4.2. Mounting Bracket and Wiring
Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling fan-rated outlet box. Pass the electrical wires from the ceiling through the center of the mounting bracket. Lift the fan assembly and hang the mounting ball from the downrod into the mounting bracket, ensuring it is seated correctly.
Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the wiring diagram in your installation manual. Typically, black wires connect to black, white to white, and bare copper/green wires serve as ground connections. Use the provided wire nuts and ensure all connections are secure. Carefully tuck all wires and the receiver (if applicable) into the outlet box.
4.3. Attaching Fan Blades and Light Kit
Attach the two fan blades to the motor housing using the provided screws. It is recommended to loosely attach all screws first, then go back and securely tighten them to prevent wobbling.
If your fan includes a light kit, install it to the bottom of the motor housing using the designated screws. Connect the light kit's wiring to the fan's internal wiring as per the instructions. Finally, attach the glass shade by aligning it and twisting it into place.

5.3. Airflow Direction (Seasonal Use)
The fan features a reversible DC motor, allowing for seasonal adjustment of airflow:
- Counter-Clockwise / Forward: Used during warmer months to create a downward breeze, making the room feel cooler.
- Clockwise / Reverse: Used during cooler months to create an upward draft, pushing warm air from the ceiling down the walls to make the room feel warmer.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ceiling fan.
6.1. Cleaning
Clean the fan periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish and motor. Ensure the fan is turned off and power is disconnected before cleaning.
6.2. Blade Balancing
If the fan wobbles during operation, check that all blade screws and downrod set screws are securely tightened. If wobbling persists, you may need to rebalance the blades. This can sometimes be achieved by randomly switching the position of two blades on the fan.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your fan, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Fan does not turn on: Check the circuit breaker to ensure power is supplied. Verify remote control battery and pairing (refer to Section 5.2).
- Fan wobbles: Ensure all blade screws and downrod set screws are tightened. Check for any bent or damaged blades.
- Remote control not working: Replace the remote battery. Re-pair the remote with the fan (refer to Section 5.2).
