ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING:: To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.

NOTE: The Aire Control® System is equipped with a learning frequency function which has 256 code combinations to prevent potential interference from other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver and Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. (Fig. 2) No frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another fan within the same home or area with a seperate frequency code please see the “frequency interference” troubleshooting section of this instruction manual to learn how to change the frequency.

Note: The receiver has been attached the motor housing and wired for ease of installation. (Fig. 3)

NOTE: If your ceiling fan features an UP Light: Connect the ORANGE wire from the fan to the ORANGE wire marked “For Up Light” from the Receiver. Otherwise disregard this step and proceed to secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 4)

Note: Fan must be installed from a maximum distance of 40 feet from the transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the transmitting unit and the fan’s receiving unit.

• Step 1. Receiver to House Supply Wires Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the WHITE wire marked “AC in N” from the receiver. Connect the BLACK wire (Hot) from the outlet box to the BLACK wire marked “AC in L” from the receiver. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided. (Fig. 4)
• Step 2. Connect the fans ground wire (green) located on the mounting bracket to the household ground wire. Secure wire connection with the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 4) After all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose strands. As an additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic wire connectors to the wires with electrical tape.

FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

• Step 1. Loosen two of the four screws from the mounting bracket and remove the other two.
• Step 2. Remove the motor assembly from the mounting bracket hook and engage the key holes to the two screws previously loosened.
• Step 3. Install the two screws previously removed and tighten all four screws.

BLADE INSTALLATION

THE FOLLOWING OPERATION MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED BEFORE INSTALLING THE GLASS SHADE.

• Step 1. Insert the blades into the motor housing blade slots, push blade until it stops. You should be able to hear the inside safety pin drop into the blade hole to secure the  blade in place. (Fig. 6)

CAUTION: Re-check each blade to make sure all blades are secured to the motor by holding the blade from the tip and gently pulling it outwards. The blades should be snug to the motor housing without any up, down or sideways play. All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because plastic injection varies in density, the fan may wobble even though the blades are weight matched.

BLADE REMOVAL
In the event that the blades need to be removed, use the blade removal tool included with your fan. Remove the blades by pulling the safety pin via the opening above the blade in the motor housing as shown. (Fig. 7)

INSTALLING THE LED LIGHT KIT & GLASS SHADE

CAUTION: Before starting installation, make sure power is turned off at the circuit breaker. If you do not plan to install the light kit with your fan at this time, skip step 1, 2 & 3.

1. Remove 1 of 3 screws from the mounting plate and loosen the other 2 screws. (Do not remove)
2. While holding the LED light kit under the fan motor assembly, make the 2-pin wire connections: — White to white – Black to black
3. Place the key holes in the LED light kit over the two mounting screws previously loosened from the mounting plate. Turn the LED light kit until the LED light kit locks in place at the narrow section of the key holes. Secure by tightening the two screws previously loosened and the one previously removed.(Fig. 8)
4. Raise the glass shade (or metal light cover) up against the mounting plate and secure it to the fan by turning the glass shade clockwise until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (Fig. 8)

NOTE: The metal light cover included with your fan is an option to replace the glass for the light in the event that you prefer not to use the light feature of your fan. The metal light cover is not necessary for the light operation; it can be saved for later use if desired.

OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROL/WALL CONTROL

Remote Control only: Install a A23 12 volt battery (included). To prevent damage to transmitter remove the battery if not used for long periods of time.

Restore Power to Ceiling Fan.

Buttons:
These buttons are used to set the fan speeds as follows;

B. Button:
This button turns the fan off.

C. Button:
These buttons turn the light ON or OFF and also control the brightness settings of the light. The following instructions apply to ceiling fans that feature a DOWN light ( ****button) only or ceiling fans that feature an UP light (  button) and a DOWN light (  button) that are controlled independently of each other; Press and release the button for the desired light to turn the light ON or OFF. Press and hold the button to set the desired light brightness. The light will cycle between bright and dim settings as long as the button is pressed. The light key has an automatic auto-resume feature that allows the light to remain at the same brightness as the last time it was turned off.

D. OFF-ON Slide Button (Wall Control Fans Only)
This button turns the power Off and On to the Fan and Light(s).

E. Button: (Full Function Remote Control Units Only) This button is used to change the direction of the rotation of the blades; forward for warm weather or reverse for cool weather.

Hold the reverse button for a minimum of 3 seconds and release once you hear a faint “click” in the receiver area, this sound alerts you that the function has been received. The fan must be in operation to activate the reverse feature. Speed settings for warm or cold weather depend on factors such as room size, ceiling height and number of fans.

NOTE: To change the direction of the rotation of the blades the fan must be in operation mode. Warm Weather (forward) A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 9. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort. Cool Weather (Reverse) An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 10. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

CARE OF YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.

1. Because of the fan’s natural movement some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from the ceiling).

2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use only a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Plated finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning, this could damage the motor, wood blades or possibly cause an electrical shock.

3. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.

4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.

5. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.

WARNING!
