To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned o at the circuit breaker
before beginning. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code “ANSI/NFPA
70” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a licensed electrician.
The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1m) clearance from the trailing edge of
the fan blades to the oor and a minimum of 1.5 ft (0.5m) from the edge of the fan blades to the
surrounding walls. Never place objects in the path of the fan blades. To avoid personal injury or
damage to the fan and other items, please be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the motor or nish, do not use water or chemicals
when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable
for most cleaning.
After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed
carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and
the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box, and the ungrounded conductor
on the other side of the outlet box.
All set screws must be checked and re-tightened
where necessary before installation.
