SAFETY TIPS.
page 1
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.
2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances and the National
Electrical Code. 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 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 UL 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," 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 nuts/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 two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire nuts/wire connectors to use.
5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL
listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL
general use switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for
proper assembly.
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 and fire, do not use this fan with any variable (rheostat)
wall 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.
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.

4. Hanging Bracket Installation.
Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from
breaker panel and be sure operating light switch is
turned to the OFF position.
WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to
installation may result in serious injury.
Remove existing fixture.
WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be sure
the box is securely attached to the building structure
and can support the full weight of the fan. Ensure it is
clearly marked "Suitable for Fan Support." If not, it must
be replaced with an approved outlet box.Failure to do
so can result in serious injury.
Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original
screws, spring washers and flat washers (size 8 or M5)
provided with new or original outlet box.*Install
rubber cushions (located in a hardware pack)
between outlet box and hanging bracket to reduce
vibration of metal to metal surfaces. Arrange
electrical wiring through the center hole of the
hanging bracket.

(76cm) from any wall or obstruction.
This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 144
square feet (13.4 square meters).
This fan can be mounted as a flushmount only
on a regular ceiling. Downrod installations are

Remove single motor mounting screw from hook
end of motor assembly. Remove 2 motor
mounting screws from hanging bracket.
Lift motor assembly to hanging bracket and slide
hook end (with single screw hole) into square
opening on hanging bracket (see diagram at
right).This will allow the motor assembly to hang
out of the way while wiring.
Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the
stepladder in place and to lift the fan up to you
once you are set on the ladder.
Continue to "Wiring" section for wiring diagram.
**See instructions above (Section 5) in order to
temporarily hang fan on hanging bracket during
wiring.
Important: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded or
that a ground (GREEN or Bare) wire is present.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local
Codes or Ordinances and the National Electrical Code.
If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the
house/building wires are different colors than those
referred to below, please use a qualified electrician.
When fan is secured in place on the hanging
bracket, electrical wiring can be made (diagram 1)
as follows:
Connect BLACK and ¹BLUE wire from fan to BLACK
wire from ceiling with wire nut provided.
Connect WHITE wire from fan to WHITE wire from
ceiling with wire nut provided.
Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires together from
fan to BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling with wire nut
provided.
¹ If you intend to control the fan light with a
separate light switch, connect BLUE wire from fan
to the BLACK supply from the independent switch.
* Wrap each wire nut separately with electrical tape
as an extra safety measure.

screwdriver. Repeat for the remaining blades.
Remove blade arm screws and lock washers from
fan motor and set aside.Then, if applicable,
remove styrofoam inserts and motor shipping
pads and discard. Align blade arm holes with
motor screw holes and attach blade arm with
lock washers and blade arm screws. Before
securing screws permanently, repeat procedure
with remaining blade arms. Secure all screws.

11.Testing Your Fan.
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 to the left 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 kit with the pull
chain to the right of the reverse switch. 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 when moving the
reverse switch. Set reverse switch to recirculate
air depending on the season.

Remove 3 thumb screws from light kit plate.
Use these thumb screws to attach glass shade
to light kit plate. Do not overtighten thumb
screws as glass may crack or break.
Note: Do NOT remove the rubber ring on lip
of glass shade as this will help hold the glass
shade in place.
Important: When replacing bulb, please allow
bulb and glass shade to cool down before
touching them.
Pull chain extensions supplied or custom pull
