Warnings and Cautions

⚠️ WARNING

• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan directly from building structure and/or an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 70 lbs (31.8 kg) and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
• To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing or servicing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the blade brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
• Chemical burn hazard. Keep batteries away from children. This remote contains a lithium button cell battery. If a new or used lithium button/coin cell battery is swallowed or enters the body, it can cause severe internal burns and can lead to death in as little as 2 hours. Always completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep it away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention. Dispose of cells properly and keep away from children. Even used cells may cause injury.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the product.

Choosing the Right Installation Location

You probably bought this fan with a location in mind. Let's check below to make sure it is a good fit.

Check the room dimensions:

• 30 inches from blade tip to nearest wall or obstruction
• 7 feet from bottom edge of blade to the floor

Check the outlet box:

You must be able to secure the fan to building structure or fan-rated outlet box.

Installing the Ceiling Bracket

You have two options for installation. Pick which one works best for your location.

Do this first!

⚠️ WARNING

To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box associated with the wall switch location.

Make sure all four bumpers are still attached.

Option 1: Machine Screws

Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) when securing to existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. Make sure it is securely installed and is acceptable for fan support of 31.8 kg (70 lbs) or less.

Option 2: Wood Screws

Use wood screws (included) when securing to support structure with approved electrical outlet box. Drill 9/64" pilot holes in support structure to aid in securing ceiling bracket with hardware found in the hardware bag.

Hardware shown: Washer (x2), Wood Screw (x2)

Hanging the Fan

STEP 1

While holding the wires out of the way, lift the motor assembly and place the square hanger into the opening in the ceiling bracket. Be sure the ground wire attached to the hanger faces out of the large opening in the ceiling bracket.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to fan, ALWAYS lift holding either the fan housing or the downrod.

STEP 2

Once the motor is in the ceiling bracket, use the two locking screws found in the hardware bag to secure the motor to the ceiling bracket.

Hardware shown: Locking Screw (x2)

Wiring the Fan

We know wiring is hard. Let's make it easier. Follow these steps to get your fan wired quickly and safely. Follow the route below that best matches your wall switch setup. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or uncomfortable doing it yourself, please contact a qualified electrician.

Have a single switch?

⚠️ WARNING

The ceiling fan must be grounded. If the ground wire for the installation site is not present, immediately STOP installation and consult a qualified electrician.

• Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling and hanging bracket.
• Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.
• Connect the black wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan.
• Cap the blue wire from the fan. It will not be used for single switch wiring.

Hardware shown: Wire Nut (x4)

Have dual switches?

⚠️ WARNING

All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring or in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

• Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling and hanging bracket.
• Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.
• Connect the second ungrounded (light) wire from the ceiling to the blue wire from the fan.
• Connect the black wire (ungrounded) from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan.

Installing the Motor Housing

STEP 1

Raise the motor housing up over the motor and ceiling bracket. Turn the motor housing so the screw holes align and the indentation in the housing locks into place with the notch in the ceiling bracket. The motor housing is not secured until the next step is complete. Do not leave unattended.

STEP 2

With a Phillips head screwdriver, install the four motor housing screws found in the hardware bag. Tighten all four screws securely.

Installing the Blades

Insert grommets found in the hardware bag into the holes in the blades, then secure each blade to a blade iron with screws found in the hardware bag.

Hardware shown: Grommet (x15), Blade Screw (x15)

Lightly attach the blade irons to the motor with screws found in the hardware bag, then securely tighten after both screws are attached.

Hardware shown: Blade Arm (x5), Blade Arm Screw (x10)

Repeat for all 5 blades.

Assembling the Light

Remove the cardboard plug guard before proceeding!

Connect the plugs from the fan and light fixture. Make sure to line up the colored markings on the connectors.

Push the connector and excess wire into the hole at the top of the light fixture.

IMPORTANT: The connector and excess wiring must be pushed into the light fixture in order to successfully mount the light fixture to the fan.

Raise the light kit to the bottom of the fan. Align the notch on the mounting ring on the top of the light kit with the pin in the mounting bracket on the bottom of the fan.

Hold the fan body stationary and rotate the light fixture clockwise to engage the locking pin.

Installing the Bulb and Glass

Lift the glass and attach it to the light fixture using the three thumbscrews. Tighten all three screws securely by hand.

Install the included bulb into the socket. When necessary, replace with bulb of same wattage.

⚠️ WARNING

GLASS FALL HAZARD: To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, make sure that glass is properly secured.

Turn Power ON

Preparing the Remote

The remote control is already paired for use. For your convenience, a remote function card is packed in with your remote.

To access the battery compartment, remove the small Phillips head screw that secures the battery door to the transmitter assembly. The battery should be installed with the positive (+) side up. Replace with a CR2032 battery when necessary.

Installing the Remote Control Cradle

You have two options for installing the remote cradle. Choose which path works best for you.

Option 1: Using Adhesive Strip

• Remove the cradle from the cradle bracket.
• Separate the lining from the back of the adhesive strip on the cradle bracket.
• Press the cradle bracket against the wall and hold firmly for 30 seconds.

Option 2: Using Screws

• Choose your cradle installation location.
• If you are installing into drywall, drill two 9/64" width holes using the cradle bracket as a guide. Gently hammer the included drywall anchors into the pre-drilled holes.
• Slide the cradle onto the mounted bracket.

Troubleshooting

Fan Doesn't Work

• Make sure power switch is on.
• Check the circuit breaker to ensure the power is turned on.
• Make sure the blades spin freely.
