. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
