SAFETY TIPS.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit panel
before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN AND
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different
colors than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least
seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted
so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other upright
structures.
4. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35
pounds (16 kilograms). The box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CETL or CUL
(in Canada) or ETL or UL (in USA) listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT."
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked "Acceptable
for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lb) or less" and use the mounting screws provided with 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are
designed to accept only one 12 gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12
gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for
the proper size wire connectors to use.
5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
7. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the
equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire and to prevent humming noise do not use this fan with any solid
state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to
control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.] (Note:This fan is suitable for use with remote control.)
8. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop.
9. Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after installation. Do
not insert objects into the path of the blades.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than
those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
WARNING: This fan MUST be installed with the safety cable provided with the fan. Failure to use the safety cable
provided may result in personal injury, damage to the fan or damage to other property.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are necessary
factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

10.Testing Your Fan.
reverse switch
It is recommended that you test fan before
finalizing installation. Restore power from circuit
box and wall switch (if applicable). Test fan
speeds with the pull chain labeled FAN located
to the right of the reverse switch. Start at the
OFF position (no blade movement). First pull will
set the fan to HI. Second pull will set the fan to
MEDIUM. Third pull will set the fan to LOW.
Fourth pull will re-set the fan to OFF setting. Test
light with the pull chain labeled LIGHT located
to the left of the reverse switch. (diagram 1) If
fan and/or light do (does) not function, please
refer to "Troubleshooting" section to solve any
issues before contacting Customer Service.
Turn fan completely off before moving the
reverse switch (located on light kit fitter). Set
reverse switch to recirculate air depending on
the season:
- LEFT position in summer (diagram 2)
- RIGHT position in winter (diagram 3)
A ceiling fan will allow you to raise your
thermostat setting in summer and lower your
thermostat setting in winter without feeling a
difference in your comfort.
Important: Reverse switch must be set either
completely to the LEFT or completely to the RIGHT
for fan to function. If the reverse switch is set in
the middle position (diagram 4), fan will not
operate.
