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: 11.2 lbs (5,08 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.
• This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device (if applicable).

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. Secure the upper mounting bracket to the outlet box using screws, spring washers, provided with the outlet box (not included).
   Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware when installing the upper mounting bracket as it will support the fan.

3. Remove the preassembled lower bracket screw from the lower mounting bracket and the upper bracket screws from the upper mounting bracket. Remove the motor screws and set aside for later. Place one tab of the lower bracket into a large slot in the upper mounting bracket.

4. Reinstall the previously removed lower bracket screw and upper mounting screws to secure the lower mounting bracket to the upper mounting bracket.
   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 8.
   For installation in Canada: In compliance with building codes in Canada, installation of the Secondary Hanging System is required.

5. Feed the loop of the braided cable, preassembled to the motor assembly, up through the outlet box mounted in the ceiling.

6. 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.

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

8. 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 (live) supply wire.
   • Connect the green wire from the lower bracket to the bare/green (ground) supply wire.
     Note: If there is a second live/hot wire coming from the outlet box, connect it to the blue (light power) wire for separate light and fan control.
     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.

9. Temporarily lift the motor housing to the upper mounting bracket to determine which two motor housing screws in the sides of the upper mounting bracket align with the slotted holes in the top edge of the motor housing. Partially loosen the two motor housing screws that align with the slotted holes. Remove the other two motor housing screws from opposite sides of the upper mounting bracket. Slide the motor housing over the motor, aligning the slotted holes in the motor housing with the loosened motor housing screws in the upper mounting bracket. Twist the motor housing to lock. Then re-insert the two previously removed motor housing screws and securely tighten all screws.

10. Partially insert the blade screws along with the 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 and blade arms.

11. Install the blade arm to the underside of the motor assembly with motor screws previously removed (Step 3, page 6). Tighten with Phillips screwdriver (not included). Repeat for each blade arm.

12. Install the E26-base LED bulb in the socket. Important: Make sure you allow the bulbs and light kit to cool before you replace the bulbs.

13. Loosen the three thumbscrews near the bottom of the light kit. Lift the glass globe into the light kit and retighten the previously loosened thumbscrews to secure.

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

15. Restore the power at the main fuse or circuit breaker and wall switch.
    Assembly is complete.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Use the fan 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.
   Importante: 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 the 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.
