MOUNTING OPTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked "Acceptable for fan support of 35 lb (15.9 kg) or less" and use the screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL Listed mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:

• Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
• Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lb). Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 20° away from horizontal.

If the canopy (B) touches the ball/downrod assembly (D), then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (C) and turn the canopy (B) 180° before attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting plate.

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above (available at any Home Depot store).

Assembly - Standard Ceiling Mount

1 Preparation for standard mounting

• Remove the canopy bottom cover (C) from the canopy (B) by turning the bottom cover counterclockwise until it unlocks.
• Loosen the two canopy screws (PP) located in the bottom of the mounting bracket (A), and turn the canopy counterclockwise to remove the mounting bracket (A) from the canopy (B).

2 Routing the wires

• Route the wires exiting the top of the fan motor assembly (E) through the center of the canopy bottom cover (C).
• Make sure the opening of the canopy (B) is on top and insert the ball/downrod (D) through the canopy (B).
• Route the wires exiting the top of the fan motor assembly (E) through the downrod as shown.

3 Assembling the fan

WARNING: Failure to properly install the locking pin could result in the fan becoming loose and possibly falling.

• Loosen, but do not remove, the two setscrews (ZZ) on the collar on top of the fan motor assembly (E).
• Align the holes at the bottom of the downrod (D) with the holes in the collar on top of the fan motor assembly (E).

3 Making the electrical connection

IMPORTANT: Use the plastic wire connectors (AA) supplied with your fan. Secure the connectors with electrical tape and ensure there are no loose strands or connections.

NOTE: The fan comes with 54 in. lead wires for use with an extended ball/ downrod assembly. If using the 4.5 in. ball/ downrod assembly (D) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your desired length (no shorter than 12 in.). This will make extra room in the canopy (B). If you do not wish to cut the wires, you will need to neatly wrap them.

• Connect the fan motor white wires to the household white wire using a wire connecting nut (AA).
• Connect the fan motor black and blue wires to the household black wire using a wire connecting nut (AA).
• Secure each wire connecting nut (AA) using electrical tape.
• Turn the wire connecting nut (AA) upward and push the wiring into the outlet box (MM).

4 Wrapping the extra wire

NOTE: Follow this step ONLY if you did not cut the extra length off from the wires coming from the ceiling fan.

• Gently wrap the excess wire around the mounting bracket.
• Secure with electrical tape.

Assembly - Attaching the Light Kit (continued)

3 Installing the glass shade

WARNING: Do not overtighten when installing the glass shade into the light kit. Allow the glass shade to cool completely before removing.

• With the power off, install the two LED bulbs (H) by screwing them into the light bulb sockets.
• Place the glass shade (I) into the light kit assembly, aligning the three flat areas on the top flange of the glass shade (I) with the three raised dimples in the light kit assembly. Turn the glass shade (I) clockwise until it stops.
• Attach the pull chain extensions (GG) to the light pull chain and the fan pull chain.

Operating Your Fan

Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan. The pull chain controls the fan speeds as follows:

1 pull - High, 2 pulls - Medium, 3 pulls - Low, 4 pulls - Off

The appropriate speed settings for warm or cool weather depends on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and number of fans.

The slide switch (XX) controls the direction of the blades: forward (switch left) or reverse (switch right).

NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction of the blade rotation.

Warm weather - (Forward): A downward airflow creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather - (Reverse): An upward airflow moves warm air off of the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.

• Because of the fan's natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
• Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
• You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
• You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
