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 23°.

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.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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: 17.6 lb (8.0 kg), Gross Weight: 20.9 lb (9.5 kg). Be sure the outlet box (not

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.

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 before entering canopy.
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. If using a light kit, be sure the glass shades are nger tight. Check to be sure light
bulb are snug in sockets and not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists
from glass, remove glass and install a 1/4 in. wide rubber band on glass neck to
act as an insulator. Replace glass and tighten screws against rubber band.
5. 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 arms.
2. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to motor.
3. Ensure canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to outlet box and
outlet box is mounted rmly to ceiling joist.
4. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using a
balancing kit.
5. 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.
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. The fan must be on high and the light must be on for the remote to operate
properly. Pull the fan pull chain and press power button on transmitter. Repeat
up to 4 times.
2. 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 with the light (if applicable) o.
3. Replace the transmitter battery with a new 12-volt battery.
2. Fan is noisy
