- Restore Power: Once all connections are secure and the fan is fully assembled, restore power at the circuit breaker.
4.3 Remote Control Pairing
The remote control may need to be paired with the fan after installation or if it loses connection. To pair:
- Ensure the fan and light are both turned OFF.
- Turn off the main power to the fan at the wall switch or circuit breaker.
- Restore power to the fan.
- Within 30 seconds of restoring power, press and hold the '6H' button on the remote control until the fan light blinks, indicating successful pairing.
5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Fan Operation
- Fan On/Off: Press the dedicated fan power button to turn the fan on or off.
