Setup and Installation
1. Choosing the Right Fan Size and Placement
Ceiling fans are effective for creating comfortable living areas. Consider the room size and ceiling height for optimal performance.
Image: A guide illustrating how to select the appropriate fan size (in inches) based on room size (in square feet).
Allow at least 7 feet (84 inches) from the floor to the bottom of the fan. For ceilings 8 or 9 feet high, this is the ideal above-floor placement.

2. Downrod Assembly
The fan can be installed on a flat or sloped ceiling using the appropriate downrod. The downrod assembly involves securing the hanger pin and locking pin.

3. Blade Installation
The fan features 5 reversible blades, with one side in smooth black and the other in rustic charcoal, allowing you to customize the aesthetic. The blade arms include captive screws for easier installation.

Operating Instructions
1. Airflow Direction
The fan offers reversible airflow for year-round comfort. The direction can be changed using a switch on the fan motor housing (refer to your installation sheet for exact location) or via an accessory remote control (sold separately).
Image: Diagrams illustrating counter-clockwise (forward) airflow for cooling and clockwise (reverse) airflow for warming.
- Counter-Clockwise / Forward: This direction is used during warmer months. It creates a downward draft, making the room feel cooler.
- Clockwise / Reverse: This direction is used during cooler months. It pushes warm air towards the ceiling, circulating it along the walls and into the room, making the room feel warmer without a direct breeze.
2. Pull Chain Operation
The fan is equipped with a pull chain for basic speed control. Pull the chain to cycle through fan speeds (e.g., High, Medium, Low, Off).

3. Remote Control (Accessory)
This fan accepts an accessory wall and remote control (sold separately) for convenient operation. Refer to the remote control's specific instructions for pairing and usage.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Tightening Screws: Check all screws, especially those on the blade arms, at least twice a year. Ensure they are securely tightened to prevent wobbling and noise.
- Lubrication: The fan's AC motor is permanently lubricated and does not require additional oiling.
