SAFETY RULES
1
1. Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off at the circuit breaker of the fuse box.
2. Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.
3. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or National Electrical Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a
do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the
floor and 18 inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.
5. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling fan outlet box, use a U.L. Listed metal octagonal outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan Support". Secure the
box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds) Do
not use a plastic box.
6. Caution: To reduce the risk of injury use only the screws provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock washers provided with the fan.
7. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds).
8. After you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.
9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
10. Turn the fan off and wait for the blades to stop completely before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
SUITABLE FOR USE IN
WET LOCATIONS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR CLEANING
THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.

INSTALLING THE FAN
MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn't an existing 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.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet box. Do not use a plastic outlet box.
Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a
steep, sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from your Minka-Aire®dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need to install
a hanger bar as shown in Fig. 4 (available at your Minka-Aire® dealer).

WARNING:
To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.
NOTE: The Aire Control® System is equipped with a learning frequency
function which has 256 code combinations to prevent potential
interference from other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver
and Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. (Fig. 11) No
frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another fan
within the same home or area with a seperate frequency code please see
the "frequency interference" troubleshooting section of this instruction
manual to learn how to change the frequency.
Step 1.
Step 1.
Insert Receiver into Hanger Bracket with the flat side of the
Receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 12)
Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE
wire from the fan to the WHITE wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the
Receiver. Connect the BLACK wire from the fan to the BLACK wire
marked "TO MOTOR L" from the Receiver.
Note: Fan must be installed from a maximum distance of 40 feet from

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Step 3. Receiver to House Supply Wires Electrical Connections:
Connect the WHITE wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the WHITE
wire marked "AC in N" from the receiver. Connect the BLACK wire
(Hot) from the outlet box to the BLACK wire marked "AC in L" from
the receiver. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts
provided. (Fig. 13)
Step 4. If your outlet box has a GROUND wire (Green or Bare Copper)
connect this wire to the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground
wires. If your outlet box does not have a Ground Wire, then connect
the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground Wires together. Secure
wire connection with the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 13)
After all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose
strands. As an additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic
wire connectors to the wires with electrical tape.

Speed settings for warm or cold weather
depend on factors such as room size, ceiling
height and number of fans.
NOTE: wait for fan to stop before changing the
setting of the slide switch.
Warm Weather (forward)
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect
as shown in Figure 18. This allows you to set
your air conditioner on a warmer setting
without affecting your comfort.
Cool Weather (Reverse)
An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the
ceiling area as shown in Figure 19. This allows
you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting
without affecting your comfort.

Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.
1. Because of the fan's natural movement some connections may become
loose. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments
twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to remove
fan from the ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over
the year. CAUTION; many common household cleaning products contain
chemicals that could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint
free cloth and soapy water.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light
coat of furniture polish for additional protection and enhanced beauty.
Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from
the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water
and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER.
DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
