A Kichler®Decor™ 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. To operate the reverse function on this fan,
press the reverse button while the fan is
running.
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.

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 are examples of different ways to
mount the outlet box.
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. 3)

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
(required for Canadian Installations ONLY)
A safety support cable is provided to help
prevent the ceiling fan from falling.
Step 1. Attach the provided wood screw and
washer to the ceiling joist next to the mounting
bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 6)
Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable to
reach the screw and washer 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.

(Fig. 7)
Connect the black wire from the fan to the
black wire marked "TO MOTOR L" on the
receiver.
Connect the white wire from the fan to the
white wire marked "TO MOTOR N" on the
receiver.
Connect the blue wire from the fan to the blue
wire marked "FOR LIGHT" on the receiver.
Secure each set of wire connections with the
plastic wire nuts provided in the parts bag.
2. Receiver to Supply Wires Electrical
Connections: (Fig. 7)

Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum
distance of 30 feet from the CoolTouch™
Remote Transmitter for optimal signal
transmission between the transmitter and the
fan's receiving unit.
For best performance, make sure the Black
Antenna, on the end of the receiver, remains
extended and not tangled with any of the
electrical wires.
NOTE: The CoolTouch™ Control System is
equipped with 16 possible frequency
combinations to prevent interference from or
with other remote control units. The frequency
switches on your receiver and transmitter have
been preset at the factory. Please recheck to
make sure the switches on transmitter and
receiver are set to the same position, any
combination of settings will operate the fan as
long as the transmitter and receiver are set to
the same position. (Fig. 8)
Insert the receiver into the receiver socket
located in the mounting bracket with the flat
side of the receiver facing the motor. (Fig. 9)

(Fig. 10)
NOTE: If the receiver included with your
ceiling fan has an "orange wire", Insure that it
has a wire nut attached to the end of the wire.
No exposed wire should show after
installation.
The Orange wire is intended for use with
"Decorative Up lighting" on most models.

10. ATTACHING THE FAN BLADES
Step 1. Place a blade on a blade bracket
aligning the mounting holes on each. Start
each set of mounting screws, washers and
fiber pads into each hole.
Make sure the blade is straight on the blade
bracket and tighten each mounting screw until
the fiber pad is slightly compressed.
Step 2. Attach each blade assembly to the
motor using the "Pre-installed" mounting
screws in the blade bracket. (Fig 12)
Repeat the above process for each blade
assembly.
11. INSTALLING THE LIGHT FIXTURE

1. Loosen two screws on the mounting ring
attached to the motor shaft and "remove" and
save the third screw. (Fig. 13)
2. Place the key holes on the light fixture
mounting plate over the 2 screws previously
loosened on the mounting ring, turn light
fixture mounting plate until it locks in place at
the narrow section of the key holes. Secure by

12. INSTALLING THE LIGHT FIXTURE
NOTE: Before continuing installation, confirm
that the power is still turning off at the main
circuit breaker or by removing the correct fuse.
Turning the power off using a wall switch is not
sufficient to prevent electrical shock.
1. Loosen the two screws on the light fixture
mounting plate attached to the motor shaft and
"remove" and save the third screw. (Fig. 14)
2. Hold the light fixture close to the fan and
connect the white wires by pushing the
connectors on the wire ends together. Follow
the same procedure for the black wires. (Fig
14)
3. Tuck the connections neatly into the light
fixture mounting plate. NOTE: Be careful not
to pinch the light fixture wires between the
light fixture and the light fixture mounting plate.
4. Place the key hole slots on the light fixture
over the two screws previously loosened on
the light fixture mounting plate.
Turn the light fixture until is locks in place at
the narrow section of the key hole slots.
Tighten both key hole screws and replace the
third screw previously removed and tighten
securely. (Fig. 14)
