- Secure the Fan: Once wiring is complete, carefully lift the fan and align the downrod ball with the mounting bracket socket. Secure the fan with the provided screws.
- Attach the Blades: Attach each of the 5 reversible blades to the blade holders using the provided screws. Ensure they are securely fastened. You can choose the light wood or dark wood side of the blades to face downwards.
- Install the Light Kit: Connect the light kit wiring to the fan's light kit wires. Secure the light kit to the fan housing. Install the LED bulb (if not pre-installed) and attach the light cover.
