Pairing Remote Control with Receiver:
If there are two or more ceiling fans installed in the same house, to prevent interference:
(Power-off means using a wall switch to shut down the fan's power. If no wall switch is available, power off the room's circuit breaker.)
After installing the remote control receiver on the ceiling fan:
- Turn on the power to the 1st ceiling fan receiver (ensure the 2nd receiver is powered off). Turn on the supply power within 5 seconds and press the REMOTE CONTROL "LEARN" button for 3 seconds. It will load normally after the fan light flashes twice, indicating successful learning and normal operation.
- Turn on the power to the 2nd ceiling fan receiver (ensure the 1st receiver is powered off). Turn on the supply power within 5 seconds and press the REMOTE CONTROL "LEARN" button for 3 seconds. It will load normally after the fan light flashes twice, indicating successful learning and normal operation.
FCC Statement

If the equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

After Installation
Wobble
The fan blades have been adjusted in the factory to minimize any wobble. Ceiling fans tend to move slightly during operation due to being mounted on a bracket. Excessive vibration would occur if mounted rigidly. Movement of a few centimeters is acceptable and does not indicate a problem.
To reduce fan wobble: Please check that all screws securing the mounting bracket and downrod are secure.
Balancing a wobbling ceiling fan:
- Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
- Most wobbling is caused by unequal blade levels. Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one blade. Measure the distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8" (0.32 cm).
- If wobble persists, interchange two adjacent blades (side by side) to redistribute weight and potentially improve smoothness.
Diagram Description: Illustrates measuring the distance from a ceiling point to a blade tip to check for wobble.
⚠️ WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arm while installing, balancing blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
Noise
When it is quiet, occasional small noises may be heard. This is normal. Please allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period; most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
Light is Not Working
- Check the bulb to ensure it is installed correctly.
- Remove the non-working bulb and replace it with a known working bulb.
To reset the remote control: Turn off power to the fan using the wall switch or circuit breaker. Remove batteries from the remote, wait 10 seconds, replace batteries, and turn power back on.
Care and Cleaning
- Periodic cleaning is the only maintenance required. Use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the paint finish. Ensure electricity power is off before cleaning.
- Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan, as it could damage the motor or blades and create an electrical shock hazard.
- The motor has permanently lubricated ball bearings and does not require oiling.
NOTE: MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY CLEANING OR REPAIRS.
