Choose one of the following mounting options:
Closemount method is best suited for ceilings lower than 8 feet. It does not utilize the downrod.
Downrod Mount is best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer
downrod (not included).
Angled Ceiling Mount is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to
ensure proper blade clearance from the ceiling. If using the angle mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is not
steeper than 10°.

WARNING
READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLING THE
FAN AND SAVE INSTRUCTIONS.
All set screws of the fan must be checked and retightened where necessary before installation.
To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets, balancing
the blades or cleaning fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
Before changing the fan direction, turn o the fan and wait for the fan blades to stop completely.
If a stationary appliance is not provided with a supply cord and a plug, or with other means for
disconnection from the main supply having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles, that means for
disconnection must be incorporated in the xed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
NOTE: The safeguards provided by these safety instructions and by the separate installation instructions
are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that
common sense, caution and care are factors which can not be built into this product. These factors must be
supplied by the person(s) installing, caring for and operating the fan.
CAUTION: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase
the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.
TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BE SURE TO SHUT OFF POWER AT THE MAIN FUSE OR CIRCUIT
BREAKER BOX BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS FIXTURE. TURNING OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER
BY USING THE LIGHT SWITCH IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, INSTALL THE FAN SO THAT THE BLADES ARE AT LEAST 7 FEET (2.1
METERS) ABOVE THE FLOOR AND AT LEAST 18 INCHES (0.5 METERS) FROM THE TIP OF THE BLADES TO
THE WALL.
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.
THE INSTALLATION HAS TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA
70-1999 AND LOCAL CODES. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL
WIRING, SEEK THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

IMPORTANT:
Before you begin installing or using the fan, carefully read the entire manual. If unsure about any part of the
installation, contact a qualied electrician.
Save all instructions.
NOTE: The fan weight is Net Weight: 17.4 lb (7.91 kg). Be sure the outlet box (sold separately) is securely attached
to the building structure and is marked “Acceptable For Fan Support”. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.

9. Secure all wiring connections together with wire
connectors according to the diagram and these steps:
• Connect the Green wires from the fan and the mounting
bracket to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire.
• Connect the Blue wire with white label from the
receiver to the Blue fan wire.
• Connect the Black wire with white label from the
receiver to the Black fan wire.
• Connect the White wire with white label from the
receiver to the White fan wire.
• Connect the Red wire with red label from the receiver to the
Black (hot/power) supply wire.
• Connect the White wire with red label from the receiver
to the White (neutral) supply wire.
Important: The Blue fan wire is power for the light. The
Black wire is power for the fan. The White wire is common/
neutral. The Green wire is the ground wire. If supply wires
are dierent colors than referred to above, a professional
electrician should determine proper wiring.

1. Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your
thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat
setting in winter without feeling a dierence in your
comfort.
Note: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse
switch.
In warmer weather, push the reverse switch left which
will result in downward airow creating a wind chill eect.
In cooler weather, push the reverse switch right, which
will result in upward airow that can help move stagnant,
hot air o the ceiling area.
IMPORTANT: The reverse switch must be set either
completely left or right in order for the fan to function
correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle
position, the fan will not operate.
2. To operate the fan using remote control, press and
release the following buttons:
A - High fan speed
B - Medium fan speed
C - Low fan speed
D - Turns the fan o. Press and hold this button for 5
seconds to enter Light Delay O mode, which will turn
o light after one minute. The LED on the remote control
will ash four times to conrm mode setting.
E - Turns the light on and o. Press and hold this button
to dim or brighten when using incandescent bulbs.
F - D/CFL Switch: Located inside the battery
compartment in remote transmitter. IMPORTANT: The
dimmer function does NOT work with CFL bulbs.

If you have diculty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation or
wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please
check the Troubleshooting section below. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing diculty in
installation, please contact the Service Department: 1-877-459-3267, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Central time.
PROBLEM SUGGESTED REMEDY
1. Fan does not start 1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Check power supply wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in
switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned o.
3. Make sure forward/reverse switch pushed completely up or down. Fan will not
operate when switch is in the middle.
4. Make sure that the wall control is turned ON.
1. Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug, but not overtightened.
2. Make sure the screws which attach the blade arm to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other
or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned o before entering switch housing.
4. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls.
DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
1. Ensure all blades are screwed rmly into blade mounts.
2. Ensure canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to outlet box and
outlet box is mounted rmly to ceiling joist.
3. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using a
balancing kit.
4. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side)
blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot (black) power
supply wire or to a separate power supply wire from outlet box.
2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.
3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.
4. Check for faulty light bulbs.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned o before entering switch housing.
1. Make sure the reverse switch is in the left position.
2. Change to higher fan speed by pulling the fan pull chain.
1. Turn the main power o and back on again. Within 30 seconds, press and hold
the high and low speed buttons on the remote control at the same time for 5
seconds. The LED indicator will ash 3 times. When syncing is complete, the fan
will start on the low speed.
2. Replace the transmitter battery with a new 12-volt battery.
2. Fan is noisy
3. Fan wobbles
4. Light does not work:
5. Weak airow:
6. Remote control does
