Before You Begin:
- Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker.
- Gather all necessary tools (screwdriver, wire strippers, ladder, etc.).
- Verify that you have all parts included in the package. Note: Ceiling mounting screws may not be included and might need to be purchased separately depending on your ceiling type.
Installation Steps (General):
- Mounting Bracket Installation: Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling junction box. Ensure the junction box is rated for ceiling fan support.
- Downrod Assembly: Attach the downrod to the motor housing. For angled ceilings, a separate angle bracket may be required.
- Wiring Connections: Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the provided wiring diagram. This typically involves connecting ground, neutral, and live wires for both the fan and light functions.
- Canopy Installation: Slide the canopy up to the ceiling and secure it to the mounting bracket.
- Blade Attachment: Attach the fan blades to the blade irons, then secure the blade irons to the motor housing. It is often easier to attach blades before hanging the motor if possible, but follow the specific manual's guidance.
- Light Kit Assembly: Install the light kit, including the LED bulbs and frosted globe.
- Final Checks: Ensure all connections are secure and all screws are tightened. Restore power and test the fan and light functions.

- Winter Mode (Upward Airflow): Set the switch to the position that causes the blades to rotate clockwise, drawing air up towards the ceiling to circulate warm air.
- Always turn off the fan and wait for the blades to stop completely before changing the direction switch.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.

Tightening Fasteners:
