2. Mounting the Fan
- Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling outlet box using the provided screws.
- Secure the chosen downrod to the motor housing assembly.
- Carefully lift the fan assembly and hang it from the mounting bracket hook.
3. Wiring
- Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the wiring diagram in the manual. Ensure all connections are secure with wire nuts.
- Note: Some users have reported that the wiring for the 10-inch downrod can be barely long enough. Ensure connections are made carefully.
4. Attaching Blades and Light Kit
- Attach the five fan blades to the motor housing using the blade brackets and screws.
- Connect the LED light kit to the fan's wiring. Ensure the light connection cover is removed before plugging in.
- Secure the light kit to the fan assembly.
