of purchase by the original purchaser. We agree to correct such defects without charge or at our option replace with a comparable or superior

limitation on how long an implied 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 exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or
personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable
for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 Kg) or less” using the
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 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.
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 (AA) supplied with
your fan. Secure the connectors with electrical tape and ensure
there are no loose strands or connections.
WARNING: Each wire nut 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.
NOTE: The fan comes with 30 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.).
□The fan comes with 30 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 (AA).
□Connect the fan motor white wire to the household white
wire using a wire connecting nut (AA).
□Connect the fan motor black and blue wires to the
household black wire using a wire connecting nut (AA).
□Secure each wire connecting nut using electrical tape.
□Turn the wire connecting nut (AA) upward and push the
wiring into the outlet box (II).
Wrapping the extra wire
□Gently wrap the excess wire around the mounting bracket.
□Secure with electrical tape.
