MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn’t an existing 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 moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet box. Do not use a plastic outlet box.
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).

BLADE INSTALLATION

Assemble the blade onto the motor. Align the two holes of the blades with the motor and tighten them with the screw pack B1.(Fig.5)Then, Convert the fan body, have the blade overlap each other and tighten them with the provides screws B2 in parts bag.(Fig.6)
All blade sets are grouped together by weight. Because plastic materials vary in density, the fan may wobble even though the blades are weight matched.

HANGING THE FAN

WARNING: All of the parts, hardware and components such as the hanger bracket and hanger ball have been provided for your safety and the proper installation of your new ceiling fan. The use of other parts, hardware or components not supplied by Minka Aire® with the fan will void the Minka Aire® Warranty.
REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the steps below to hang your fan properly:

• Step 1: Remove the clevis pin and set screw from downrod assembly. (Fig. 7 )
• Step 2: Route wires through canopy cover, canopy and hanger ball. (fig. 8 )
• Step 3: Thread the rod into the motor shaft, tighten the set screw, clevis pin (Fig.9 &Fig. 10 )
• Note: Two positions for the clevis pin, but do not change the set screws position.
• Step 4: Secure the hanger bracket to the ceiling outlet box using screws included with your outlet box and washers included with the fan.(Fig.11)
• Step 5: Now lift motor assembly into position and place ball into hanger bracket. Rotate until the check groove has dropped into the registration slot and seats firmly. Rod should not rotate if this is done correctly(Fig.12 )

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: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 1.1. 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.
  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 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)

• 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)
  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.

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 21. 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 22.This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

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.
