Safety Information
CAUTION: Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.
- Before beginning installation, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.
- Ensure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Consult a qualified electrician if unfamiliar with wiring.
- Ensure a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.
- The net weight of this fan is: 21.78 lbs.
DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, ensure it is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential for minimizing wobble and noise.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, gloves may be necessary when handling fan parts with sharp edges.
WARNING: Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch.
WARNING: If using the fan in a wet location, it must be connected to a supply circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
WARNING: Mount the fan to an outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use the provided mounting screws. Most boxes for lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need replacement. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do NOT use a plastic outlet box.
WARNING: Wire connectors provided are designed for one 12-gauge house wire and two fan lead wires. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or has multiple wires, consult an electrician for proper connectors.
WARNING: Do not bend blade arms when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between rotating blades.
WARNING: Use only parts provided with this fan. Using other parts will void the warranty.
