Warranty
4
The manufacturer warrants the fan motor to be free from defects in workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the
factory for a period of lifetime after the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The manufacturer warrants the light kit (excluding any
glass), to be free from defects in workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the factory for a period of five years after
the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The manufacturer 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, misuse, improper
installation or by affixing any accessories, is not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions this warranty does not
cover any changes in brass finish, including rusting, pitting, corroding, tarnishing or peeling. Brass finishes of this type give the longest
useful life when protected from varying weather conditions. 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. We hereby
disclaim any and all warranties, including but not limited to those of merchantability and fitness 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 specified in the
express warranty. Some states do not allow 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. 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 must be paid by the customer.

To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling
joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (QQ) (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 (PP) (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 (PP) (not included).

If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge
or experience, have your fan installed by a licensed
electrician.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your household
wiring. Use the plastic wire nuts (AA) with your fan. Secure the
plastic wire nuts (AA) with electrical tape. Make sure there are
no loose strands or connections.
Make wire connections as follows, using the wire nuts (AA).
From Fan To Outlet Box
Black ------------------------- Black Wire (Hot)
White Wire ------------------- White Wire (Neutral)
Green Wires* ---------------- Green or Bare Wire (Ground)
* There are two green grounding leads: one from the mounting
bracket (A) and one from the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D).
Turn the wire nut connections upward, spreading them
apart so the green (ground) and white wires will be on one
side of the outlet box (PP) and the black wire will be on the
other side. Carefully tuck the connections up into the outlet
box (PP).
Red
WARNING: Check to see that all connections are tight,
including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
nuts (except for the ground wire).
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure
electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: DO NOT cut the yellow antenna wire.
NOTE: If there is a red wire coming out of the outlet box, be
sure to cap this wire with a wire nut.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan
must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
