Installation

MOUNTING OPTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support using 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 (not included) directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials (not included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lb). Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations below show two different ways to mount the outlet box (not included).

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (not included) as shown above.

Assembly — Hanging the Fan

Attaching the mounting plate to the electrical box

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury, mount the fan only to an outlet box or supporting system marked acceptable for fan support and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.

• Attach the mounting plate (A) to the outlet box (DD) (not included) with two screws and washers provided with the outlet box (DD). Ensure the mounting plate (A) is tight and secured.

Hanging the fan to the mounting plate

WARNING: The hook is only to hold the fan while attaching wiring. Failure to hang as instructed may result in the hook breaking causing the fan to fall. The hook must pass from the inside to the outside of the fan motor assembly.

• Make sure the slot openings of the canopy ring (B) are on top, and then slip the canopy ring (B) onto the fan motor assembly (E).
• Carefully lift the fan motor assembly (E) up to the mounting plate (A) and hang the fan on the hook (EE) provided using one of the holes at the outer rim of the fan motor assembly (E).

Setting up the remote control

NOTE: The frequencies on your receiver and remote control have been preset at the factory. Before installing the receiver, make sure the dip switches on the receiver and remote control are set to the same frequency. The dip switches on the remote control are located inside the battery compartment.

NOTE: The battery will weaken with age and should be replaced before leaking takes place as this will damage the remote control. Dispose of the used battery properly and keep the battery out of the reach of children.

• NOTE: The frequency switches on the receiving unit are covered with a rubber cover. Remove the rubber cover and then replace it after making any changes to the frequency switches.

Setting the code on the remote:

•  Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control (G) by pressing firmly on the arrow and sliding the cover off.
• Slide the code switches to your choice of either up or down. The factory setting is up.
• Install the 23A 12V battery (BB) (included).

Setting the code on the receiver (FF) (located inside top of the motor housing):

• Slide the code switches on the receiver (FF) to the same positions as set on the remote control (G).
• After checking the switches, insert the receiver (FF) into the mounting plate (A) with the flat side of the receiver facing the ceiling.

Making the electrical connections

WARNING: Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire nuts, except for the ground wire.

CAUTION: Do not use with a wall light dimmer switch.

NOTE: The fan must be installed at a maximum distance of 20 ft. from the remote control for proper signal transmission between the remote control and the fan’s receiving unit.

If you feel you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your household wiring. Use the plastic wire nuts (AA) with your fan. Secure the plastic wire nuts (AA) with electrical tape. Make sure there are no loose strands or connections.

• Make wire connections from the receiver and fan to the outlet box as follows, using the wire nuts (AA).

From receiver                       To outlet box
Black wire “AC in L” ———- Black wire (hot)
White wire “AC in N” ——— White wire (neutral)

From mounting plate           To outlet box
Green wire ——————- Green or bare wire (ground)

• Turn the wire nut connections upward, spreading them apart so the green (ground) and white wires will be on one side and the black and blue wires will be on the other side.

Attaching the fan motor assembly to the mounting plate

• Remove two of the four motor mounting screws with lock washers (GG) from the motor assembly (E) and loosen the other two screws with lock washers (GG).
  (Do not remove.)

• Remove the fan motor assembly (E) from the mounting plate hook (EE), and engage the key holes on the mounting plate (A) with the two motor mounting screws with lock washers (GG) previously loosened.

• Install the two motor mounting screws with lock washers (GG) previously removed, and tighten all four motor mounting screws with lock washers (GG).

• Raise up canopy ring (B) and line up the four tabs (HH) with the four grooves (II) on the mounting plate (A). Once lined up, slide the canopy ring (B) up to the mounting plate (A) until snug.

Attaching the fan blades

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades (C).

• Insert the blade (C) through the slot on the motor. Align the holes on the blade (C) and the fan motor assembly (E) and secure the blade in place with blade support plate with screws and lock washers (D) provided.
• Repeat this process to attach the other blades (C).

Attaching the LED light kit to the light kit mounting plate

CAUTION: Before starting installation, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse at the fuse box. Turning power off using the fan switch is not sufficient to prevent electric shock.

NOTE: If the light kit could be wobbled by hand, it means the light kit is not twisted completely till the right position. Keep twisting the light kit till it could not be wobbled by hand.

• While holding the 20W LED light kit (F) under the fan motor assembly (E), snap together the wire connection plugs (JJ) :
  • White to white
  • Black to black
• Position the notches (KK) on the inner edge of the 20W LED light kit (F) so they match the tabs (LL) on the outside of the rim on the light kit mounting plate (MM). Carefully lift the 20W LED light kit (F) inside the light kit mounting plate (MM) and secure it to the fan by turning the 20W LED light kit (F) clockwise until snug.

• Replace the remote control holder cover (PP) into the remote control holder (NN).

REVERSE SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The reverse switch is located on the surface of the motor housing.
Slide the switch to the left for warm weather operation. Slide the switch to the right for cool weather operation.

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

Warm weather – (Counterclockwise Direction) A downward air flow creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool-weather – (Clockwise Direction) An upward air flow moves warm air off the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

Care and Cleaning

Do

• Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
• Clean your fan periodically. 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.
• (Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
• (Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.

Do not

• Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
• Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Troubleshooting

The fan will not start.

| Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.

Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the fan motor assembly. Check to make sure the frequency switches from the remote control and receiver are set to the same frequency.

The fan sounds noisy.

| Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the motor hub are tight.

Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.

Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time. If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware is secured tightly.

Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling. Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.

The remote control is not working.| Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s). Make sure the frequency switches are set correctly.

The fan wobbles.

| Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts). Once the fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.

If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process: Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades, then select any fan blade and measure from the center of the selected blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade.

Measurement deviations should be within 1/8 in.

If all deviations are less than 1/8 in. and the fan continues to wobble, please call Customer Service (1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit.

If deviation is greater than 1/8 in., please call Customer Service (1-855-HD- HAMPTON) to order complimentary replacements of your brackets.
