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 10 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.

WARNING
SUPPORT DIRECTLY FROM BUILDING STRUCTURE.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER PERSONAL INJURY. MOUNT FAN DIRECTLY TO THE BUILDING JOIST USING THE WOOD SCREWS AND
WASHERS PROVIDED WITH THE FAN. THE WOOD SCREWS MUST GO THROUGH THE OUTLET BOX VIA THE KNOCK OUTS. 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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRONIC SHOCK, THIS FAN ONLY CAN USE UC7084T REMOTE CONTROL ONLY.

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).

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. 11) 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.
FREQUENCY
Fig. 11
The “D (DIMMER)” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs
except for CFL bulbs. The “ON (ON/OFF)” selection is the light on only (no dimming function)
and is to be used with CFL bulbs as CFL bulbs cannot be dimmed properly. The LED bulb
included with this fan is dimmable. The switch has to be set at "D."

Step 1. Motor 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 motor. Connect the BLACK wire (Hot)
from the outlet box to the BLACK wire marked "AC in L" from the motor. Secure all wire connections
with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 12)
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. 12)
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.

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.
