This warranty is valid only for the original purchaser. The manufacturer agrees to repair such defects free of charge or, at our discretion, replace the ceiling fan with a comparable or superior model.

The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the installation of the fan during the limited lifetime warranty. Any service performed by an unauthorized person will invalidate the warranty. Due to changing climatic conditions, this warranty does not cover changes in brass finish, rust, pitting, tarnishing, corrosion, or peeling. Brass finish fans maintain their beauty when protected from changing climatic conditions. The warranty does not cover glass elements included with this fan. Replacement of defective parts for the ceiling fan must be reported within the first year from the date of purchase. For the balance of the warranty, call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-643-0067 for return authorization and shipping instructions, so that we may repair or replace the ceiling fan. A fan or parts returned with incorrect packaging are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. There is no other type of express warranty. The manufacturer disclaims any and all implied warranties. The duration of any implied warranty that cannot be disclaimed is limited to the limited lifetime period specified in our warranty. The manufacturer shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, or special damages arising in connection with the use or operation of the product, except as otherwise provided by law. This warranty grants you specific legal rights, and you also have other rights that vary by state. This warranty supersedes any previous warranty. Note: It is normal for the fan to wobble slightly, which should not be considered a defect.

Installation

Initial Installation

  1. Determine mounting method: Downrod Mount (standard or angled ceiling) or Closemount (standard ceiling only).
  2. IMPORTANT: If angle mounting, check to ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 20°.
  3. Remove two non-slotted screws on canopy (B) and save. Loosen the two slotted screws but do not remove them. Remove mounting bracket (A) from canopy (B).
  4. Install mounting bracket (A) to outlet box (not included) by sliding mounting bracket (A) over the two outlet box screws (not included). Securely tighten two outlet box screws.
  5. IMPORTANT: If angle mounting, make sure the open end of mounting bracket (A) is installed facing the ceiling.
  6. Depending on the mounting method (A or B) chosen, proceed to "Downrod-Style Mounting" or "Closemount-Style Mounting."

Downrod-Style Mounting

  1. Remove preassembled pin and clip from downrod (E). Save for later use.
  2. Insert downrod (D) through canopy (B) and canopy cover (C). Thread wires from motor housing assembly (G) through downrod (D).
  3. Loosen preassembled set screws from the yoke on motor housing assembly (G). Slip downrod (D) into yoke, aligning holes on both parts. Insert previously removed pin through holes on yoke and downrod (D), then insert previously removed clip into the pin until it snaps into place. Tighten set screws.
  4. Hang fan on the top of downrod (E) into mounting bracket (A) opening. Rotate fan until the slot on hanger ball engages the tab on the mounting bracket (A).
  5. A ⚠️ WARNING: Be careful when aligning the tab to the slot. If not fully engaged, the fan could fall, which could result in serious injury or death.
  6. Proceed to the WIRING section.

Closemount-Style Mounting

  1. Remove canopy cover (C) from bottom of canopy (B).
  2. Place rubber gasket (HH) into the coupler on motor housing assembly (G). Pull wires through hole in canopy (B) and attach canopy (B) to coupler.

Wiring

  1. Connect the BLACK and BLUE wires from fan to BLACK wire from ceiling. Connect WHITE wire from the fan to WHITE wire from ceiling. Connect all GROUNDED (GREEN) wires together from fan to GREEN wire from ceiling.
  2. Note: Back wire is hot power for fan. Blue wire is hot power for light kit. White wire is common for fan and light kit. Green wire is grounded wire.
  3. If house wires are different colors than referred to above, stop immediately. We recommend a professional electrician determine proper wiring.
  4. Twist wire ends together and screw wire connectors (AA) on in a clockwise direction. Tape wire connectors (AA) and wires together.
  5. Note: Wires should be spread apart with grounded conductor and equipment-grounding conductor on one side of outlet box and ungrounded conductor on other side. After making connections, make sure bare wire or wire strands are NOT visible. Place green and white connections on opposite side of box from black and blue connections. Splices should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box.

Final Installation

If you chose "DOWNROD-STYLE MOUNTING," continue to Step 1. Proceed to Steps 2-3 if you chose "CLOSEMOUNT-STYLE MOUNTING."

  1. Align locking slots of canopy (B) with preassembled screws on the mounting bracket (A). Push up to engage the slots, then turn clockwise to lock in place. Securely tighten screws.
  2. Install two non-slotted screws previously removed (Step 2, page 6) to canopy (B) and tighten securely.
  3. Attach blade (F) to blade bracket (E) using three blade screws (FF). Securely tighten blade screws (FF). Repeat for remaining blades (F), blade brackets (E) and blade screws (FF).

  7. If you want to use the light kit (J), connect male plug from motor housing assembly (G) to the female plug from switch housing (I).
  8. A ⚠️ WARNING: To avoid possible fire or shock, power should be turned off prior to the removal of the light kit.
  9. Attach switch housing (I) to switch housing cover (H). Align switch housing (I) holes with switch housing cover (H) holes. Install the previously removed screws (Step 6, page 12) and tighten securely. Note: The wider gap in the edge of the switch housing cover (H) should align with reverse switch on the switch housing (H).
  10. Install bulbs (L) into sockets.
  11. Note: The fan has an energy-saving wattage limiter included. If candelabra-base bulbs are over 190 watts, light will automatically turn off. Please ensure bulb wattage is always below 190 watts.
  12. Remove preassembled rubber washer, hex nut, bowl cap (M), and finial (N) from light kit (J).
  13. Place glass bowl (K) on the preassembled pipe on switch housing (I) until it is flush against the metal disk. Thread fan pull chain through side hole on glass bowl (K).

  20. Insert plastic plug (DD) into center hole in switch housing (I).

Operation Instructions

  1. PULL CHAINS:
    • The fan pull chain is for motor speed control: High, Medium, Low and Off. Pull the chain once for each position.
    • The light pull chain controls the light fixture either ON or OFF with each pull of the chain.
  2. REVERSE SWITCH:

    When the season changes, you may want to change the direction the fan spins. To switch between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, flip the fan reversal switch.

    Note: Wait for fan to stop before reversing switch.

    • In warmer weather, counterclockwise rotation creates a downward air flow, which cools the air. Push the switch LEFT (→) and see a ☀️ icon.
    • In cooler weather, clockwise rotation creates an upward air flow, which moves hot air from the ceiling into the room. Push the switch RIGHT (←) and see a ❄️ icon.
