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 three different ways to mount the outlet box (not included).
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If the canopy (B) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D), then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (C) and turn the canopy (B) 180° before attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting bracket (A).
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.

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 flnish. 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
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
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
switch housing.
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.
