Safety Information

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate, or install the product.

Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.

Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.

Make sure the installation site you choose allows 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: 15.98 lbs. (7.25 kg).

DANGER:

When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after installation is complete.

WARNING:

To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.

Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from the fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT" and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. 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.).

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge and/or there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.

CAUTION:

Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.

Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.

Carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on the fan motor assembly to ensure they are secured.

Initial Installation

1. Turn off the circuit breakers and the wall switch to the fan supply line leads.

   DANGER: Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.

   Diagram shows a hand turning off a circuit breaker.

2. Determine the mounting method to use:

   • Standard Mounting: Best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings, you may want to use a longer downrod (not included).
   • Angle Mounting: Best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance. Important: If using the angle mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 16°.

   Flushmount installation is not available for this item. Closemount installation is not available for this item.

   Diagrams illustrate Standard Mounting and Angle Mounting options for ceiling fans, alongside depictions of Flushmount and Closemount which are noted as unavailable.

3. Ensure the blades (S) will be at least 30 in. from any obstructions. Also check the downrod (A) length to ensure the blades (S) will be at least 7 ft. above the floor.

   Diagram shows clearance requirements: 30 inches horizontally from blades to obstructions, and 7 feet vertically from blades to floor.

4. Loosen all four preassembled mounting bracket screws (T), then completely remove the two mounting bracket screws (T) from the round holes of canopy (E). Set aside for later use. Turn the canopy in a counterclockwise direction. Detach mounting bracket (D) from canopy (E).

   Diagram shows loosening and removing screws from the canopy and detaching the mounting bracket.

5. Attach mounting bracket (D) to outlet box (not included) using screws and washers provided with the outlet box.

   CAUTION: It is very important to use the proper hardware when installing the mounting bracket (D) as this will support the fan.

   Diagrams show attaching the mounting bracket to the outlet box for both Standard and Angle mounting.

6. Remove the 10 preassembled motor screws (J) from the underside of the motor assembly (H). Save motor screws (J) for blade arm (R) attachment.

   Diagram shows the underside of the motor assembly with screws being removed.

Standard or Angle Mounting Instructions

1. Remove the downrod clip (C) and downrod pin (B) from the downrod (A). Then partially loosen the set screws (I) in the yoke at the top of the motor assembly (H).

   Diagram shows removing the downrod clip and pin, and loosening set screws on the motor yoke.

2. Insert the downrod (A) -- or a longer downrod, if required -- through the canopy (E) and yoke cover (G). Feed the wires from the motor assembly (H) through the downrod (A).

   Diagram shows the downrod passing through the canopy and yoke cover, with wires fed through.

3. Slide the downrod (A) into the yoke of the motor assembly (H), align the holes, then re-install the downrod pin (B) and downrod clip (C). Secure with set screws (I) and slide the yoke cover (G) down until it rests on top of the motor assembly (H).

   Diagram illustrates sliding the downrod into the yoke, securing it with the pin and clip, and placing the yoke cover.

4. Depending on the length of downrod you use, you may need to cut the lead wires back to simplify the wiring. If you decide to cut back the lead wires, it is suggested you do so in the following manner: Take the lead wires and make sure you have pulled them all the way through the top of the downrod. Measure 8 inches of lead wire, then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters (not included).

   Diagram shows measuring and cutting excess lead wire from the downrod.

5. If you decided to cut back the lead wire in Step 4, strip 1/2 in. of insulation from the end of the white wire. Twist the stripped ends of each strand of wire within the insulation with pliers (not included). Repeat the step for black and blue wires. (Note: If you did not cut back the lead wires in Step 4, Step 5 is not necessary and you may proceed to Step 6 instead).

   Diagram shows stripping insulation from wires and twisting strands.

6. Install the ball end of the downrod (A) into the opening of the mounting bracket (D). Align a slot in the ball with the tab in the mounting bracket (D).

   Important: The downrod (A) should not rotate in the mounting bracket (D) if installed properly.

   DANGER: Failure to align a slot in the ball with the tab may cause the fan to wobble or fall, which could result in serious injury or death.

   Diagram shows aligning the slot on the downrod ball with the tab on the mounting bracket.

Wiring

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge and there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.

1. Connect the fan wires and the household supply wires according to the diagram and these steps:

   • Connect the Green wire from downrod (A) and mounting bracket (D) to the Bare/Green supply wire.
   • Connect the White wire from the fan to the White supply wire.
   • Connect the Blue and Black wires from the fan to the Black supply wire.
   • Secure all wiring connections together with wire connectors (AA).

   Note: If there is a second hot/power wire coming from the outlet box, connect it to the blue (light power) fan wire for separate light and fan control.

   Note: The Black wire is hot power for the fan. The White wire is common for the fan and light kit. The Blue wire is hot power for light. The Green wire is the ground wire. If household supply wires are different colors than referred to above, it is recommended a professional electrician determines the proper wiring.

   Hardware Used: AA Wire Connector (x3)

   Diagram shows wiring connections: Green to Ground, White to White, Blue/Black to Black. Includes a warning: "Do NOT use this fan with any solid-state speed control device."

   Diagram shows pull chains and the reverse switch.

   Assembly is complete. Turn on the circuit breakers and the wall switch to the fan supply line leads.

Operating Instructions

1. The fan pull chain has four positions to control the fan speed. One pull is high, two is medium, three is low, and four turns the fan off. The light pull chain turns the light on and off.

   Diagram shows the fan and light pull chains.

2. Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort.

   In warmer weather, push the reverse switch left to display a sun icon ☀️, which will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect.

   In cooler weather, push the reverse switch right to display a snowflake icon ❄️, which will result in upward airflow that can help move hot air off the ceiling area.

   Important: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either completely left or right for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate.

   Diagrams illustrate the reverse switch positions and their corresponding icons (sun for warm, snowflake for cool) and the middle position which stops operation.

Care and Maintenance

At least twice each year, lower the canopy to check the downrod assembly, and then tighten all screws on the fan. Clean the motor housing with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Clean the blades with a lint-free cloth.

Total fixture wattage is 16 watts; do not attempt to replace LED.

Important: Shut off the main power supply before you begin any maintenance tasks. Do not use water or a damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
