MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn’t an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and its support must be able to fully support the full weight of the fan (up to 15.9 kg (35 lb)). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a longer downrod to maintain proper clearance between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A minimum clearance of 12” is suggested for optimal operation.
NOTE: Depending on the location you have selected for installation, you may need to purchase and install a “Joist Hanger” for the support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist hanger you purchase has been designed for use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

HANGING THE FAN

NOTE: FOR CANADA, THIS FAN MUST BE SECURED DIRECTLY TO THE BUILDING STRUCTURE/CEILING JOIST. DON’T SECURE THIS FAN TO AN OUTLET BOX. (see Fig. 6A)
REMEMBER to turn off the power before you begin.
To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Remove the decorative canopy bottom cover from the canopy by turning the cover counterclockwise. (Fig. 5)
Step 2. Remove the ceiling mounting bracket from the canopy by removing (and save) one of the two screws. Loosen the remaining screw by a half turn. (Fig. 5)
Step 3. Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the ceiling outlet box through the center of the ceiling mounting bracket. (Fig. 6)
Step 4. Attach the ceiling mounting bracket to the outlet box using the screws and washers included with the outlet box. (Fig. 6)
Step 4A. Secure the mounting bracket directly to a joist from the building structure. Use only the appropriate wood screws and lock washers included with your fan. (Fig. 7)

NOTE: THIS STEP IS ONLY FOR CANADA.
CAUTION: The hanger bracket must be installed directly to the building joist using the two wood screws and washers provided.
(Fig. 7)

Step 5. Remove the hanger ball from the downrod assembly by loosening the set screw, unscrewing and removing the cross pin and unscrewing the ball off the rod. (Fig. 8)
Step 6. Loosen the two set screws and remove the hitch pin and retaining clip from the coupling on top of the motor assembly. (Fig. 9)

CONTROL SYSTEM SET-UP

WARNING: Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep batteries away from children.
WARNING: Make sure the power is completely disconnected before you begin this procedure.
SPECIAL NOTE: Your new Kichler® Ceiling Fan is state of the art and employs a high efficiency DC (direct current) motor with an advanced CoolTouch™ remote control system. The DC motor uses 70% less energy than a conventional ceiling fan AC induction motor. The DC motor is “digitally” controlled and operates differently than conventional ceiling fan motors.
Please read this portion of the manual completely before proceeding.
Our CoolTouch™ Control System includes an “automatic frequency selection” feature. To set the control frequency and program the control system, follow these steps:
Open the back of the transmitter by loosening the screw (figure 21). The frequency selector is a “dip switch block” inside the battery compartment of the transmitter (see figure 22). You change frequencies by arranging the small switches numbered 1 through 4 in a up or down position. 16 Possible frequencies
or combinations are possible. The fifth switch, marked D and X sets the system for operation with incandescent or fluorescent lamps. It is essential to set this switch correctly. If your ceiling fan is equipped with incandescent lamps set this switch to the D position, for fluorescent lamps, set the switch to the X position. If these settings are reversed, the lighting control system will operate erratically and could damage your ceiling fan.

System programing: Read all of these steps before proceeding.
Each step must be followed exactly to properly program the control system.

You can leave the frequency switches at the factory setting or move them to any combination of up or down. Use a small flat bladed screwdriver to move the switches.
Insert both batteries and make sure they are seated correctly in each recess with the positive + sign facing up. Replace the battery cover. (Figure 21)
Test the transmitter by pushing and releasing ANY button briefly. A Blue Light should illuminate under the 3-4 buttons. (Fig. 23) If not, check to make sure the batteries are inserted and seated correctly. Power Up and Programming:
Follow the below steps to set the remote control:
The auto learning function will only mandate within 60 seconds when turning the fan’s AC power ON. (Figure 24)
Select desired frequency from the back of transmitter.
From the back of the transmitter, press and hold the “hold ” button for 5+ seconds. Once the receiver has detected the frequency, the light will flash twice, and the fan will automatically begin to operate and start to rotate in the counter clockwise direction and on the highest RPM for 3 minutes. When counterclockwise rotation has finished, the fan will automatically reverse to clockwise direction again to the highest RPM for 3 minutes. Fan will shut off when the self calibration test has finished. The total self calibration test will last about 6 minutes.
NOTE: If the self calibration test failed, turn the AC power off; restore power and process the self calibration test again.
NOTE: During self calibration test, the remote is non-fuctional.
NOTE: The learning frequency function and self calibration test will continue to retain the last set frequency and calibration set even when the AC power is shut off. If the frequency is changed the self calibration test will occur again.
Your CoolTouch™ Control System is now programmed and ready for use. Please see the Operating Instructions.

The receiver provides the following protective function:

Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against obstruction during operation. If there is an obstruction, the motor will stop and then the power will automatically go off in 30 seconds. Remove the obstruction and reset.
Over 80W protection: When the receiver detects motor power consumption which is greater than 80W, the receiver power will be stopped and operation will immediately discontinue. Wait for 5 seconds and then turn the receiver power back on.

BUTTON INSTRUCTIONS

Figure 27
The “FORWARD/REVERSE “ button is used to set the fan in forward or reverse operation. Each time you press this button the fan blades will reverse direction. This button functions ONLY when the fan blades are in motion. OPERATIONAL NOTE: Each time you start the blades rotating, at any speed or reverse, the direction of the blades the Control System will do a “Self Check” to ensure operational integrity. The blades will rotate slowly a short distance (¼ turn), pause, change directions, rotate ¼ turn, then build up RPM’S to the selected speed. This is a perfectly normal procedure and ensures normal operating performance

INSTALLING THE COOL TOUCHTM CONTROL SYSTEM WALL PLATE

Select a location to install the Wall Control System Transmitter and Wall Plate.

WARNING: All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
Select a location to install your CoolTouch™ Control System Transmitter. You can replace an existing wall switch or, install the transmitter on ANY flat surface.

Option 1: Install the control system using an existing wall switch outlet box. Make sure the electrical power is TURNED OFF at the main panel before continuing.

NOTE: Switch installation must comply with all local and national electric codes.

Step 1. Remove the existing wall plate and the old switch from the wall outlet box. Wire nut the BLACK leads (hot) together and push back inside the outlet box. (Fig. 28)
Step 2. Install the metal plate and CoolTouch™ wall plate to the existing wall outlet box with 4 screws provided. Then place the two plastic plugs into the wall plate. (Fig. 29)

Option 2: Install the control system on ANY flat surface.
Select the desired location and use the CoolTouch™ wall plate to mark the location for the mounting holes. Use the dry wall anchors and/or screws provided and finish the installation.

INSTALLING THE TRANSMITTER

Insert the transmitter into the wall plate by inserting the bottom of the transmitter first and then press the top of the transmitter into the pocket. The transmitter will fully function from this location or you can remove the transmitter and use as a “Hand Held” device. (Fig. 30)
Press the release button to remove the transmitter from the wall plate.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Warm weather – Forward (counter clockwise).
A downward airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Fig. 31. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather – Reverse (clockwise).
An upward airflow moves warm air from the ceiling as shown in Fig. 32. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

NOTE: To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the reverse button while the fan is running.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: Solution

Fan will not start.

Check circuit fuses or breakers.
Check all electrical connections to ensure proper contact.
CAUTION: Make sure the main power is OFF when checking any electrical connection.

Fan sounds noisy.

Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade brackets to the motor are tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappears during this time.
If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Make sure the light bulbs are not touching any other component.
Do not connect this fan to wall mounted variable speed control(s). They are not compatible with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.
Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.

Fan wobbles.

Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement.
Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation should be equal within 1/8”.
If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

Remote control malfunction.

Ceiling fans with remote control systems CAN NOT be operated in conjunction with any other control system EXCEPT a basic On/Off wall switch, if desired.
