Safety Information

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

DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, ensure it is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential for minimizing wobble and noise.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury, gloves may be necessary when handling fan parts with sharp edges.

WARNING: Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch for fan speed control.

WARNING: 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 provided mounting screws. Outlet boxes for lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and might need replacement. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the fan's moving weight (at least 35 lbs.).

WARNING: Wire connectors provided are designed for one 12-gauge house wire and two fan lead wires. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or requires connecting more than one house wire to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for appropriate wire connectors.

WARNING: Do not bend the blade arms when installing, balancing, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between rotating fan blades.

WARNING: Use only provided parts. Using parts other than those provided will void the warranty.

CAUTION: Ensure the outlet box is properly grounded or has a ground (green or bare) wire.

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

CAUTION: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) it may not cause interference, and (2) it must accept any interference received.
