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 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 performed by a licensed electrician.
3. To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, personal injury or damage to
the fan or other items, the outlet box and support structure must be
securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35
Ibs (15.9 kg). Use only UL/cUL
listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
Use only the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.
4. 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.
5. Never place objects in the path of the fan blades.
6. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items,
please be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
7. 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.
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-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box,
and the 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: Do not install or use your fan if any part(s) is/are damaged or
missing. This product is designed for use only with the supplied parts and/

5FR-W1922-56L
or accessories designated for use with this product by Modern Forms.
Substitution of parts or accessories not designated for use with this product
by Modern Forms could result in personal injury or property damage and
will void the warranty. Contact an authorized dealer or the manufacturer if
any parts are damaged or missing.
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 Wi-Fi Touch Panel Wall Control
(not included).
WARNING: Do not use power tools to assemble or install your fan. Using
power tools can result in improper assembly which can lead to noise or fan
damage, personal injury or property damage.
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: Do not operate fan unless fan blades are in place. Noise and fan
damage can occur.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by young
children without supervision.
CAUTION: Before assembling your fan, refer to the“Making the Electrical

5. Mounting Options
CAUTION: To prevent electrical shock, ensure electricity has been turned o
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.
