SAFETY RULES
1
1. To ensure the success of the installation be sure to read the instructions and study the diagrams thoroughly.
2. For your safety, all electrical connection and disconnection must be performed by a Licensed Electrician.
3. The fixing point for the fan must be able to support a weight of at least 50lb. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling junction box, the box and it’s
fixing must be able to support the moving weight of the fan and must not twist or work loose.
4. The fan must be earthed.
5. Do not connect the fan motor to a dimmer switch. This may give an unsatisfactory performance (motor hum) and cause damage to the motor. Only
use the wall controller supplied.
6. It is not recommended that ceiling fans and gas appliances be operated in the same room at the same time.
7. To prevent damage the fan must be turned off and stopped completely before reversing the fan direction.
8. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating, as this may cause injury, damage the blades and upset the balance of the unit
causing it to wobble.
9. Once the fan is completely installed make sure that all connections are secured and tightened to prevent any problems.
10. Due to the fan’s natural movement, some connections may loosen. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year
to make sure they are all secured. If they are loose, tighten with a suitable tool.

WARNING
THE FAN BASE MUST BE SECURELY MOUNTED AND CAPABLE OF RELIABLY SUPPORTING AT LEAST 50 LBS. OUTLET BOXES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE
FOR FAN SUPPORT. SEE PAGE 4 OF OWNER’S MANUAL FOR SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS. 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.
NOTE: READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
NOTE: The important safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may

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 safety approved 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 dealer of Minka-Aire.
