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 pounds)). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
Figures 1 and 2 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
MOUNTING OPTIONS

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. 3)

HANGING THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY

REMEMBER to turn off the power before you begin installation.
This is necessary for your safety and also the proper programming of the control system.
To properly install your ceiling fan, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Before attaching fan to outlet box (not included), ensure the outlet box is securely fastened to at least two points to a structural ceiling member (a loose box will cause the fan to wobble). Pass the 120 volt supply wires from the outlet box through the center of the mounting plate. Install mounting plate to outlet box in ceiling using the screws and washers included with the outlet box. (Fig. 4)
Step 2. Hook the motor assembly onto the mounting plate as shown.
You can now proceed with the electrical wiring of your fan. (Fig.5)

INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT

(required for Canadian installation ONLY)

A safety support cable is provided to help prevent the ceiling fan from faIling, please install it as follows.

Step 1. Drive a wood screw and washers into the side of the brace that holds the outlet box. Leave 3mm (1/8″) of space between the support brace and the washer. (Fig. 6)
Step 2. Insert the safety cable through the mounting bracket and one of the holes in the outlet box into the ceiling. Adjust the length of the safety cable to reach the screw and washers by pulling the extra cable through the cable clamp until the overall length is correct, put the end of the cable back through the cable clamp, forming a loop at the end of the cable. Tighten the cable clamp securely. Now, put the loop in the end of the safety cable over the wood screw and under the washer. Tighten the wood screw securely. (Fig.7)

NOTE: Although the safety support cable is required for Canadian installations only. It’s a good idea to make the attachment with any installation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION

ACTIVATING THE LEARNING PROCESS

NOTE: The control system for this fan is equipped with a learning frequency function which has 56K code combinations to prevent potential interference from other remote units. The frequency on your receiver and wall control units has been preset at the factory. No frequency change is necessary. If the fan is non-functional or if you desire to install another fan within the same area with a separate frequency code, refer to “ learning process” section of this instruction manual to code-paring the receiver and wall control.

Use a small flat screw driver and gently pry the faceplate apart from the top of wall control. (Fig. 17)
After installation is complete, press and hold the LEARN button for 3 seconds within 30 seconds after AC power is turned on. Fan will turn on at medium speed and light (if installed) will turn on. This confirms that the SMART SYNC setting is active and OK.
If you cannot finish the setting within the 30 seconds time frame, the main power must be turned off and re-started again. This will repeat step 1 until the LEARN feature is activated as indicated.

LIGHT FUNCTION SELECT SWITCH(Fig. 18)
D means “Dimmer”
O means “only on/off, no dimmer”
The light of this fan is dimmable, it has been set to “D” position at factory. If you want the light to be
only ON/OFF, slide the switch to “O” position.

WALL CONTROL OPERATION(Fig. 18)
ON/OFF: Active and lock the wall control
HI : High speed
MED: Medium speed
LOW: Low speed
FAN OFF: Turn off the fan
LIGHT: Turn light ON or OFF. Press and hold the button to set desired brightness.
REV: Control direction, forward or reverse.

REVERSE FUNCTION

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

Warm Weather Operation: Forward (counter clockwise). A downward airflow creates a cooling effect (Fig. 19). This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your general comfort.

Cool Weather Operation: Reverse (clockwise). An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling areas (Fig. 20). This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your general comfort.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Solution
Fan will not start.	1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.

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

Fan sounds noisy.| 1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

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

3. 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.

4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noise associated with a new fan disappears during this time.

5. 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.

6. Do not connect this fan to a wall mounted variable speed control(s). They are not compatible with ceiling fan motors or remote controls.

7. Make sure the upper canopy has a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.

Fan wobble.| 1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.

2. 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″.

3. 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.| 1.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.
