Choosing a location for the ceiling fan
32" (81.3 cm) from adjacent walls or obstructions.
· Choose a location where there is a high enough ceiling clearance (at least 6’ 11” (2.1 m) from the floor
to the ceiling fan’s lowest moving part).
· Ensure that the outlet box in the room’s ceiling can support the weight of the fan. Typically, if the
outlet box is marked “acceptable for fan support”, it can hold the fan securely.
Mounting options
Drop-mount (for normal ceilings)
· This method is preferred if the ceiling is sloped or vaulted, or if the ceiling
is extra high, requiring the need of a downrod (see Fig. 3).

3.3 Making Connections
Between fan and receiver:
3.1 Remote and Receiver Pairing (see Fig. 7a).
Codes are set by pushing the location of the dip switches located on the transmitter and receiver
up or down. It is important that the code used for both the remote and receiver are identical for
the two devices to be able to communicate; otherwise the remote will not be able to control
the fan.
If you plan to install more than one fan then each fan will require the remote and receive to
use a unique code, or else one remote will be able to control more than one fan.

MAINTENANCE
· Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support
connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.
· There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated bearings.
CARE AND CLEANING
· Dust your fan periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners or materials as they may
damage the unit.
· To prevent bending the blades during cleaning, support the blades so that no pressure is applied to
them.
Caution!
Do not allow water to come in contact with fan blades or the ceiling fan. Doing so will create
fire and /or shock hazards, damaging property.
