Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your ceiling fan. It is recommended to have a second person assist during certain stages of installation.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Remove any existing light fixture from the ceiling junction box.
- Install the Mounting Bracket: Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling junction box using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly attached and can support the fan's weight.
- Assemble the Fan Unit: Attach the downrod (if applicable) to the fan motor assembly. Connect the necessary wires from the motor to the downrod wiring.
- Wire the Fan: Carefully connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the wiring diagram in the instruction manual. Typically, this involves connecting live, neutral, and ground wires. Ensure the remote control receiver unit is correctly wired and placed within the canopy. This step is crucial for proper remote functionality.
- Mount the Fan: Lift the fan assembly and hang it onto the mounting bracket. Secure the fan to the bracket using the designated screws.
- Attach the Canopy: Slide the canopy up to the ceiling, covering the wiring and mounting bracket. Secure the canopy in place with the provided screws.
- Install the Light Bulbs: Insert the E26 base light bulbs (not included) into the six sockets within the fan's cage.
- Attach the Metal Cage: Secure the metal cage lampshade to the fan unit.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

Operating Instructions
Your Ohniyou ceiling fan is operated using the included remote control. Ensure 2x AAA batteries (not included) are installed in the remote.
- Power On/Off: Press the 'ON/OFF' button to turn the fan and light on or off.
- Light Control: Use the 'LIGHT ON/OFF' button to control the light independently.
- Fan Speed: Select from 6 different fan speeds using the numbered buttons (1-6). Speed 1-2 provides a low, smooth wind suitable for sleeping, 3-4 offers a medium, natural wind for working, and 5-6 delivers a high-speed airflow for cooling during summer.
- Timing Function: Set a timer for the fan to automatically turn off after 1, 2, or 4 hours using the '1H', '2H', '4H' buttons.
- Reversible Motor: The fan features a reversible DC motor. Use the 'R' (Reverse) button to change the direction of the fan blades. In summer, the downdraft mode circulates air downward to create a cooling effect. In winter, the updraft mode enhances upward air circulation to distribute warm air evenly.
- Natural Wind Mode: Press the 'F' (Forward) button to activate the natural wind mode, which simulates a gentle, varying breeze.
