WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan
must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not
bend the blade arms (also referred to as flanges), when
installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning the
fan.
WARNING: Do not insert foreign objects between rotating
fan blades.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury, mount the fan to the outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support with the screws provided with the
outlet box.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only
the screws provided with the outlet box.
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has
been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before
beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code “ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and local electrical codes.
Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified
licensed electrician.
3. The outlet box and support structure must be securely
mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35
lbs (15.9 kg) or less. Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked
“FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
4. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1m)
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
5. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
6. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other
items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
7. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan
blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be
suitable for most cleaning.
8. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors
should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the
outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the
grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor
on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on
the other side of the outlet box.
9. All setscrews must be checked and retightened where
necessary before installation.
10. Suitable for use with solid-state speed control (UC7304RE
only).
11. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
NOTE: Suitable for use in damp locations.

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 specific 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

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling
joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (OO) (not included)
as shown above.
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 (NN) (not included) directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials
(not included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able
to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35
lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box (NN) (not included).

MOUNTING OPTIONS
MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support using the screws provided with the
outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of
lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and
may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If
the canopy (C) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly
(D), turn the canopy (C) 180° before attaching the canopy (C)
to the mounting bracket (A).

NOTE: The frequencies on your receiver and remote control
have been preset at the factory. Before installing the receiver,
make sure the dip switches on the receiver and remote
control are set to the same frequency. The dip switches on
the remote control are located inside the battery
compartment.
NOTE: The battery will weaken with age and should be
replaced before leaking takes place as this will damage the
remote control. Dispose of the used battery properly and keep
the battery out of the reach of children.
Setting the Code on the Remote:
□Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote
control (L) by pressing firmly on the arrow and sliding
the cover off.
□Slide the code switches to your choice of either up or
down. The factory setting is up.
□The switch marked O/D controls the dimming
function of the lights. If using non-dimmable bulbs,
use a ballpoint pen or small screwdriver to set the
switch to O to disable the dimming function. If using
dimmable bulbs, set the switch to D to enable the
dimming function.
□Install two AAA batteries (KK) (included).
□Replace the battery cover on the remote control (L).
Setting the Code on the Receiver:
□Slide the code switches on the receiver (K) to the
same positions as set on the remote control (L).
