Safety Information

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

  1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure the electricity has been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before you begin.
  2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
  3. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting 35 lbs. (15.9 kg). Use only UL Listed outlet boxes marked "Acceptable for Fan Support of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg) or less".
  4. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft (2.1 m) clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
  5. Do not operate the reversing switch while the fan blades are in motion. You must turn the fan off and stop the blades before you reverse the blade direction.
  6. Do not place objects in the path of the blades.
  7. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, use caution when working around or cleaning the fan.
  8. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL-listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL General Use Switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.
  9. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box.
  10. All setscrews must be checked and retightened where necessary before installation.

Warnings and Cautions:

Warranty

The supplier warrants the fan motor to be free from defects in workmanship and material for a lifetime after the date of purchase by the original purchaser. All other fan parts (excluding glass or acrylic blades) are warranted for two years after the date of purchase. To obtain warranty service, present a copy of the receipt. Costs of removing and reinstalling the product are your responsibility. Damage from accident, misuse, improper installation, or accessories is not covered.

Installation

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 lbs. (15.9kg) 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:

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

Diagram 1: Shows a hanger bar attached to an outlet box.

Diagram 2: Shows an outlet box mounted directly to ceiling joists.

Diagram 3: Shows a recessed outlet box with a ceiling mounting plate providing strong support.

? NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from horizontal.

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

3 Setting the code on the remote control and receiver

? NOTE: The frequencies on your receiver and hand unit have been preset at the factory. Before installing the receiver, make sure the dip switches on the receiver and hand unit are set to the same frequency. The dip switches on the hand unit are located inside the battery compartment.

? NOTE: The switch marked "O/D" controls the dimming function of the lights. If using non-dimmable bulbs, use a ballpoint pen or small screwdriver to set the switch to "O" to disable the dimming function. If using dimmable bulbs, set the switch to "D" to enable the dimming function.

? NOTE: The battery will weaken with age and should be replaced before leaking takes place as this will damage the hand unit. Dispose of used battery properly and keep the battery out of the reach of children.

4 Installing the receiver

⚠️ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, remember to disconnect power. The electrical wiring must meet all local and national electrical code requirements. The electrical source and fan must be 110/120 volt, 60Hz. Do not use this product in conjunction with any variable wall control. Incorrect wire connection can damage this receiver.

CAUTION: If other fan wires are a different color, have this unit installed by a licensed electrician.

CAUTION: Do not install the receiver in a damp location or immerse in water (For indoor use only). Do not pull on or cut the receiver leads shorter. Do not drop or bump the unit.

5 Wiring the receiver to the household wiring

⚠️ WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, turn the electricity off at the main fuse box before wiring. If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, contact a licensed electrician.

⚠️ WARNING: Each wire nut supplied with this fan is designed to accept up to one 12-gauge house wire and two wires from the fan. If you have larger than 12-gauge house wiring or more than one house wire to connect to the fan wiring, consult an electrician for the proper size wire nuts to use.

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

Diagram showing wiring connections: Green fan wire to household ground wire, Red receiver wire to household black wire, White receiver wire to household white wire. Outlet box and receiver (J) are shown.

6 Wiring the fan to the receiver

? IMPORTANT: If after this step, you decide to check that the electrical connections have been successful, it is critical to attach the light kit using the quick connector prior to testing. The fan will not operate unless the light kit is connected to the fan.

? IMPORTANT: Use the wire connecting nuts (BB) 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 6 in. ball/downrod assembly (B) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your desired length (no shorter than 13.5 in.). This will make extra room in the canopy (C), if you do not wish to cut the wires, you will need to neatly wrap them.

Care and Cleaning

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

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
The fan will not start.
  • Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
  • Check to make sure the wall switch is in the on position if applicable.
  • Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
  • Check the battery in the transmitter.
  • Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 feet.
  • Ensure the dip switch settings are the same on the transmitter and receiver.
  • Remember to turn off the power supply before checking the dip switches settings.
The fan is noisy.
  • Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.
  • Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
  • Ensure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
  • Allow a 24-hour "breaking in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
  • If you are using the ceiling fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulbs are also secure.
The fan wobbles.
  • Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
  • Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box.
  • Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
  • Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure from a point on the center of each blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8”. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to wobble please contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.
