1.
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, ordinance, 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 top 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.
Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off the circuit breaker of the fuse box.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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 for this DC motor fans is equipped with a learning frequency
function which has 32 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. 13)
No frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another Minka Aire DC motor fan
within the same home or area with a separate frequency code please see the "frequency
interference" troubleshooting section of this instruction manual to learn how to change the
frequency.
Step 1. Motor to House Supply Wires Electrical Connections: Firmly snap the wire connection
plugs from the motor and the power cord together. (Fig. 14)
Connect the WHITE wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the WHITE wire marked "AC in N" in the
power cord. Connect the BLACK wire (Hot) from the outlet box to the BLACK wire marked "AC in
L" in the power cord. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 15) Fig. 13

Step 2. 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. 15)
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.

OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROL/WALL CONTROL
cool

Note: The auto learning function will only
mandate within 60 seconds when turning the
fan’s AC power ON.
1. Select desired frequency from the back of
transmitter.
2. Press the transmitter’s “Off” button, and
hold the “Off” button for over 10 seconds.
Once the receiver has detected the frequency,
the down light of your fan if applicable will
blink twice. (There is no indication if your fan
is not equipped with a light).
Note: The learning frequency function will
continue to retain the last set frequency even
when the AC power is shut off.
The DC motor has a built in safety feature
against obstruction during operation, if the fan motor
senses a obstruction for 60 seconds or more it will get
locked and will not rotate until the obstruction has
been removed and the power has been disconnected for
5 seconds.
2. Over 60W protection: When the receiver detects
motor power consumption which is greater than 60W,
the receiver’s power will stop and operation will be
immediately discontinued. If you want to re-start the
fan, Please remove obstacles and disconnect the power
by turning off the circuit breaker . And turn the power
on after 5 seconds.
3. “DIMMER” and “ON/OFF” dip switch:
The “DIMMER” selection is the light dimmable selection
and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The
“ON/OFF” selection is For CFL bulbs.

Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on
factors such as room size, ceiling height and number
of fans.
NOTE: to change the direction of the rotation of the
blades the fan must be in operation mode.
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.
