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 proceeding with maintenance or cleaning.

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).

Restore power to ceiling fan and test for proper operation.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size. Ceiling height, number of fans, etc.
The Reverse switch is located on the switch cup. Slide the switch to the Left for warm weather operation. Slide the switch to the Right for cool
weather operation.
NOTE:
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 Fig. 20. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting
your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse)
An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in Fig. 21. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without
affecting your comfort.
OPERATING YOUR FAN
The pull chain controls the fan speed as follows: 1st pull - High , 2nd pul l - Med, 3rd pull - Low and 4th pul l - Off.

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 years. Use only a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the
finish. Plated finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimize discoloration
or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning, this could damage the
motor, wood blades or possibly cause an electrical shock.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM
Fan Sounds Noisy
SOLUTION
Allow a 24-hour "break-in" period. Most noises as sociated with a new
fan go away during this time.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor
hub are tight.
Some fan motors are sensitive to signa ls from solid-state variable
speed controls. If you have installed this type of control, choose and
install another type of control.
Check fuses or circuit breakers.
Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in
switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
Check to make sure the reverse is set to one side. If switch is located
in the middle it might not make proper contact.
