Warranty
The supplier warrants the fan motor to be free from defects in workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the factory for a life-
time after the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The supplier also warrants that all other fan parts, excluding any glass or acrylic blades,
to be free from defects in workmanship and material at the time of shipment from the factory for a period of two years after the date of purchase
by the original purchaser. We agree to correct such defects without charge or at our option replace with a comparable or superior model if the
product is returned. To obtain warranty service, you must present a copy of the receipt as proof of purchase. All costs of removing and reinstalling
the product are your responsibility. Damage to any part such as by accident or misuse or improper installation or by afxing any accessories, is
not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions this warranty does not cover any changes in brass nish, including rusting,
pitting, corroding, tarnishing, or peeling. Brass nishes of this type give their longest useful life when protected from varying weather condi-
tions. A certain amount of “wobble” is normal and should not be considered a defect. Servicing performed by unauthorized persons shall render
the warranty invalid. There is no other express warranty. Home Decorators Collection hereby disclaims any and all warranties, including but not
limited to those of merchantability and tness for a particular purpose to the extent permitted by law. The duration of any implied warranty which
cannot be disclaimed is limited to the time period as specied in the express warranty. Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an im-
plied 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 exclu-
sion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives specic legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty supersedes all prior warranties. Shipping costs for any return of
product as part of a claim on the warranty must be paid by the customer.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock
or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked
“Acceptable for fan support of 50lbs. (22.7 Kg)
or less”, and use 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
support structure must be securely mounted and capable of
reliably supporting a minimum of 50 lbs. (22.7kg). Use only
UL-listed outlet boxes marked “Acceptable for fan support of
50lbs. (22.7 Kg) or less” 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.

IMPORTANT: Use the plastic wire connectors (BB) supplied with
your fan. Secure the connectors with electrical tape and ensure
there are no loose strands or connections.
WARNING: Each wire not supplied with this fan is designed to
accept up to one 12-gauge house wire and two wires from the
fan. If you have larger than 12-gauge house wiring or more
than one house wire to connect to the fan wiring, consult an
electrician for the proper size wire nuts to use.
□The fan comes with 54 in. lead wires for use with an extended
ball/downrod assembly. If using the 4.5 in. ball/downrod
assembly (B) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your
desired length (no shorter than 12 in.) This will make extra
room in the canopy (C), if you do not wish to cut the wires,
you will need to neatly wrap them.
□Connect the fan motor green wires to the household green or
bare wire using a wire connecting nut (BB).
□Connect the fan motor white wire to the household white wire
using a wire connecting nut (BB).
□Connect the fan motor black and blue wires to the household
black wire using a wire connecting nut (BB).
□Secure each wire connecting nut using electrical tape.
□Turn the wire connecting nut (BB) upward and push the wiring
into the outlet box (SS).
NOTE: The fan comes with 54 in. lead wires for use with an
extended ball/downrod assembly. If using the 4.5 in. ball/downrod
assembly (B) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your desired
length (no shorter than 12 in.).
WARNING: Remove the rubber motor stops on the bottom of the
fan before installing the blades or testing the motor.
IMPORTANT: If after this step, you decide to check that the
electrical connections have been successful, it is critical to attach
the light kit using the quick connector prior to testing. The fan will
not operate unless the light kit is connected to the fan.

Mounting the fan-motor assembly
(standard mount)
□Align the locking slots of the ceiling canopy (C) with the two
screws (SS) in the slide-on mounting bracket (A). Push up to
engage the slots, and turn clockwise to lock the canopy (C) in
place.
□Firmly tighten the two mounting screws (SS).
□Install the remaining two mounting screws (SS) into the holes
in the canopy (C) and tighten rmly.
□Install the decorative canopy ring (L) by aligning the ring’s
slots with the screws in the canopy (C). Rotate the canopy
ring (L) counter-clockwise to lock it in place.
WARNING: When using the standard ball/downrod mounting, the
tab in the ring at the bottom of the mounting bracket must rest in
the groove of the hanger ball. Failure to properly seat the tab in
the groove could cause damage to the wiring.
