Instruction Manual
Bronson
A Kichler®Select™ ceiling fan

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: Suitable for use with solid-
state speed controls.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, use only the two steel screws (and
lock washers) provided with the outlet box
for mounting to 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.
5. The outlet box and support structure must
be securely mounted and capable of
reliably supporting a minimum of 50
pounds. Use only CUL Listed outlet boxes
marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT".
6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum
of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of
the blades to the floor.
7. Do not operate reversing switch while fan
blades are in motion. Fan must be turned
off and blades stopped before reversing
blade direction.
8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the
blades.
9. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
fan and other items, be cautious when
working around or cleaning the fan.
10. 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.
11. After making the electrical connections,
spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into outlet
box. The wires should be spread apart with
the ground wire and white (common) wire
to one side with the black (load) wire to the
other side of the outlet box.
12. Electrical diagrams are reference only.
Light kits that are not packed with the fan
must be CUL Listed and marked suitable
for use with the model fan you are
installing. Switches must be CUL General
Use Switches. Refer to the Instructions
packaged with the light kits and switches
for proper assembly.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN TO OUTLET
BOX MARKED "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN
SUPPORT".
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
DO NOT BEND THE BLADE BRACKETS (ALSO
REFERRED TO AS FLANGES) DURING ASSEMBLY
OR AFTER INSTALLATION. DO NOT INSERT
OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE BLADES.

4. MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing UL (cUL for Canadian
Installation) 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: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a
sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a
longer downrod to maintain proper clearance
between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A
minimum clearance of 12" is suggested for
optimal operation.
NOTE: Depending on the location you have
selected for installation, you may need to
purchase and install a "Joist Hanger" for the
support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist
hanger you purchase has been designed for
use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
(for Canadian Installation ONLY)
A safety support cable is provided to help
prevent the ceiling fan from falling, please
install it as follows.
Step 1. Attach the provided wood screw and
washers to the ceiling joist next to the
mounting bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 11)
Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable to
reach the screw and washers by pulling the
extra cable through the cable clamp until the
overall length is correct, put the end of the
cable back through the cable clamp, forming a
loop at the end of the cable. Tighten the cable
clamp securely. Now, put the loop in the end of
the safety cable over the wood screw and
under the washer. Tighten the wood screw
securely.

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock,
be sure you have turned off the power at the
main circuit panel.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to
your household wiring. Use the wire
connecting nuts suppled with your fan. Secure
the connectors with electrical tape. Make sure
there are no loose wire strands or
connections.
Step 1. Connect the fan supply (black) wire
and light supply (blue) wire to the black
household supply wire as shown in Figure 12.
Step 2. Connect the neutral fan (white) wire to
the neutral household (white) wire.
Step 3. Connect the fan ground wire (green) to
the household ground wire.
Step 4. After connecting the wires, spread
them apart so that the green and white wires
are on one side of the outlet box and the black
and the blue wires are on the other side.
Step 5. Turn the connecting nuts upward and
push the wiring into the outlet box.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER
PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT YOUR
CEILING FAN ON A OUTLET BOX OR

13. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn the power on and check the operation of
your ceiling fan.
The "center" pull chain turns the light fixture
On and Off.
The "outside" pull chain controls the 3 speeds
of your ceiling fan.
1 pull = High, 2 pulls = Medium, 3 pulls = Low
and the 4th pull turns the motor off.
The Black Slide Switch on the side of the
switch housing controls the direction of the
blades "Forward and Reverse".
Warm weather - Forward (counter clockwise)
A downward airflow creates a cooling effect as
shown in Fig. 18. This allows you to set your
air conditioner on a warmer setting without
affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - Reverse (clockwise)
An upward airflow moves warm air off the
ceiling area as shown in Fig. 19. This allows
you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.

14. TROUBLESHOOTING
11
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check that all fuses or circuit breakers are installed or in the ON position.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make
sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
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. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.
6. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed
controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and install another
type of control.
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not
touch the ceiling.
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. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. 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 ARMS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING OR CLEANING THE
FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN
BLADES.
