breaker.
Secure the UL listed fan outlet box directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and
building materials. The outlet box and its support

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR OTHER PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT ROOM
CONDITIONER ONLY TO AN OUTLET BOX MARKED
ACCEPTABLE FOR CEILING FAN SUPPORT AND USE
THE MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE
OUTLET BOX. OUTLET BOXES COMMONLY USED
FOR THE SUPPORT OF LIGHTING FIXTURES MAY
NOT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR ROOM CONDITIONER
SUPPORT AND MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED.
CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.
4. Installing Your Room Conditioner
Note: You may need a longer down-rod to
maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The
maximum angle available is 30 degrees.
If the canopy touches the down-rod,
remove the decorative canopy bottom
cover and turn the canopy 180 degree
before attaching the canopy to the
mounting plate.
To hang your room conditioner where there
is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you
may need an installation hanger bar as
shown in Figure 4.

REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the
steps below to hang your Room Conditioner
properly.
Hanging the Room Conditioner
FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL LOCKING
PIN AS IN STEP FIVE COULD RESULT IN
ROOM CONDITIONER LOOSENING AND
POSSIBLY FALLING.
NOTE: This room conditioner is supplied with
two types of hanging assemblies; the standard
installation using the downrod with ball and socket
mounting, and the “close to ceiling” mounting.
The “close to ceiling” mounting is recommended
in rooms with less than 8 foot ceilings or in areas
where additional space is desired from the floor
to the room conditioner blades. When using a
standard downrod installation, the distance from
the ceiling to the bottom of the room conditioner
blades will be approximately twelve inches.
[NOTE: An extra six inch downrod is included
that will increase this distance to fifteen inches.
Please see page seven for steps for changing the
downrod.] The close to ceiling installation reduces
the distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the
room conditioner blades to approximately 9
inches.
STANDARD CEILING MOUNTING
1. Remove the canopy ring from the canopy
by turning the ring to the right until it
unlocks. (Figure 5)
Once you have decided which ceiling
installation you will use, proceed with the
following instructions. Where necessary, each
section of the instructions will note the different
procedures to follow for the two types of
installation.
2.Remove the mountingplate fromthe canopy
by loosening the four screws on the top of
the canopy. Remove the two non-slotted
screws. This will enable you to remove the
mounting plate. (Figure 6)
3. Route the wires exiting the top of the room
conditioner through the canopy ring. Make
sure the slot openings are on top. Route the
wires through the canopy and then through
the ball/downrod assembly and collar
cover. (Figure 7)
4. Loosen, but do not remove, the set screw
on the collar on the top of the motor
housing.
5. Align the holes at the bottom of the down
rod with holes on the collar on top of the
motor housing. Carefully insert the hanger
pin through the holes in the collar and the
down rod. Insert the locking pin through
the hole near the end of the hanger pin until
it snaps into its locked position.

loosening the set screw at the top of the
downrod which holds the hanger ball to the
downrod. (This is not the screw with the green
ground wire attached).
2. Slide the hanger ball down the downrod and
remove the support pin.
3. Insert the support pin in the holes at the top of
the 6” downrod and slide the hanger ball up
the 6” downrod. Make sure the support pin is
properly seated in the grooves in the top of the
hanger ball.
4. Tighten the set screw.
5. Return to page 5 to continue the installation.
WARNING
WHEN USING THE STANDARD BALL HANGER
PIPE MOUNTING, THE TAB IN THE RING AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTING PLATE MUST REST
IN THE GROOVE OF THE HANGER BALL. FAILURE
TO PROPERLY SEAL THE TAB IN THE GROOVE
COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO WIRING.
Installing Room Conditioner
to the Electrical Box
1. Pass the 120 Volt supply wires through the center
hole in the ceiling mounting plates shown in Figure
12.
2. Remove the mounting screws from the outlet
box,install the flat washers (supplied in the
hardware bag) to the mounting screws, then install
the ceiling mounting plate on the electrical box by
using 2 mounting screws with flat washers attached.
When using close to ceiling mounting, it is
important that the mounting plate be level. If
necessary use leveling washers (not included)
between the mounting plate and the electrical box.
Note that the flat side of the mounting plate is to be
toward the electrical box.
3. Securely tighten the 2 mounting screws.
4. Carefully lift the Room Conditioner assembly
up to the ceiling mounting plate. If using close to
ceiling mounting, hang the Room Conditioner on
the hook provided by utilizing one of the holes at
the outer rim of the ceiling canopy. If using standard
mounting, seat the hanger ball in the mounting plate
socket. Make sure the tab on the mounting socket
is properly seated in the groove in the hanging ball.
WARNING
THE HOOK AS SHOWN IN FIG. 13 IS ONLY
TO BALANCE ROOM CONDITIONER WHILE
ATTACHING WIRING. FAILURE TO HANG AS
SHOWN IN FIG. 13 MAY RESULT IN HOOK
BREAKING CAUSING THE ROOM
CONDITIONER TO FALL. HOOK MUST PASS
FROM INSIDE TO OUTSIDE OF CANOPY.
CAUTION
WHEN MOUNTING THE ROOM CONDITIONER ON
A SLOPED CEILING, THE STANDARD BALL
DOWNROD MOUNTING METHOD MUST BE
USED. THE MOUNTING PLATE MUST BE
MOUNTED SO THAT THE SLOT OPENINGS ARE
ON THE LOWER SIDE BY SLIDING THE
MOUNTING PLATE FROM THE TOP DOWN.

REMEMBER to disconnect the power.
If you feel that you do not have enough
electrical wiring knowledge or experience,
have your Room Conditioner installed by
a licensed electrician.
Follow the steps below to connect your
Room Conditioner to your household
wiring. Use the wire connecting nuts
supplied with the Room Conditioner.
Secure the connectors with electrical tape.
Make sure there are no loose strands or
connections.
Step 1 Connect the Room Conditioner
supply (black) wire to the black household
supplied wire with wire nuts as shown in
Figure 14.
Step 2 Connect the neutral Room
Conditioner (white) wire to the white
neutral household wire with supplied wire
nuts.
Step 3 Connect the two green Room
Conditioner ground wires, located on the
Making the Electrical
Connections
downrod and mounting bracket, to the
household ground wire with the supplied
wire nuts. When using close to ceiling
mounting, there is only one green ground
wire from the ceiling mounting bracket,
since the ball downrod assembly is not
there.
Step 4 After connecting the wires, spread
them apart so that the green and white
wires are on one side of the outlet box and
the black wires are on the other side.
Step 5 Turn the wire connecting nuts
upward and push the wiring into the outlet
box.
