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 exclusion 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

Please contact 1-800-986-3460 for further assistance.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of the fan falling, use all six
mounting holes in the wall mounting bracket (B) when
installing the wall mounting bracket (B).
WARNING: It is very important that you use the proper
hardware when installing the wall mounting bracket (B) as
this will support the fan assembly (A).
□Determine the approximate position of where you
want the fan to be located on the wall. Then, locate
the stud (GG) in the wall. Position the wall mounting
bracket (B) on wood stud or wood post and mark the
location of the six holes using a pencil or a marker
(not included).
□Use 3/32-in. drill bit (not included) to drill pilot holes
at marked locations. Then, install wall mounting
bracket (B) to the wall with wood screws (AA).
If your stud is not wide enough to support the bracket (B)
then install using the following instructions:
□Secure a 2x6-in. wood block (F) (not included)
directly between two studs (GG). Use appropriate
fasteners and materials (not included).
□Position the wall mounting bracket (B) on wood block
(F) and mark the location of the six holes using a
pencil or a marker (not included).
□Use 3/32-in. drill bit (not included) to drill pilot holes
at marked locations. Then, install wall mounting
bracket (B) to the wall with wood screws (AA).
CAUTION: Carefully open the packaging and take out items
from styrofoam. Please lift the motor head with two hands by
gooseneck arm and base, and DO NOT remove the plastic
binder from the motor head until fan installation is completed.
Removing the plastic binder from the motor head before or
during installation will damage the oscillating mechanism.
CAUTION: If you are going to attach the fan assembly (A) to
a wood stud or wood post, the stud or wood post must be at
least 4 inches wide and thick enough to sustain the wall
mounting bracket (B) and the weight of the fan assembly (A).

Assembly — Hanging the Fan (continued)
WARNING: If using this fan in a DAMP location, this fan
must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a
Ground Fault Circuit interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of
personal injury, electrical shock or death.
WARNING: Risk of re. Do not replace attachment plug.
Contains a safety device (fuse, AFCI, LCD) that should not be
removed. Discard product if the attachment plug is damaged.
WARNING: The power cord is equipped with a three-prong
grounded plug that must be inserted into a matching
receptacle. Under no circumstances must the grounding
prong be cut off the plug (KK). Where a two-prong wall
receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and all
applicable local codes and ordinances. This work must be
done only by a qualied electrician, using copper wire only.

SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended you test the fan before nalizing installation.
Restore power to the circuit box. Test fan speeds with the wall
control on the left side of fan assembly.
OFF = Turns the fan off.
H = High speed.
M = Medium speed.
L = Low speed.
Test the oscillation function with the wall control on the right side
of the fan assembly.
OFF = Oscillation off.
ON = Set the fan to oscillation.
If fan doses not function properly, please refer to
“Troubleshooting” section.
REPLACING THE FUSE
REPLACING THE FUSE
The three-prong plug is installed with a fuse (MM) that is a vital
safety device. A lament inside the fuse (MM) is designed to melt
and cut the circuit if the current gets too high. This prevents
damage to your fan and the person using it and stops the power
cord from overeating to the point where it could catch re.
If you should need to replace the fuse, grasp plug and remove from
the receptacle or other outlet device. Do not unplug by pulling on
cord. Locate the fuse cover at the end of the plug on the power
cord. Slide the fuse cover open to expose the fuse. Using
needle-nose pliers (not included), remove the fuse. Inspect the
fuse -- the small, glass tube with metal on each end -- to
determine whether it will need to be replaced. If the fuse is blown,
it will look dark and smudged or the visible wire inside will be
broken. Use a replacement the fuse with a rating of 5 amps, 125
volts only, and insert the fuse in between the metal brackets inside
the fuse housing. Slide the fuse cover shut.
WARNING: Do not manually move the fan head. Doing so
will destroy the gears in the oscillating mechanism.
WARNING: Risk of re. Do not replace attachment plug.
Contains a safety device (fuse, AFCI, LCD) that should not be
removed. Discard product if the attachment plug is damaged.

□Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor,
or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
□Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has
permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
Do not
Do not
□Check the support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.
Because of the fan’s natural movement, some
connections may become loose over time. It is not
necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
□Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or
lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the nish. The plating is
sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or
tarnishing.
□(Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of
shoe polish.
WARNING: Make sure the power is off at the electrical
panel box before you attempt any repairs. Refer to step 7
“Making the electrical connections” on page 10.
□Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
□Make sure all screws on fan motor assembly and fan guards are snug.
□Make sure the blade and the blade cover are securely in place.
□Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this
time.
The fan will not start.
The fan sounds noisy.
