- Canopy Installation: Slide the canopy up to the ceiling and secure it to cover the wiring connections and mounting bracket.
- Sloped Ceiling Installation: This fan is suitable for installation on sloped ceilings up to 23 degrees. Ensure the mounting bracket and downrod are compatible with the angle.

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your ceiling fan.
- Before Cleaning: Always turn off the power to the fan at the main circuit breaker before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning Blades and Housing: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the fan blades and motor housing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Dust Removal: Periodically use a duster or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust from the fan blades and motor housing.
- Tighten Fasteners: Check all screws and fasteners periodically to ensure they are tight. Over time, vibrations can cause them to loosen.
