Zephyr 52" Ceiling Fan
Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
Note: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when
installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from your
Minka-Aire® dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need
to install a hanger bar as shown in Fig. 4 (available at your Minka-Aire® dealer).
WARNING: All of the parts, hardware and components such as the hanger bracket
and hanger ball have been provided for your safety and the proper installation of
your new ceiling fan. The use of other parts, hardware or components not supplied
by Minka Aire® with the fan will void the Minka Aire® Warranty.
REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the steps below to hang your fanRE
properly:
Step 1. Secure the Hanger Bracket to the ceiling outlet box using the screws
provided with your outlet box in conjunction with the lock-washers provided with the
fan. (Fig. 5)
Step 2. Loosen the two Set Screws and remove the Hitch Pin and Lock Pin from the
coupling located on the top of the Motor Assembly. (Fig. 6)
Step 3. Remove the Hanger Ball from the Downrod Assembly by loosening the Set
Screw and removing the Cross Pin. (Fig. 7)
Step 4. Carefully feed fan wires up through the downrod. (Fig. 8) Thread Downrod
into the Coupling until the holes are lined up and secure with the Lock Pin and Hitch
Pin previously removed, tighten Set Screws. (Fig. 9)
Step 5. Slip coupling cover, canopy cover and canopy onto downrod. (Fig. 9)
Carefully reinstall hanger ball onto rod being sure that cross pin is in correct
position, set screws are tighten and wires are not twisted.
Step 6. Place downrod rubber cover onto the hanger ball. (Fig. 9)
Step 7. Lift the Motor Assembly and place the Hanger Ball into the Hanger Bracket.
Rotate the Motor Assembly as needed until the check groove from the Hanger Ball
rests firmly over the registration tab from the Hanger Bracket. Motor Assembly
should not rotate if this is done correctly. (Fig. 10)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.
NOTE: The Aire Control® System is equipped with a learning frequency function
which has 256 code combinations to prevent potential interference from other
remote units. The frequency on your Receiver and Transmitter units have been
preset at the factory. (Fig. 11) No frequency change is necessary, should you
desire to install another fan within the same home or area with a seperate frequency
code please see the "frequency interference" troubleshooting section of this
instruction manual to learn how to change the frequency.
Step Step 1.1. Insert Receiver into Hanger Bracket with the flat side of the Receiver
facing the ceiling. (Fig. 12)

Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE wire from the
fan to the WHITE wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the Receiver. Connect the
BLACK wire from the fan to the BLACK wire marked "TO MOTOR L" from the
Receiver. Connect the BLUE wire from the fan to the BLUE wire marked "For Light"
from the Receiver.
NOTE: If your ceiling fan features an UP Light: Connect the ORANGE wire from the
fan to the ORANGE wire marked "For Up Light" from the Receiver. Otherwise
disregard this step and proceed to secure all wire connections with the plastic wire
nuts provided. (Fig. 13)
Note: Fan must be installed from a maximum distance of 40 feet from the
transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the transmitting unit and the
fan's receiving unit.
Step 3. Receiver to House Supply Wires Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE
wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the WHITE wire marked "AC in N" from the
receiver. Connect the BLACK wire (Hot) from the outlet box to the BLACK wire
marked "AC in L" from the receiver. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire
nuts provided. (Fig. 13)
Step 4. If your outlet box has a GROUND wire (Green or Bare Copper) connect this
wire to the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground wires. If your outlet box does
not have a Ground Wire, then connect the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground
Wires together. Secure wire connection with the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 13)
After all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose strands. As an
additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic wire connectors to the wires
with electrical tape.
FINISHING THE INSTALLATION
Step 1. Remove 1 of the 2 screws from the bottom of the hanger bracket and loosen
the other one half a turn from the screw head.
Step 2. Slide the canopy up towards the hanger bracket and place the key hole on
the canopy over the screw on the hanger bracket, turn canopy until it locks in place
at the narrow section of the key holes. (Fig. 14)
Step 3. Align the circular hole on canopy with the remaining hole on the hanger
bracket, secure by tightening the two set screws.
Note: Adjust the canopy screws as necessary until the canopy and canopy cover are
snug.
ATTACHING THE FAN BLADES
Insert one fan blade into the blade slot on the motor housing and secure with the
blade support plates and screws. Securely tighten screws. Repeat process with
other blades. (Fig. 15)
INSTALLING THE MOUNTING PLATE
Step 1. Remove 1 of 3 screws from the mounting ring and loosen the other 2
screws. (Do not remove)
Step 2. Place the key holes from the mounting plate over the 2 screws previously
loosened from the mounting ring, turn mounting plate until it locks in place at the
narrow section of the key holes. Secure by tightening the 2 screws previously
loosened and the one previously removed. (Fig. 16)
Step 2. Raise glass shade up against bottom of fan housing and secure it to the fan
by turning the glass shade clockwise until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (Fig. 9)

INSTALLING THE LIGHT BULB & GLASS SHADE
WARNING: Shut off the power supply before removing or replacing lamp. In
handling of halogen bulb, care should be taken not to touch it with your bare hands.
Oil residue will shorten the life of the halogen bulb. If you accidentally come into
contact, wipe thoroughly with a clean, lint-free, cotton cloth. Allow the bulb to cool for
10 minutes before changing the bulb. Use light bulb in accordance with the fan's
specification. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WATTAGE RATING.
ATTENTION: The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires this fan to be equipped with a
190 watt limiting device. If lamping exceeds 190 watts, the ceiling fan's light kit will
shut off automatically.
Step 1. Install 1x75W halogen bulb (included) into bulb socket.
Step 2. Raise glass shade up against bottom of fan housing and secure it to the fan
by turning the glass shade clockwise until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (Fig. 17)
NOTE: The metal light cover included with your fan is an option to replace the glass
for the light in the event that you prefer not to use the light feature of your fan. The
metal light cover is not necessary for the light operation; it can be saved for later use
if desired.
Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on factors such as room size,
ceiling height and number of fans.
NOTE: wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the slide switch.
Warm Weather (forward)
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 18. This allows
you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool Weather (Reverse)
An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 19.
This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your
comfort.
CARE OF YOUR FAN
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. (It is not necessary to remove fan from the ceiling).
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the year.
CAUTION; many common household cleaning products contain chemicals that
could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint free cloth and soapy water.
If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light coat of
furniture polish for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small
scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water and a
soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO
NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
