• Disconnect power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.
• Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure using appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of supporting a minimum of 15.9 kg (35 lbs). Use only cUL-listed outlet boxes marked "Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less." Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations show three different ways to mount the outlet box:

Illustration of outlet box mounting options

NOTE: A longer downrod may be needed to maintain proper blade clearance on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum allowable angle is 30° away from horizontal.

If the canopy touches the downrod, remove the decorative canopy bottom cover, turn the canopy 180°, and attach it to the mounting plate.

To hang the fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, an installation hanger bar may be needed (available at Home Depot).

5. Installing the receiver

WARNING: Disconnect power before wiring. 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 with any variable wall control. Incorrect wiring can damage the receiver.

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

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

• Position house supply wires (AAA) to one side of the slide-on mounting bracket (A); position fan wires (BBB) to the opposite side.
• Insert the narrow end of the receiver (H) (flat side towards the ceiling) into the slide-on mounting bracket until it rests on top of the ball/downrod assembly.

6. Wiring the receiver to the household wiring

IMPORTANT: Use supplied wire connecting nuts (AA). Secure connectors with electrical tape and ensure no loose strands or connections.

WARNING: Each supplied wire nut is designed for one 12-gauge house wire and two fan wires. If you have larger gauge house wiring or more than one house wire to connect, consult an electrician for proper wire nuts.

• Spread wires so green and white wires are on one side of the outlet box, and the black wire is on the other.
• Connect the green fan wires to the household ground wire (green or bare) using a wire connecting nut (AA).
• Connect the receiver (H) black or red wire to the household black (hot) wire using a wire connecting nut (AA).
• Connect the receiver (H) white wire to the household white (neutral) wire using a wire connecting nut (AA).
• Secure each wire connecting nut with electrical tape.

WARNING: Turn off electricity at the main fuse box before wiring. If unsure, contact a licensed electrician.

7. Wiring the fan to the receiver

Operating Your Fan and Remote Control

Remote Control

Your fan is equipped with a remote control for speed and light operation. Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on room size, ceiling height, and number of fans.

The fan is shipped with the reversing switch (YY) positioned for downward airflow. To reverse airflow:

1. Turn the fan off and wait for the blades to stop.
2. Slide the reversing switch (located on the top of the motor housing) to the opposite position.
3. Turn the fan on again. The blades will turn in the opposite direction, reversing airflow.

Warm weather - (Forward): Downward airflow creates a cooling effect, allowing for a higher air conditioner setting without affecting comfort.

Cool weather - (Reverse): Upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling, allowing for a lower heating unit setting without affecting comfort.

Operating Your Fan and Remote Control

• Power ON/OFF: Press and release the power button to turn the fan and light on or off.
• Fan speed: LEDs on the fan speed button illuminate to the corresponding speed.
• Press and release 1 time: high speed.
• Press and release 2 times: medium speed.
• Press and release 3 times: low speed.
• Press and release 4 times: fan off.
• Light ON/OFF: Press and release to turn the light on or off. Press and hold to activate the dimmer function.
• Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) changing:

NOTE: The default ceiling fan light temperature is 3000K (Soft White).

• Option 1: 2700K (Warm White)
• Option 2: 3000K (Soft White)
• Option 3: 5000K (Daylight)

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Ensure power is off before cleaning the fan.

• Due to the fan's natural movement, some connections may loosen. Check support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Ensure they are secure. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
• Clean the fan periodically to maintain its new appearance. Do not use water, as it may damage the motor or wood, or cause electric shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
• A light coat of furniture polish can be applied to wood for protection and beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
• The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings; no oiling is necessary.
• To remove a blade from the motor housing, squeeze the tabs of the locking clip towards each other and pull the fan blade away from the motor housing (refer to page 11).
