outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
For Angled Ceilings: Be sure to orient the ceiling plate so that the
two tabs are pointing toward the ceiling peak.
2-2. Your fan comes with four preinstalled noise isolators. Check to
make sure all four isolators are in place and were not removed
during shipment.
2-3. Place a flat washer on each of the two 3” wood screws.

slotted holes directly across from each other.
Note: e isolators should be flush against the ceiling.
2-6. Pass the screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate into
the pilot holes you drilled.
Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants
on the screws. Do not over tighten.

8-3. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct
breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade
rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling
around the room without causing a draft.
8-4. For cleaning finishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching.Avacuumcleanerbrushnozzlecanremoveheavier
