1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before
beginning.
2. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All electri-
cal connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code. If you
are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualified and
licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make
the proper installation (s) and connections.
3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades
should be at least 7 feet from floor.
4. When mounting on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as “suitable for fan support” is required.
The box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan’s listed weight.
The box must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be performed by
qualified personnel.
5. Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton
until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you
do not mix fan blade sets, as each blade is part of a weighted set.
6. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one
side of the outlet box, and the “HOT” wires on the other side.
7. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should
be installed per the light kit’s installation instructions.
8. After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling
and/or causing damage or injury.
9. The fan can be made to work immediately after installation - the bearings are adequately charged with grease so
that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.

Warnings:
• Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off circuit breaker before installing the fan and/or
optional lighting.
• Support directly from building structure.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for
fan support” and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, only use this fan with an appropriate speed con-
trol device designed for use with ceiling fans if you choose a wall control. DO NOT USE INCANDESCENT LIGHT
DIMMER. Do not use this fan with any transformer type fan speed control device.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or
cleaning the fan. Do not insert any objects (s) between rotating fan blades.
NOTE: The important precautions, safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and careful-
ness are factors which cannot be built into this product. These factors must be supplied by the person (s) installing,

Verify that you have all parts before beginning the installation. Check foam insert closely for missing parts. Remove motor
from packing. To avoid damage to finish, assemble motor on soft padded surface or use the original foam inset in motor box.
Do not lay fan on its side as this could result in shifting of motor in decorative enclosure.
Caution: To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All
wiring must be in accordance with National and Local Electrical Codes and the ceiling fan must be grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock.

1. Place fiber washer on screw. Insert this assembly through the blade and start the screw into the blade arm. Repeat
this procedure without tightening the screw until all 3 screws have been started into the blade arm (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Fans that have painted finishes may be packed with gaskets that can be used between the blade arm and blade
to help prevent a clicking noise that may develop if blade screws loosen over time.
2. Tighten each screw starting with center screw.
3. Fasten blade assembly to motor with provided screws and metal lockwashers (Fig. 2). Repeat procedure for
remaining blades. Make sure screws are TIGHT! Loose motor screws can contribute to unnecessary humming
and wobbling during operation.
NOTE: Cordless power screwdrivers are NOT
recommended, as they tend to strip the heads
of the screws and usually will not fully compress
the spring washers on the motor screws. Use a
large flat blade screwdriver for final tightening
to fully compress the spring washers. This will
help ensure proper alignment of the blades and
noise-free, wobble-free running.

NOTE: For use with a standard remote control.
Multiple code choices are included with your fan’s remote control in case:
• you have more than one remote control fan and want them to respond only to their own remote control
• you have other radio controlled devices in your home that may interfere with the fan remote control (i.e. garage
door opener)
• you experience radio interference on a chosen frequency (code setting)
Se t -u p a n d op e r a t I n g In S t r u c t I o n S
Setting the code:
This unit has 16 different code combinations. To set the code, perform these steps:
1. Setting the code on the TRANSMITTER:
a. Remove battery cover.
b. Slide code switches to your choice of ON or OFF position. Use a small screwdriver or ball point pen to slide
each switch firmly up or down.
c. Install 9v battery (not included).
d. Replace battery cover on transmitter.
2. Setting the code on the RECEIVER:
a. Locate the code switches on the bottom of the remote receiver.
b. Slide code switches to the SAME POSITIONS as set on your transmitter.
Operating buttons on the transmitter:
HI – fan high speed
MED – fan medium speed
LOW – fan low speed
FAN OFF – fan speed off
LIGHT – light brightness and off
• The light function is controlled by pressing the light button. Hold button down to increase or decrease light bright-
ness. Tap button quickly to turn light off or on.
• Keep pressing the button for more than one second to dim the light and vary it cyclically from dim to bright and back
again.
• The light button has auto return (memory function), so it will stay at the same brightness as the last time it was turned off.
• Range of the transmitter is approximately 25 ft.

1. If fan will not start: Check main and branch circuit breakers and/or fuses. Check line wire connections to fan and switch
housing wiring. Make sure forward/reverse switch is set to one or the other position, not stuck in between.
2. If fan is noisy: Check and make sure that all screws in motor housing are snug (but not over tight). Check that the screws
securing blade brackets to the motor are tight. Check that wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each
other or the interior wall of the switch housing. Check that all glassware is finger tight and that bulb (s) are well held in the
sockets, if a light kit is used. Check that the canopy is firmly attached to hanging bracket and not vibrating against ceiling.
3. If fan wobbles: Check that all blades are firmly screwed into blade arms. Check that all blade arms are firmly secured to the
motor. Make sure that the light kit (if present) is firmly attached to switch housing and that all glassware and shades are
fastened properly. Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip to blade tip - if
measurements from blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to bracket one at a time and adjust
blade (s) so that distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother operation.
Blade arms can be bent slightly to restore same pitch to all blades if a blade is different than the other blades when viewed
edge on.

Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is about the only maintenance that is needed. Only use a soft brush or lint free cloth
to avoid scratching the finish. DO NOT use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the wood
blades, and/or create the possibility of electrical shock.
NOTE: Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade screws to prevent clicking or humming sound during
operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges and in fans with painted or high
gloss blades.
NOTE: When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending - no pressure should be applied to
the blades.
