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 qualied
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 xtures are not acceptable for fan
support and may need to be replaced,
consult a qualied 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 oor.
7. To operate the reverse function on this fan,
press the reverse button while the fan is
running.
8. WARNING: Use only with light kit marked
"Suitable for Use in Wet Locations".
9. Avoid placing objects in the path of the
blades.
10. To avoid personal injury or damage to the
fan and other items, be cautious when
working around or cleaning the fan.
11. 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.
12. After marking electrical connections,
spliced conductors should be turned
upward and pushed carefully up into
outlet box. The wires should be spread
apart with the grounded conductor and
the equipment-grounding conductor on
one side of the outlet box.
13. 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 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)

Step 3. Pass the 120 volt supply wires from
the ceiling outlet box through the center of the
ceiling mounting bracket. (Fig.6)
Step 4. Attach the ceiling mounting bracket to
the outlet box using the screws and washers
included with the outlet box. (Fig. 6)
Step 5. Remove the hanger ball from the
downrod assembly by loosening the set
screw, removing the cross pin and
unscrewing the ball off the rod. (Fig.7)
Step 6. Loosen the two set screws and
remove the hitch pin and retaining clip from
the coupling on top of the motor assembly.
(Fig. 8)
Step 7. Carefully feed the electrical lead wires
from the fan up through the downrod. Thread

7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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.
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. 12)
Step 1. Insert the receiver into the ceiling
mounting bracket with the flat side of the
receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 13) 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.
Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical
Connections: (Fig. 14) Connect the black wire
from the fan to the black wire marked "TO
MOTOR L" on the receiver.
6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT
(required 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.
NOTE: Although the safety support cable is
required for Canadian installations only. It's a
good idea to make the attachment with any
installation.

until the canopy and canopy cover are snug.
(Fig. 15)
8. FINISHING THE INSTALLATION
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.
Step 3. Receiver to Supply Wires Electrical
Connections: (Fig. 14) Connect the black
(load) wire from the ceiling outlet box to the
black wire marked "AC in L" on the receiver.
Connect the white (neutral) wire from the
ceiling outlet box to the white wire marked "AC
in N" on the receiver.
Secure each set of electrical connections with
with the plastic wire nuts provided in the parts
bag.
Step 4. Connect the ground wire (green or
bare copper) from the outlet box to the ground
wire on the ceiling mounting bracket and the
ground wire from the ceiling fan.
After making all connections, separate the
white and green wire connections to one side
and the black wire connections to the other
side of the outlet box.
NOTE: Fan must be installed at a maximum
distance of 30 feet from the Hand Held
