a wire connector over them, then twist clockwise until tight. For
all these connections use the wire connectors provided.
5-3. Connectthebareorgreengroundwire(grounded)fromthe
ceiling to the green ground wire (grounded) from the ceiling plate
and the green ground wire from the fan.
5-4. Connect the white wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling to the
white wire (ungrounded) from the fan.
5-5. Connect the remaining wires as follows:
Dual Switch Wiring:
