Installation Types

Diagrams illustrate two mounting options: 'Downrod Installation' for normal ceilings and 'Sloped Ceiling Installation' which may require a longer downrod (sold separately). For sloped ceiling installation, refer to westinghouselighting.com for specially designed canopy kit options.

Blade Features

Diagrams show the two sides of a 'Combo-Blade'. The text explains that these blades feature two high-quality finishes, allowing selection based on decor or style change by simply flipping the blade. Note: Combo-Blade finishes vary by model.

Installation

Preparing for Installation

Step 1: Unpack and Inspect

Diagram shows a fan being unpacked and a fuse box. Text instructs to unpack and inspect the fan carefully to ensure all contents are included. Turn off power at the fuse box to avoid possible electrical shock.

Step 2: Secure Outlet Box

Diagram shows a ceiling joist with an outlet box securely fastened. Text emphasizes using a metal outlet box suitable for fan support (must support 35 lbs). Before attaching the fan, ensure the outlet box is securely fastened by at least two points to a structural ceiling member, as a loose box will cause the fan to wobble.

Mounting Bracket Installation

Step 3: Remove Canopy Screws

Diagram shows screws being removed from the canopy. Text describes loosening (but not removing) screws in mating slots (1) on the canopy and removing screws from mating holes (2). This allows the mounting bracket to be rotated and removed from the canopy.

Step 4: Install Mounting Bracket

Diagram shows a hand installing the mounting bracket to the outlet box using screws and washers. Text instructs to install the mounting bracket to the outlet box in the ceiling using the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.

Mounting Options

Step 5: Choose a Mounting Option

Diagrams illustrate 'Normal Downrod Option' for normal ceilings and 'Extended Downrod Option' for installations requiring a longer downrod. Text directs users to proceed to page 12, step 9 for the normal option, and page 9, step 6 for the extended option.

Downrod Preparation

Step 6: Remove Pins

Diagram shows a hand removing a clamp pin (1) and a cross pin (2) from the downrod (3).

Extended Downrod Option

Step 7: Loosen Ball and Remove Pin

Diagram shows loosening the downrod ball (1) from the downrod (2) by removing the screw (3). The downrod ball is then slid off the downrod, and pin (4) is removed.

Step 8: Re-install Pins and Secure Ball

Diagram shows re-installing the pin and sliding the downrod ball up to the top of the downrod. Text explains how to re-install the screw to secure the ball. It notes that some extended downrods have a pre-drilled set-screw hole; if present, tighten the set screw into this hole. If not, tighten the screw against the downrod. Users are directed to proceed to page 12, step 9.

Downrod Installation

Step 9: Insert Downrod and Secure

Chain Assembly

Step 17: Assemble Pull Chains

Diagram shows hands assembling decorative fob and extension chains to fan pull chains. Text instructs to insert the end of the chain into the chain coupling and confirm security by lightly pulling both chains.

Operation and Maintenance

Operation

Turn on the power and check operation of the fan. Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height, number of fans, and so on. The slide switch controls direction, forward or reverse.

Warm weather/down position - (Forward): Fan turns counterclockwise. A downward airflow creates a cooling effect (Illustration A). This allows setting air conditioner on a higher temperature without affecting comfort.

Cool weather/up position - (Reverse): Fan turns clockwise. An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area (Illustration B). This allows setting heating unit on a lower setting without affecting comfort.

NOTE: Turn off and wait for the fan to stop before changing the setting of the forward/reverse slide switch.

Maintenance

1. 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.
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage the motor, wood, or cause electrical shock.
3. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer coating to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
