This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing your Progress Lighting AirPro ceiling fan. Refer to the included installation sheet for detailed diagrams.
Figure 4.1: Reference the official installation manual cover for detailed diagrams.
4.1 Mounting the Fan
- Turn off Power: Before starting, ensure the power supply to the outlet box is turned off at the circuit breaker.
- Secure Mounting Bracket: Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling outlet box. Ensure the outlet box is securely fastened to the building structure and can support the fan's weight.

- Hang Fan: Carefully lift the fan assembly and hang it from the mounting bracket using the ball joint in the downrod.
4.2 Electrical Wiring
Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to local electrical codes. Typically, this involves connecting the ground wire, neutral wire, and hot wires for fan and light operation.
- Connect the green/bare copper ground wire from the fan to the ground wire from the outlet box.
- Connect the white (neutral) wire from the fan to the white (neutral) wire from the outlet box.
- Connect the black (hot) wire from the fan to the black (hot) wire from the outlet box.
- If separate wires are available for fan and light control, connect them accordingly.

4.4 Installing the Light Kit

- Secure the light kit assembly to the bottom of the fan motor housing.
- Screw in the four included 8.5-Watt LED bulbs into the sockets.

5. Operation
Your AirPro ceiling fan is designed for ease of use with pull chain controls for both fan speed and light. An optional remote control accessory can be purchased separately for added convenience.
5.1 Fan Speed Control
The fan speed is controlled by pulling the fan pull chain. Each pull cycles through the available speeds:
- Pull 1: High Speed
- Pull 2: Medium Speed
- Pull 3: Low Speed
- Pull 4: Off
5.2 Light Control
The integrated light kit is controlled by pulling the light pull chain. Each pull will toggle the light On or Off.
5.3 Reversing Fan Direction (Seasonal Use)
Most ceiling fans include a reverse switch on the motor housing to change the direction of blade rotation. This allows for optimal air circulation in different seasons:
- Summer Operation: Blades rotate counter-clockwise, pushing air down to create a cooling breeze.
- Winter Operation: Blades rotate clockwise, drawing air up to circulate warm air near the ceiling.
To change direction, ensure the fan is off and completely stopped. Locate the reverse switch on the motor housing and slide it to the opposite position. Turn the fan back on.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Blade Cleaning: Wipe fan blades with a soft cloth to remove dust.
- Bulb Replacement: The fan uses 8.5-Watt LED bulbs. When replacement is needed, ensure the power is off and allow bulbs to cool before handling. Replace with compatible LED bulbs.
- Tighten Screws: Check all screws, especially on the blade attachments and mounting hardware, periodically to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can cause wobbling or noise.
