procedure.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Your new Kichler®Ceiling Fan is State of the
Art and employs a High Efficiency DC (direct
current) Motor with an advanced CoolTouch™
Remote Control System. The DC Motor uses
70% less energy than a conventional ceiling
fan AC Induction Motor. The DC motor is
“Digitally” controlled and operates differently
than conventional ceiling fans motors. Please
read this portion of the manual completely
before proceeding.
Our CoolTouch™ Control system includes an
“Automatic Frequency Selection” feature. To
set the control frequency and program the
control system, follow these steps.
Open the back of the Transmitter (figure 18)
The Frequency Selector is a "Dip Switch
Block" inside the Battery compartment of the
Transmitter. (See figure 19) You change
frequencies by arranging the small switches
numbered 1 through 4 in a up or down
position. 16 possible frequencies or
combinations are possible.
The fifth switch, marked D and X sets the
system for operation with Incandescent or
Fluorescent Lamps. It is essential to set this
switch correctly. If your ceiling fan is
equipped with Incandescent Lamps set this
switch to the D Position, for Fluorescent
Lamps, set the switch to the X Position. If
these settings are reversed, the lighting
control system will operate erratically and
could damage your ceiling fan.
System Programing: Read all of these steps
BEFORE proceeding. Each step must be
followed exactly to properly program the
control system.
1. You can leave the frequency switches at
the factory setting or move them to any
combination of up or down. Use a small flat
bladed screwdriver to move the switches.

Power Up and Programming:
4. Turn the power on, press and hold the
button until the ceiling fan light blinks twice
(Figure 20)
NOTE: Do not press any other button during
this procedure.
5. The transmitter just communicated with the
ceiling fan, selected the appropriate
frequency, did a self check and signaled
“complete”.
NOTE: This operation must be started
WITHIN the first 120 seconds (2 minutes) of
turning the power on. No other buttons
can be push during this time.
6. After the ceiling fan light blinks twice, press
and release the High Speed (6) Button. Let
the ceiling fan run for a minimum of 90
seconds ( 1 ½ minutes). The control system
will do another self check, initialize all
operational functions and complete the

4. The " " button is used to set the fan in
forward or reverse operation. Each time you
press this button the fan blades will reverse
direction. This button functions ONLY when
the fan blades are in motion.
OPERATIONAL NOTE: Each time you start
the blades rotating, at any speed or reverse
the direction of the blades the Control System
will do a “Self Check” to insure operational
integrity. The blades will rotate slowly a short
distance (¼ turn), pause, change directions,
rotate ¼ turn, then build up RPM'S to the
selected speed. This is a perfectly normal
procedure and insures normal operating
performance.

NOTE: Please remember your control system
is an RF (Radio Frequency) control system.
You may occasionally experience control
problems because of other radio frequency
interference, i.e. fan turns off, light turns off or
won't turn on, speed changes, etc. If this
should happen, just change the “Control
Frequency” by turning the power off and
repeating steps 1 through 6 under System
Programming.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size.
Ceiling height, number of fans and so on.
Warm Weather Operation: Forward (counter
clockwise) A downward airflow creates a
cooling effect as shown in Fig. 25. This allows
you to set your air conditioner on a warmer
setting without affecting your general comfort.
Cool Weather Operation: Reverse (clockwise).
An upward airflow moves warm air off the
ceiling areas as shown in Fig. 26. This allows
you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your general comfort.

Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Fan wobble.
Remote control
malfunction.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check all electrical connections to insure proper contact. CAUTION: Make
sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.
3. Make sure the transmitter batteries are installed properly. Positive (+) side
facing out.
4. Insure the batteries have a good charge.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are
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. Do not connect this fan to wall mounted variable speed control(s). they are
not compatible with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.
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.
1. Ceiling Fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in
conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/Off wall switch,
if desired.
