3. SAFETY RULES
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure
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 and local electrical
codes. Electrical installation should be
performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock,
this fan must be installed with an isolating

4. MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing CUL listed 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). Do
not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 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. (Fig. 3)
To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4.

15. CARE OF YOUR FAN
Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.
1. Because of the fan's natural movement some connections may become loose. Check the
support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.
(It is not necessary to remove fan from the ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use only a soft
brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Plated finishes are sealed with lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning, this could damage the
motor, wood blades or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light coat of furniture polish
for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of
shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth or
sponge.
DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO
AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
WARNING: Make sure the power is off at the electrical panel box before you attempt any repairs.
Refer to the section, "Making Electrical Connections".

Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Remote control
malfunction.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the
switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is
tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware
are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.
6. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should
not touch the ceiling.
1. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).
2. Re-do learning process.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal.
Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of
the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is
positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation
should be equal within 1/8".
3. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND
THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN
ROTATING FAN BLADES.
