1. SAFETY RULES
For operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting information,
visit modernforms.com/help.
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned o
at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code“ANSI/
NFPA 70” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be per-
formed by a qualied licensed and insured
electrician.
3. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and
capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 lbs (15.9 kg). Use only
UL-listed outlet boxes marked“FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
4. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. (2.1m)
clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the oor.
5. Never place objects in the path of the blades.
6. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items,
be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
7. Do not use chemicals when cleaning the fan or fan blades.
A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most
cleaning.
8. 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-ground-
ing conductor on one side of the outlet
box and ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
9. All set screws must be checked and re-tightened where necessary before
installation.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed and
operated with the supplied wall control, or controlled from the Modern Forms
app or WIFI Touch Panel wall control (not included).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms
when installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan.
WARNING: Do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, personal injury or damage to
the fan or other items, mount the fan to the outlet box marked acceptable for fan
support with the screws provided with the outlet box.
NOTE: For use only with light kits marked “Suitable for use in wet locations.”
NOTE: A maximum of 2 fans can operate on a circuit through the supplied wall
control.
NOTE: A maximum of 12 fans can operate on a circuit through an on/o switch
or a breaker when utilizing the Modern Forms app for the fan control (without
the wall control in the circuit).

5. MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn’t an existing UL/cUL listed mounting box, then read the
following instructions. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning o
circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure.
Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and its sup-
port must be able to fully support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs).
Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1 and 2 are examples of dierent ways to mount the
outlet box.
To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling joist, you may
need an installation hanger bar as shown in (Fig. 3).

6. INSTALLING THE MOUNTING BRACKET
REMEMBER to turn o power at the breaker.
Follow the steps below to hang your fan properly:
1. Disconnect power to the fan location at the breaker. A licensed electrician
must install the fan.
2. There are four screws on top of the motor assembly. Remove two that are
on the opposite of eachother and save for section 10. Loosen remaining
two.
3. Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole in the ceiling
mounting bracket as shown in Figure 4.
4. Secure the hanger plate and hanger gasket to the ceiling outlet box with
the screws and washers provided (Fig. 5).

9. MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned o at
the main fuse box before wiring.
WARNING: Installation of this fan requires that a two-conductor cable with
ground wire be run between ceiling and wall outlet box.
WARNING: Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and
that no bare wire is visible at the wire nuts, except for the ground wire.
If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience,
have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
Insert the receiver into the mounting bracket with the at side of the receiver
facing the ceiling (Fig. 9).
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your household wiring. Use the
plastic wire nuts with your fan. Secure the plastic wire nuts with electrical tape.
Make sure there are no loose strands or connections.

FIGURE 22
FIGURE 23
NOTE: A maximum of 2 fans can operate on a circuit through the wall
control.
NOTE: A maximum of 12 fans can operate on a circuit through an on/o
switch or breaker when utilizing the app for the fan control (without the wall
control in the circuit).
Summer Mode - (counter-clockwise) A downward airow creates a cooling eect
as shown in Fig. 22. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting
without aecting your comfort.
Winter Mode - (clockwise) An upward airow moves warm air o the ceiling area and
redistributes the warm air to the living space as shown in Fig. 23. This should allow for
savings on heating costs.
NOTE: To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the reverse button while the
fan is running.
NOTE: Fans do not change the temperature in the room, they change the comfort
level allowing you to save energy.
