Kichler Lighting Select Dorset User manual

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: Not 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.

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 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.
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

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 and 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)

box with the screws and washers provided
with the outlet box. Make sure the mounting
plate is tight and secured. (Fig. 4)

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
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.

Make sure there are no loose 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 7.
Step 2. Connect the neutral fan (white) wire to
the white neutral household 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.
Figures 8 and 9 illustrate the wiring
connections for optional wall control (The wire

11. INSTALLING THE LIGHT KIT
Fig. 14
Fig. 15
NOTE: Before starting installation, disconnect
the power by turning off the circuit breaker or
removing the fuse at fuse box. Turning power
off using the fan switch is not sufficient to
prevent electric shock.
Step 1. While holding the Light Kit under your
ceiling fan, push the square wire connectors
together. One from the fan and one from the
switch housing.
NOTE: These connectors are color coded and
will ONLY engage when the colored strips are
matched (aligned).
Step 2. Carefully push all the wires into the
light kit then attach the light kit to the
mounting plate with the screws provided. Be
sure each screw is securely tightened.
12. INSTALLING THE LIGHT BULBS &
GLASS SHADE
1. Install each of the 40 watt candelabra
lamps (included). One in each socket.
2. Remove the decorative nut, glass cap and
metal nut from the light kit. Place glass shade
over the light kit stem, secure with the metal
nut (rubber side on the top), glass cap and
decorative nut. Do not overtighten. (Fig. 15)
3. Insert each control pull chain through the
eyelets in the shade and cap. Thread the
decorative nut on the end of the stem.
4. Restore power and your light kit is ready for
operation.
Note: Make sure to leave enough space
between the fan pull chain and the bulbs so
the chain doesn't rub against any of the bulbs.

13. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn on the power and check the operation of
your fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed
as follows:
1. 3-speed pull chain- it controls the fan
speed as follows: 1 pull- High, 2 pulls-
Medium,
3 pulls- Low, and 4 pulls- Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather
depend on factors such as the room size,
ceiling height, number of fans, and so on.
2. The Light Kit pull chain turns the light kit
On or Off.
3. The last pull chain reverses the direction of
the fan blades. Counter clockwise for
downward air movement (Summer) and
Clockwise for upward air movement (Winter).
Warm weather - (Counter Clockwise) A
downward airflow creates a cooling effect
as shown in Fig. 16. This allows you to set
your air conditioner on a warmer setting
without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise) An upward airflow
moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown
in Fig.17. This allows you to set your heating
unit on a cooler setting without affecting your
comfort.
