READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS
AND SAVE THEM FOR FUTURE USE
PRINTED IN CHINA
Federal regulations require all ceiling
fans with light kits manufactured or
imported after January 1, 2009, to limit
total wattage consumed by the light kit
to 190W. Therefore, this fan is equipped
with a wattage limiting device.

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.
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 70-199. 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 ten (10) feet (3.05 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 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 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.
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.
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.

1. Unpacking Your Fan.

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure
that the hanging location allows the blades a
clearance of 10ft. (3.05m) from the floor and 30in.
(76cm) from any wall or obstruction.
This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 225
square feet (20.9 square meters).
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 outlet 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.
CAUTION: Be sure oulet box is grounded properly
and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present.
Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original
screws, spring washers and flat washers provided
with new or original outlet box.* Install rubber
cushions (if not already pre-attached to hanging
bracket) between outlet box and j-hook hanging
bracket to reduce vibration of metal to metal
surfaces. Arrange electrical wiring to the front or
back side of the hanging bracket.
*Note: It is very important that you use the proper
hardware when installing the hanging bracket as this
will support the fan.

Adjust safety cable length by loosening
screw and nut on safety cable vice. Adjust
slack to a hand's length and tighten nut on
vice securely.The loop at the end should just
fit over the threads on the wood screw.Test
cable by pulling on loose end with pliers. If
cable slips, then vice and nut must be set
tighter.
Extra cable slack can be left in ceiling area.

It is recommended that you test fan before finalizing
installation. Restore power from circuit box and light
switch (if applicable).Test fan speeds with the pull
chain labeled FAN. 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 again set the fan to the
OFF setting.Test light with the pull chain labeled
LIGHT. 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. Set reverse switch to recirculate air
depending on the season:
- LEFT position in summer (diagram 1)
- RIGHT position in winter (diagram 2)
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 3), fan will not operate.
