the floor and 18 inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.
5. NOTE: THIS CEILING FAN EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT SPECIFIED BY UL FOR HANGING FROM A STANDARD OUTLET BOX. SPECIAL
REINFORCEMENT OF THE CEILING IS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION.
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. After you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.
8. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
9. Turn the fan off and wait for the blades to stop completely before proceeding with maintenance or cleaning.

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 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. 13) 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. 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. 14)
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. 14)
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
Remote Control only: Install two AAA 1.5 volt batteries (included). To prevent damage to transmitter remove the battery if not used for long periods
of time. IMPORTANT: THIS REMOTE CONTROL & DC FAN MOTOR ARE DESIGNED TO PERFORM A ONE TIME SELF CALIBRATION TEST. THIS
TEST WILL BEGIN ONCE A NEW CODE HAS BEEN SET, AND WILL LAST APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTES.
A. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 button:
These six buttons are used to set the fan speed
as follows:
1 = minimum speed
2 = low speed
3 = medium low speed
4 = medium speed
5 = medium high speed
6 = high speed
Your DC brushless motor is equipped with a self
learning frequency function remote control.
Restore power to ceiling fan and test the
transmitter as below for proper operation:
fans that feature an UP light ( button) and a
DOWN light ( button) that are controlled
independent of each other;
Press and release the button for the desired light
to turn the light ON or OFF. Press and hold the
button to set the desired light brightness. The
light will cycle between bright and dim settings
as long as the button is pressed. The light key
has an automatic auto-resume feature that
allows the light to remain at the same brightness
as the last time it was turned off.
B. Reverse button:
This button is used to change the direction of
the rotation of the blades; forward for warm
weather or reverse for cool weather.
C. button:
This button turns the power Off to the Fan.
D. Button:
These buttons turn the light ON or OFF and also
control the brightness settings of the light. The
following instructions apply to ceiling fans that
feature a DOWN light ( button) only or ceiling
