Installation

MOUNTING OPTIONS

⚠ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to an outlet box marked "Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg) or less," and use the screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:

• Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
• Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.

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

• Method 1: A standard outlet box is shown mounted to a ceiling joist using screws.
• Method 2: An outlet box is shown mounted between two ceiling joists using a hanger bar.
• Method 3: A recessed outlet box is shown with strong support, mounted to a ceiling mounting plate.

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from horizontal.

If the canopy (C) touches the ball/downrod assembly (B), then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover and turn the canopy (C) 180° before attaching the canopy (C) to the mounting plate.

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above.

• Remove the four screws on the black plate below the fan motor assembly (E).
• Connect the adaptor plug exiting the bottom of the motor with the plug from the switch cup (F). Be sure the plugs connection snap together completely.
• Mount the switch housing to the black plate below the motor by aligning the four screw holes and securing with the four screws that were removed in the step 1.
• Attach the pull chain extension (EE) to the fan pull chains.

Operation

OPERATING YOUR FAN

Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan. The fan pull chain controls the fan speed as follows:

• 1 pull - High
• 2 pulls - Medium
• 3 pulls - Low
• 4 pulls - Off

The appropriate speed settings for warm or cool weather depends on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and number of fans.

The slide switch (XX) controls the direction of the blades: forward (switch left) or reverse (switch right).

NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction of the blade rotation.

A. Warm weather - (Forward)

A downward airflow creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.

B. Cool weather - (Reverse)

An upward airflow moves warm air off of the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

Care and Cleaning

⚠ WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.

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. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.

Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage the motor or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.

You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.

You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
