⚠️ WARNING

• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount the fan directly from the building structure or an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 70 lbs (31.8 kg), using the provided mounting screws.
• To avoid possible electrical shock, disconnect power at the circuit breaker and wall switch before installing or servicing. If breakers cannot be locked off, use a prominent warning device on the service panel.
• This fan must be installed with an isolating wall control/switch to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend blade brackets during installation, balancing, or cleaning. Do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
• Chemical burn hazard: Keep batteries away from children. The remote contains a lithium button cell battery. Swallowing or internalizing a lithium battery can cause severe burns and death within 2 hours. Secure the battery compartment. If it does not close securely, stop using the product, remove batteries, and keep away from children. Seek immediate medical attention if batteries are suspected to be swallowed or ingested. Dispose of cells properly.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. Exhausted batteries must be removed from the product.

Choosing the Right Installation Location

Ensure your chosen location is suitable for the fan.

Check the room dimensions:

• Clearance: 30 inches from blade tip to the nearest wall or obstruction.
• Height: 7 feet from the bottom edge of the blade to the floor.

Check the outlet box:

You must be able to secure the fan to building structure or a fan-rated outlet box.

Checking the Ceiling Angle:

Standard Mounting:

For flat ceilings, use a standard downrod. Some fans include a shorter downrod for low-profile installation.

Angled Mounting:

For angled or vaulted ceilings:

1. You will need a longer downrod (sold separately at HunterFan.com).
2. If your ceiling angle is greater than 34°, you will also need an Angled Mounting Kit (sold separately at HunterFan.com).

A little more information on Angled Mounting:

For optimal performance and appearance, use a longer downrod with your Hunter ceiling fan on high or angled ceilings. If your ceiling angle exceeds 34°, an Angled Mounting Kit is required. Both longer downrods and the Angled Mounting Kit are sold separately at HunterFan.com.

Hunter Pro Tip: To determine if you need an Angled Mounting Kit, fold the guide provided, place it against the wall and slide towards the ceiling. If the guide touches the wall but not the ceiling, an angled mounting kit is needed.

Installing the Ceiling Bracket

Choose the installation option best suited for your location. Remove any existing bracket before installation. Use only the provided Hunter ceiling bracket.

Do this first!

Turn Power OFF

⚠️ WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, disconnect power at the circuit breaker and wall switch before installing.

Option 1: Machine Screws

Use machine screws (provided with outlet box) and washers to secure the bracket to an existing ceiling fan-rated outlet box. Ensure it is securely installed and rated for fan support of 31.8 kg (70 lbs) or less.

Option 2: Wood Screws

Use wood screws and washers (included) to secure the bracket to a support structure with an approved electrical outlet box. Drill 9/64" pilot holes in the support structure to aid in securing the bracket with hardware from the hardware bag.

ANGLED MOUNTING TIP: For angled ceilings, point the bracket opening toward the peak.

Hunter Pro Tip: The machine screws are typically those that came with your outlet box.

Installing the Downrod

Follow these steps if using the pre-assembled downrod. For longer or shorter downrods, refer to the guide at the end of this manual.

1. Back out the pre-installed setscrew so its threads are engaged but the shank does not protrude and obstruct downrod insertion.
2. Pass all wires to one side of the horizontal bar in the downrod assembly.
3. Hand-tighten the downrod until it stops (at least 4-5 complete revolutions).
4. Tighten the setscrew with pliers. DO NOT HAND TIGHTEN.
5. Trim wires coming from the fan so that 8 inches remain from the top of the downrod.

⚠️ WARNING: FAN FALL HAZARD

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• ALWAYS tighten the setscrew with pliers.
• DO NOT hand tighten the setscrew.
• CHECK the setscrew is tight using pliers each time you change fan direction.

Hunter Pro Tip: The ground wire attached to the downrod is approximately 8 inches.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Hanging the Fan

Slide the canopy over the downrod and wires.

Place the downrod ball into the slot in the ceiling bracket.

Progress Check: Your fan should now look like the illustration.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to the fan, ALWAYS lift by holding either the fan housing or the downrod.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Wiring the Fan

Follow these steps for quick and safe wiring. Choose the route matching your wall switch setup. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, contact a qualified electrician.

You are going to need these: 4 Wire Nuts (in the bag)

Have a single switch?

1. Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.
2. Connect the black (ungrounded) wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan.
3. Cap the blue wire from the fan (not needed for single switch wiring).
4. Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling, downrod, and hanging bracket.

⚠️ WARNING: The ceiling fan must be grounded. If the ground wire is not present, STOP installation and consult a qualified electrician.

⚠️ WARNING: All wiring must comply with national and local electrical codes (ANSI/NFPA 70). Consult a qualified electrician if unfamiliar or in doubt.

Hunter Pro Tip (Wire Nuts): Push bare wire ends together, slide wire nut over them, and twist clockwise until tight. Gently pull to ensure wires are secure.

Hunter Pro Tip (Extra Wiring): Turn wires upward and push them carefully back through the hanger bracket into the outlet box. Spread wires apart, with grounded wires on one side and ungrounded wires on the other. Ensure wires remain attached to wire nuts.

Have dual switches?

1. Connect the white (grounded) wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.
2. Connect the black (ungrounded) wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan.
3. Connect the second ungrounded (light) wire from the ceiling to the blue wire from the fan.
4. Connect the three grounding wires (green, green/yellow stripe, or bare copper) coming from the ceiling, downrod, and hanging bracket.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Installing the Canopy

Fit the canopy into place as shown. Lift the canopy into place so the screw holes align. Insert the two canopy screws found in the hardware bag.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Installing the Blades

Put the blade washers from the hardware bag onto the blade screws from the hardware bag. Then, install the blade screws to secure each blade to the fan. Repeat for all 5 blades.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: Follow the instructions on the blade. Incorrect installation may result in the fan not functioning.

Assembling the Light Kit

1. Loosen the two pre-installed screws.
2. Feed the wire plugs through the center hole of the upper switch housing, wrap keyhole slots around the screws, and twist counterclockwise.
3. After rotating the upper switch housing into place, tighten all three screws securely.
4. Connect the single-pin connectors from the light kit assembly to the fan connectors. Connect the white wires together. Connect the blue and black wires together.
5. Carefully push all switch housing components into the switch housing, then install the switch housing plate using the two pre-installed light kit screws.

⚠️ WARNING: FAN FALL HAZARD

Make sure all three screws are tight to secure the trim ring to the mounting plate.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Installing the Bulbs and Glass

1. Install the included LED bulbs into the sockets. Replace with bulbs of the same wattage if necessary.
2. Lift the glass and align the notches in the glass with the tabs in the light kit.
3. Attach the glass by lifting and turning clockwise one-third of a full turn until it stops. NOTE: Check to ensure proper engagement.

Turn Power ON

⚠️ WARNING: GLASS FALL HAZARD

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, make sure the glass is properly secured.

Note: Fan style may vary.

Reversing the Fan

Ceiling fans operate in two directions: downdraft (counterclockwise rotation) and updraft (clockwise rotation). To change the direction of airflow, turn the fan off, let it stop completely, use the remote control to change direction, and then restart the fan.

• Updraft (clockwise rotation): Creates indirect airflow, useful for moving warm air downward.
• Downdraft (counterclockwise rotation): Creates a direct breeze and maximum cooling effect.

Note: Fan style may vary.
