3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your ceiling fan. It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform the electrical wiring.
3.1 Choosing a Mounting Location
This 72-inch ceiling fan is designed for large rooms up to 20ft x 20ft, suitable for living rooms, great rooms, covered patios, and porches. Ensure the location provides at least 7 feet of clearance from the floor to the fan blades and 18 inches from the blades to any walls or obstructions.
3.2 Downrod Selection and Installation
The fan includes three downrod options: 6-inch, 12-inch, and 20-inch. Select the appropriate downrod based on your ceiling height. The 6-inch downrod is suitable for ceilings up to 8 feet, while the 20-inch downrod is ideal for 10-foot ceilings or to enhance air circulation in higher rooms. The fan can also be angle-mounted on sloped ceilings up to a maximum of 15 degrees.

Activate the reversible mode using the dedicated button on the remote control.
