To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has been turned off 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 floor 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 finish, 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.

1. Mounting Options
CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, ensure electricity has been
turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning.
If there isn’t an existing UL/cUL listed outlet box, please refer to the
following instructions. Secure the outlet box directly to the building
structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The
outlet box and support structure must be able to fully support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs/15.9 kg). Do not use plastic
outlet boxes. Use only UL/cUL listed outlet boxes marked
“FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure.
Figures 1-1D are examples of different ways to mount the
outlet box.
NOTE: To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no
ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar.
NOTE: Downrod fans can be suspended up to a maximum
recommended length of 72” using additional downrods
(sold separately) and the included 80” lead wire.
NOTE: The sloped ceiling kit (sold separately) is required for sloped
ceiling applications, and will accommodate slopes up to 45° (Fig. 1B).
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade
clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling (Fig. 1B).
