Installation

MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support using the screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:

• Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
• Secure the outlet box (KK) (not included) directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials (not included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations below show two different ways to mount the outlet box (KK) (not included).

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (LL) (not included) as shown above.

Operation

PULL CHAIN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Install two pull chains and fobs (II) onto the pull chains located in the switch housing and light kit. Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan.
The pull chain controls the fan speed as follows:
1 pull – High, 2 pulls – Medium, 3 pulls – Low and 4 pulls – Off.
Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, numbers of fans, and so on.
To turn the light On or Off, pull the chain that is attached to the light kit.

REVERSE SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The reverse switch is located on the surface of the switch housing. This switch controls directions: forward (switch down) or reverse (switch up).
NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction of the blade rotation.

Warm weather – (Counterclockwise Direction) A downward air flow creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather – (Clockwise Direction) An upward air flow moves warm air off the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.
Do

• Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
• Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
• (Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
• (Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.

Do not

• Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
• Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Troubleshooting

breakers.
□ Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
The fan sounds noisy.| □ Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
□ Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the motor hub are tight.
□ Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
□ Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time. If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware are secured tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
□ Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling. Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
The fan wobbles.|

□ Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts). Once the fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.
If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process:
– Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades, then select any fan blade and measure from the center of the selected blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling fo every blade.
Measurement deviations should be within 1/8 in.
– If all deviations are less than 1/8 in. and the fan continues to wobble, please call Customer Service (1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit.
– If deviation is greater than 1/8 in. , please call Customer Service (1-855 -HD-HAMPTON) to order complimentary replacements of your brackets.
