Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
NOTE : You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from your Minka-Aire® dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need to install a hanger bar as shown in Fig. 4 (available at your Minka- Aire® dealer).

3. Step 1. Secure the hanger bracket to the ceiling outlet box using screws included with your outlet box, lock washers included with the fan. (Fig.5)
4. Step 2. Loosen the two set screws and remove the hitch pin and lock pin from the top coupling of the motor assembly. (Fig. 6)
5. Step 3. Remove hanger ball from downrod assembly by loosening set screw, removing the cross pin, and sliding ball off rod. (Fig.7)

9. Step 7. Now lift motor assembly into position and place hanger ball into hanger bracket. Rotate until the check groove has dropped into the registration slot and seats firmly. (Fig. 10) Rod should not rotate if this is done correctly.

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. 11) 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.

• Step 1. Insert Receiver into Hanger Bracket with the flat side of the Receiver facing the ceiling. (Fig. 12)

• Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE wire from the fan to the WHITE wire marked “TO MOTOR N” from the Receiver. Connect the BLACK wire from the fan to the BLACK wire marked “TO MOTOR L” from the Receiver. Connect the BLUE wire from the fan to the BLUE wire marked “For Light” from the Receiver.
  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. 13 & 14)
  NOTE : Fan must be installed at 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 3. 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. 13 & 14)
  Step 4. If your outlet box has a GROUND wire (Green or Bare Copper) connect this wire to the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground wires. If your outlet box does not have a Ground Wire, then connect the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground Wires together. Secure wire connection with the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 13 & 14)
  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.

INSTALLING THE WALL TRANSMITTER

WARNING! HOOK UP “IN SERIES” ONLY. DO NOT CONNECT NEUTRAL SUPPLY WIRE OF ELECTRIC CIRCUIT TO THE TRANSMITTER WALL SWITCH,

DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMITTER WALL SWITCH AND POSSIBLE FIRE COULD OCCUR.

• Step 1. Remove the existing wall plate and switch from the wall outlet box.
• Step 2. Make the electrical connections as shown in Fig.14. If your outlet box has a ground wire (Green or Bare Copper) connect the Transmitter’s ground wire directly to one of the screws from the outlet box. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided.
• Step 3. Carefully tuck the wire connections inside the outlet box. Use the screws provided to secure the wall transmitter and wall plate to the outlet box. (Fig. 15)

NOTE : Your Aire Control™ System includes two sets of face and decorative plate color options. The wall control comes with standard white faceplate attached. If you desire to replace it with the Ivory color faceplate included, use a small flat screw driver and gently pry it apart from the top or bottom of the plate.

FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

• Step 1. Remove 1 of the 2 screws from the bottom of the hanger bracket and loosen the other one half a turn from the screw head.
• Step 2. Slide the canopy up towards the hanger bracket and place the key hole on the canopy over the screw on the hanger bracket, turn canopy until it locks in place at the narrow section of the key holes. (Fig. 16)
• Step 3. Align the circular hole on canopy with the remaining hole on the hanger bracket, secure by tightening the two set screws.
  NOTE: Adjust the canopy screws as necessary until the canopy and canopy cover are snug.

INSTALLING THE LIGHT BULB AND GLASS SHADE

WARNING : Shut of the power supply before removing or replacing lamp. In handling of LED bulb, care should be taken not to touch it with
your bare hands. Oil residue will shorten the life of the LED bulb. If you accidentally come into contact, wipe thoroughly with a clean, lint-free, cotton cloth. Allow the bulb to cool off for 10 minutes before changing the bulb. Use light bulb in accordance with the fan’s specification. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE DO NOT EXCEED

MAXIMUM WATTAGE RATING.

1. Install the E11 4W LED bulb (included). (Fig. 17)

2. Place glass shade into light plate, align the three flat sections from the glass neck with the three raised dimples from the light plate. Press glass into light plate and gently
   turn clockwise until it stops and feels snug, do not over tighten. (Fig. 17)
   CAUTION: hold the edges of the glass with both hands and very gently wiggle it up and down to make sure is properly secured and it won’t come off easily. (Fig. 17)
   NOTE : A metal light cap has been included with your fan as an option to replace the glass in the event that you prefer not to use the light feature of your fan. This metal light cap is not necessary for the light operation. It can be saved for later use if desired.

3. To install the metal light cap follow Step 2. above. To remove the metal light cap, you must first press and then turn counterclockwise, the custom built in spring mechanism inside the light plate will push the metal light cap out of the light plate. (Fig. 18)

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 year. CAUTION; many common household cleaning products contain chemicals that could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint free cloth and soapy water.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light coat of furniture polish for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
6. 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!
   MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION, “ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS”.

• If a Balancing kit is provided follow the instructions included with the balancing kit to help correct any excessive wobble.

SYMPTOM Fans/Light Turn On and Off Unexpectedly

SOLUTION

This is caused by interference, Please see “Frequency interference” for steps to change the frequency.

SYMPTOM Frequency Interference

SOLUTION

1. Turn the power off to your ceiling fan.
