Setup and Installation
This section outlines the steps for installing your ceiling fan. It is recommended to have two people for installation.
1. Prepare the Installation Site
- Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
- Ensure the existing electrical box is securely mounted and rated for ceiling fan support.
2. Mount the Fan
- Attach the mounting bracket to the electrical box using the provided screws.
- Due to its hugger design, the fan motor housing mounts directly to the ceiling, providing a low-profile appearance.

- Secure all connections with wire nuts.
4. Attach Fan Blades

5. Install Light Kit

Operating Instructions
Your Mainstay ceiling fan is designed for ease of use with traditional pull chain controls.
Fan Speed Control
One pull chain controls the fan speed. Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through the following settings:
- High Speed
- Medium Speed
- Low Speed
- Off
Light Control
The second pull chain controls the integrated LED light. Pull the chain to turn the light On or Off.
Reverse Airflow Function
The fan features a reversible motor for year-round comfort. A slide switch on the fan motor housing allows you to change the direction of the fan blades.
- Summer Mode (Counter-clockwise rotation): Pushes air down, creating a cooling breeze.
- Winter Mode (Clockwise rotation): Draws air up, circulating warm air trapped near the ceiling.
Note: Always turn off the fan and allow the blades to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of airflow.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and performance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: To avoid scratching the finish, clean the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Blade Cleaning: Dust the blades regularly to maintain optimal airflow and prevent wobbling.
- Tightening Screws: Periodically check all screws, especially those on the blade attachments and mounting bracket, to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can cause wobbling or noise.
- Light Bulb Replacement: If the LED light ever needs replacement, ensure the power is off before attempting to replace it. Refer to the full product manual for specific LED module replacement instructions.
