MOUNTING OPTIONS

Three Mounting Options

Choose one of the following mounting options:

• Closemount Installation is best suited for ceilings lower than 8 feet. It does not utilize the downrod.
• Downrod Mount is best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer downrod (not included).
• Angled Ceiling Mount is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance from the ceiling. If using the angle mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 16°.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN INSTALLING THE
FAN AND SAVE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION:

• All set screws of the fan must be checked and retightened where necessary before installation.
• To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
• Before changing the fan direction, turn off the fan and wait for the fan blades to stop completely.
• The safeguards provided by these safety instructions and by the separate installation instructions are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors which can not be built into this product. These factors must be supplied by the person(s) installing, caring for and operating the fan.
• The fan weight is Net Weight: 19.23 lbs (8,74 kg). Be sure the outlet box (not included) is securely attached to the building structure and is marked “Acceptable For Fan Support”. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.

WARNING:

• To avoid risk of electric shock, be sure to shut off power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box before installing or servicing this fixture. Turning off the electrical power by using the light switch is not sufficient to prevent electrical shock.
• To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan so that the blades are at least 7 feet (2.1 Meters) above the floor and at least 18 inches (0.5 Meters) from the tip of the blades to the wall.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support” and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
• The installation has to be in accordance with the national electrical code, ansi/nfpa 70-1999 and local codes. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring, seek the services of a qualified licensed electrician.
• Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from the fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch to control the fan speed.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Turn OFF the electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker.
   DANGER: Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.

2. Remove the mounting bracket by removing the two mounting bracket screws from the round holes in the canopy. Then loosen the other two mounting bracket screws from the J-slots. Retain the mounting bracket screws for later. Install the mounting bracket to the outlet box (not included) using the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.
   Warning: To reduce the risk of fire electric shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support” and use the mounting screws and washers provided with the outlet box.

3. Remove the ten motor screws, washers, and five motor blocks from the underside of the motor. Discard the motor blocks and washers but save the motor screws for blade arm installation.
4. CLOSEMOUNT INSTALLATION (Optional) –
   • Remove the three Phillips-head closemount screws from the top of the motor assembly.
   • Remove the canopy cover from the bottom of the canopy.
   • Align the holes in the bottom of the canopy with the screw holes in the top of the motor assembly. The larger holes in the canopy will encompass the three pre-installed screws.
   • Secure the canopy to the top of the motor assembly with the three closemount screws.
     Proceed to Step 9.

5. DOWNROD MOUNT – Remove the downrod clip and downrod pin from the downrod. Then, loosen but do not remove the two set screws at the top of the yoke
6. Feed the wires and braided cable coming from the yoke through the yoke cover, canopy and downrod.

7. Insert the downrod into the yoke and reinstall the downrod pin and downrod clip. Then retighten the two set screws.
   Note: With wiring extending out of the downrod, measure 8 inches of lead wire and cut the excess wire with wire cutters (not included). Then strip 1/2” of insulation from the end of each wire. Do not cut braided cable.

8. Lift the downrod into the mounting bracket. Rotate the downrod until the tab in the mounting bracket is seated in the slot in the downrod ball.
   WARNING: The fan and/or downrod should not rotate in the mounting bracket, if installed correctly. Failure to align the slot in the downrod ball with the tab on the mounting bracket may result in fan falling causing serious injury or death.

SECONDARY HANGING SYSTEM

  *  **For installation in the United States:** Building codes in the U.S.A. do not require installation of a Secondary Hanging System. If desired, the braided cable can be cut and removed using wire cutters (sold separately). Skip to Step 12.
  *  **For installation in Canada:** In compliance with building codes in Canada, installation of the Secondary Hanging System is required.

9. Feed the loop of the braided cable, preassembled to the motor assembly, up through the outlet box mounted in the ceiling.
10. Install secondary support screw, secondary spring washer, and support washer partly into the side of the brace installed in the ceiling. Then lift the braided cable up and over the ceiling brace and place the open loop of the braided cable around the secondary support screw.
    Note: The ceiling support brace may not be accessible from below. If not, it must be accessed from above.
    Important: The braided cable must make a complete circle around the support brace to secure the fan.

11. Tighten the secondary support screw securing the braided cable.

12. Use wire connectors to connect the fan wires to the power supply wires according to the wiring diagram and the following instructions:

    • Connect the white wire from the fan to the white (neutral) supply wire.
    • Connect the black and blue wires from the fan to the black (hot) supply wire.
    • Connect the green wire from the downrod and mounting bracket to the bare/green (ground) supply wire. Note: The downrod is not used for closemount installation, so there will only be two green wires to connect.
      Note: If a second hot/power wire is available from the outlet box, connect it to the blue (light power) fan wire for separate fan and light switches.
      Important: After the connections have been made, the wires should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. Place the black and white wire connections on opposite sides of the outlet box.

13. Align the canopy over the loosened mounting bracket screws. Place the J-slot of the canopy onto the mounting bracket screws and rotate clockwise. Secure the canopy with the two previously removed mounting bracket screws. Tighten all the mounting bracket screws securely

14. Partially insert the blade screws and blade washers through the blade and into the blade arm. Tighten each blade screw with a Phillips screwdriver (not included), starting with the one in the middle. Repeat this step for the remaining blades.
15. . Install the blade arm to the underside of the motor assembly with previously removed motor screws. Tighten each blade arm completely before moving to the next.

16. Remove the three switch housing screws from the top edge of the light kit. Then, connect the single-pin connectors from the switch housing to the single-pin connectors from the light kit — blue to blue and white to white. Then, using the three previously removed switch housing screws, secure the light kit to the switch housing.
17. Remove the preassembled socket ring and metal washer from each socket. Lift the wire shade and metal washer onto the socket and secure using the socket ring. Install the E26-base LED bulbs into the sockets of the light kit.

18. Attach pull chain extensions to the pull chains.
    Note: When facing the reverse switch, the pull chain on the left controls the light and the pull chain on the right controls the fan.

19. Installation is complete.
    Turn ON the electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Use the reverse switch, located on the switch housing to optimize your fan for seasonal performance. Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort. In warmer weather, push the reverse switch down which will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect. In cooler weather, push the reverse switch up which will result in upward airflow that can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area.
   Important: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either completely up or down in order for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate.

2. The fan pull chain has four positions to control fan speed. One pull is HIGH, two is MEDIUM, three is LOW and four turns the fan OFF. The light pull chain turns the light ON and OFF.
