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:
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

WARNING

ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET BOX IN CONJUCTION WITH THE LOCK WASHERS PROVIDED WITH THE
FAN. MOST OUTLET BOXES COMMONLY USED FOR FAN SUPPORT OF LIGHTING FIXTURES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.
CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.
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:
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).

Step 3. Remove the hanger ball from the downrod assembly by loosening
the set screw and removing the cross pin. (Fig. 7)
Step 4. Carefully feed fan wires up through the downrod. (Fig. 8) Thread
downrod into the coupling until the holes are lined up and secure with
the lock pin and hitch pin previously removed, tighten set screws. (Fig. 9)

WARNING
WARNING:
To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is turned off at the
main fuse or breaker box before wiring.
NOTE:
NOTE:
The Aire Control®System is equipped with a learning frequency function which
has 1024 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. Insert Receiver into Hanger Bracket with the flat side of the Receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 12)
Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Be sure to snap together the 2-PIN, 4-PIN connectors and sansor wire connector from the receiver
and fan. (Fig. 13)
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.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Fan must be installed from a maximum distance of 40 feet from the transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the
transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.

THE FOLLOWING OPERATION MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE INSTALLING THE GLASS SHADE.
Step 1. Insert the blades into the motor housing blade slots, push blade until it stops. You should be
able to hear the inside safety pin drops into the blade hole to secure the blade in place. (Fig. 15)
CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Re-check each blade to make sure all blades are secured to the motor by holding the blade
from the tip and gently pulling it outwards. The blades should be snug to the motor housing
without any up, down or sideways play.
All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because plastic injection varies in density, the fan may wobble
even though the blades are weight matched.
BLADE REMOVAL
BLADE REMOVAL
In the event that the blades need to be removed, use the blade removal tool included with your fan.
Remove the rubber plug first, then remove the blades by pulling the safety pin via the opening
above the blade in the motor housing as shown and replace the rubber plug. (Fig. 16)
