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 is equipped with a learning frequency
function which has 256 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. 2) No
frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another 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.
Caution! The dip switches on the receiving unit are covered with a
rubber cover, remove the rubber cover and then have it replaced after
making any changes to the dip switches.
Step 1 Connect the fan supply (black) wire to the black household supply
wire as shown in Figure 3 & 4.
Step 2. Connect the neutral fan (white) wire to the white neutral
household wire.
Step 3 Connect the fan ground wire (green) to the household ground
wire.
Step 4. 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.

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 drop into the blade hole to secure the blade in place. (Fig. 7)
CAUTION: Re-check each blade to make sure all blades are secured to the locking mechanism 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
In the event that the blades need to be removed, use the blade removal tool included with your fan.
Remove the two screws, washers and rubber covers from the motor housing. Remove the blades by
pulling the safety pin via the opening above the blade in the motor housing as shown.
IMPORTANT! Make sure to replace the rubber covers and screws. (Fig. 8)

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.
3. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the
blades.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
5. 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.
