SAFETY RULES

1. Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off at the circuit breaker of the fuse box.

2. Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.

3. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or National Electrical Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a

do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.

4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the

floor and 18 inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.

5. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling fan outlet box, use a U.L. Listed metal octagonal outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan Support". Secure the

box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds) Do

not use a plastic box.

6. Caution: To reduce the risk of injury use only the screws provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock washers provided with the fan.

7. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds).

8. After you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.

9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.

10. To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the reverse button while the fan is running.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN ONLY TO A U.L. LISTED OUTLET BOX OR SUPPORTING SYSTEM MARKED

ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET BOX IN CONJUCTION WITH THE LOCK WASHERS PROVIDED WITH THE

FAN. MOST OUTLET BOXES COMMONLY USED FOR FAN SUPPORT OF LIGHTING FIXTURES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.

CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT

INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS WITH ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.

NOTE:

The important safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may

occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors which can not be built into this product. These factors must be

supplied by the person (s) installing, caring for and operating the unit.

ATTENTION:

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires this fan to be equipped with a 190 watt limiting device. If lamping exceeds 190 watts, the

ceiling fan's light kit will shut off automatically.

INSTALLING THE FAN

MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn't an existing mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the

power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.

Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building

materials. The outlet box and its support must be able to fully support the moving weight of

the fan (at least 50 lbs.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet box. Do not use a plastic outlet box.

Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.

Note:You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a

steep, sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from your Minka-Aire dealer.

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need to install

a hanger bar as shown in Fig. 4. (available at your Minka Aire dealer or local hardware store)

Step 2. Loosen the two set screws and remove the hitch pin and lock pin

in the top coupling of the motor assembly. (Fig. 6)

Step 3. Remove hanger ball from downrod assembly by loosening set

screw, removing the cross pin, and sliding ball off rod. (Fig. 7)

Step 4. Carefully feed fan wires up through the downrod. (Fig. 8)

Thread the rod into the coupling, next line up holes and replace lock

pin and hitch pin. Tighten set screws.

Step 5. Slip coupling cover, canopy cover and canopy onto downrod.

(Fig. 9) Carefully reinstall hanger ball onto rod being sure that cross

pin is in correct position, set screws are tighten and wires are not

twisted.

NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THE COUPLING COVER IF YOU PLAN TO USE

THE MINIMUM LENGTH DOWNROD.

Step 6. Now lift motor assembly into position and place hanger ball

into hanger bracket. Rotate until the check groove has dropped into

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is

turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.

NOTE: The Aire Control® System is equipped with a learning frequency

function which has 256 code combinations to prevent potential

interference from other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver

and Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. (Fig. 11) No

frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another fan

within the same home or area with a seperate frequency code please

see the "frequency interference" troubleshooting section of this

instruction manual to learn how to change the frequency.

Step 1. Insert Receiver into Hanger Bracket with the flat side of the

Receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 12)

Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE

wire from the fan to the WHITE wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the

Receiver. Connect the BLACK wire from the fan to the BLACK wire

marked "TO MOTOR L" from the Receiver. Connect the BLUE wire from

the fan to the BLUE wire marked "For Light" from the Receiver.

NOTE: If your ceiling fan features an UP Light: Connect the ORANGE wire

from the fan to the ORANGE wire marked "For Up Light" from the

Receiver. Otherwise disregard this step and proceed to secure all wire

connections with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 13 & 14)

Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum distance of 40 feet from the

transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the

transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Step 3. Receiver to House Supply Wires Electrical Connections:

Connect the WHITE wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the WHITE

wire marked "AC in N" from the receiver. Connect the BLACK wire

(Hot) from the outlet box to the BLACK wire marked "AC in L" from

the receiver. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts

provided. (Fig. 13 & 14)

Step 4. If your outlet box has a GROUND wire (Green or Bare Copper)

connect this wire to the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground

wires. If your outlet box does not have a Ground Wire, then connect

the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground Wires together. Secure

wire connection with the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 13 & 14)

After all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose

strands. As an additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic

wire connectors to the wires with electrical tape.

WARNING: Shut of the power supply before removing or replacing lamp. In handling of halogen bulb,

care should be taken not to touch it with your bare hands. Oil residue will shorten the life of the

halogen bulb. If you accidentally come into contact, wipe thoroughly with a clean, lint-free, cotton

cloth. Allow the bulb to cool off for 10 minutes before changing the bulb. Use light bulb in accordance

with the fan's specification. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM WATTAGE

RATING.

ATTENTION: The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires this fan to be equipped with a 190 watt limiting

device. If lamping exceeds 190 watts, the ceiling fan's light kit will shut off automatically.

Step 1. Install 1x75W halogen bulb (included) into bulb socket.

Step 2. Raise glass shade up against bottom of fan housing and secure it to fan by turning it clockwise

until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (Fig. 20)

NOTE: The metal light cover included with your fan is an option to replace the glass for the light in the

event that you prefer not to use the light feature of your fan. The metal light cover is not necessary

for the light operation; it can be saved for later use if desired.
