Safety Information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, always turn off the power at the main circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation or performing any maintenance. Ensure the power is disconnected and secured to prevent accidental activation.
- All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, consult a qualified electrician.
- The fan must be mounted to a structurally sound ceiling joist or a fan-rated outlet box capable of supporting the fan's weight (approximately 11.84 pounds). Do not use drywall anchors alone for mounting.
- Ensure the installation site allows for a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the floor to the fan blades and 30 inches from the wall to the blade tips.
- Do not bend the blade holders during installation, balancing, or cleaning.
- Do not insert objects into the path of the fan blades while the fan is operating.
- This fan is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, but should not be directly exposed to rain.

- Prepare for Installation: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Ensure the ceiling outlet box is securely mounted and rated for fan support.
- Install Mounting Bracket: Secure the mounting bracket to the ceiling outlet box using appropriate fan-rated screws. If the provided hardware does not align with your electrical gang box or is insufficient, obtain suitable hardware for a secure installation.
- Assemble Fan Blades: Attach the fan blades to the motor assembly. The blades are reversible, offering a white or walnut finish. Choose the desired side before attachment.
- Wiring: Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the wiring diagram in the detailed instruction manual. Ensure all connections are secure with wire nuts.
- Mount Fan Body: Carefully lift the fan assembly and attach it to the mounting bracket. This fan is designed for flush mount installation, which is suitable for rooms with lower ceilings.
- Install Light Kit: Connect the light kit wiring to the fan motor assembly and secure the light kit in place.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: To clean the fan, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or electrical components. Ensure power is off before cleaning.
- Blade Care: The fan blades are reversible. If you wish to change the blade color, carefully remove and reattach them with the desired side facing down.
- Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and fasteners for tightness. Due to natural movement of the fan, some connections may become loose over time.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your fan, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fan does not start | No power; Loose wire connections; Remote control battery low or not paired. | Check circuit breaker/fuses. Ensure all wiring connections are secure. Replace remote battery or re-pair remote according to instructions. |
| Fan wobbles excessively | Loose blades; Unbalanced blades; Improper mounting. | Ensure all blade screws are tight. Use the included balancing kit to correct blade imbalance. Verify the mounting bracket is securely fastened to a fan-rated support. |
| Light does not work or flickers | Loose light kit wiring; Faulty LED driver. | Check light kit wiring connections. If issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Light color temperature resets to cool white after power cycle | This model may not retain the last light color setting after a power interruption. | Adjust the light color temperature manually using the remote control after each power cycle. |
| Difficulty adjusting light brightness/color | Remote button press technique. | For continuous adjustment, press and hold the brightness/color temperature buttons. Rapidly pressing may result in small, incremental changes. |
| Canopy holes do not align with motor | Manufacturing variation or design change. | If the canopy does not align as shown in the diagram, carefully examine the motor assembly for alternative mounting points or contact customer support for guidance. Do not force components. |
