SAFETY RULES

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: 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.

11. Suitable for use in Wet Locations when installed in a GFCI Protected Branch Circuit.

SUITABLE FOR USE IN

WET LOCATIONS

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).

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. 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: Connect the WHITE

wire from the fan to the WHITE wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the

Receiver. Connect the BLACK wire from the fan to the BLACK wire

marked "TO MOTOR L" from the Receiver. Connect the BLUE wire from

the fan to the BLUE wire marked "For Light" from the Receiver.

NOTE: If your ceiling fan features an UP Light: Connect the ORANGE wire

from the fan to the ORANGE wire marked "For Up Light" from the

Receiver. Otherwise disregard this step and proceed to secure all wire

connections with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 13 & 14)

Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum distance of 40 feet from the

transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the

transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

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 & 14)

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 & 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.

INSTALLING THE LIGHT KIT

WARNING: Shut off the power supply before removing or replacing lamp. In handling of halogen bulb, care should be taken not to touch it with

your bare hands. Oil residue will shorten the life of the halogen bulb. If you accidentally come into contact, wipe thoroughly with a clean, lint-free,

cotton cloth. Allow the bulb to cool for 10 minutes before changing the bulb. Use light bulb in accordance with the fan's specification. DO NOT

EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WATTAGE RATING.

ATTENTION: The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires this fan to be equipped with a 190 watt limiting device. If lamping exceeds 190 watts, the

ceiling fan's light kit will shut off automatically.

Step 2. (Fig. 18) Place the Light Kit over the bulb and against the bottom of the Motor Assembly. Be careful not to damage the bulb as you place the

bulb diffuser over it. Align the three alignment nuts from the Light Kit to the three keyed openings from the Motor Assembly, press the Light Kit

upwards at the same time you turn it clockwise until it locks in place.

NOTE; Follow the steps below if you decide to use the Switch Cup Cover instead of the Light Kit.

Step 3. (Fig. 19) Remove the two screws from the bulb socket, unplug the two wires from the bulb socket and remove it from the Motor Assembly.

Save bulb socket, screws and Light Kit for later use if desired.

Step 4. (Fig. 19) Place the Switch Cup cover against the Motor Assembly. Align the three alignment nuts from the Switch Cup Cover to the three

keyed openings from the Motor Assembly, press the Switch Cup Cover upwards at the same time you turn it clockwise until it locks in place.
