Safety Information
3 HOMEDEPOT.COM/HOMEDECORATORS
Please contact 1-800-986-3460 for further assistance.
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. Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN
SUPPORT.”
4. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do
not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device.
It will permanently damage the electronic circuitry.
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.

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 two different ways to mount the
outlet box (NN) (not included).

MOUNTING OPTIONS
MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
other personal injury, mount the fan only on an outlet box or
supporting system marked acceptable for fan support of 35
lbs (15.9 kg) or less and use mounting screws provided with
the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support
and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if
in doubt.
WARNING: This fan is not suitable for sloped ceilings.

7Making the electrical connections
If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
□Disconnect the power and remove the existing wall plate and switch from the wall outlet box.
□Set the knob on the wall switch (K) to the 0 position.
□Make wire connections as follows, using the wire nuts (II).
a. Speed/oscillation control wire connection
• If your wall outlet box (HHH) has a ground wire (green or bare copper), connect the speed/oscillation control's
yellow/green ground wire (GGG) to it; otherwise connect the speed/oscillation control's yellow/green ground wire
directly to one of the screws from the wall outlet box (HHH).
• Dash lines are 3-conductor cables between ceiling and wall outlet box.

removed in the hole and tighten the two canopy
mounting bracket screws (DD).
WARNING: Make sure the tab on the mounting bracket (A)
properly sits in the groove in the hanger ball/downrod
assembly (D) before attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting
bracket (A) by turning the canopy until it drops into place.
NOTE: Adjust the canopy mounting bracket screws (DD) as
necessary until the canopy (B) and canopy bottom cover (C)
are snug.
□Attach the canopy bottom cover (C) to the canopy
mounting screw heads (DD) on the bottom of the

□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 finish. The plating is
sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or
tarnishing.
□(Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood
blades.
□(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.
□Check the line wire connections to the fan.
□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.
□Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
□Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between mounting bracket and
outlet box.
The fan will not start.
The fan sounds noisy.
