6. After marking electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the junction box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the junction box.

7. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.

8. Do not use the reverse switch while the fan blades are in motion. To prevent damage and ensure long use, the fan must be turned off and the blades stopped before reversing direction.

9. Do not place objects in the path of the blades.

10. Exercise caution when working around or cleaning the fan.

11. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the fan body and blades. Do not use water or detergent.

12. The electrical diagrams provided herein are for reference only. Light kits that are not packaged with the fan must be UL listed and suitable for use with this fan. Switches must be UL general use switches. Refer to their separate instructions for proper assembly.

NEVER BEND THE BLADES FOR ANY REASON.

Preparation

Turn off Your Power
Begin installation by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers to the wiring you will be using. Use your compatible UL listed junction box if you already have one installed. Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.

Choose Your Mounting Position
If you need to install a new UL listed junction box, secure it directly to your building’s structure using appropriate fasteners and materials. Do not use plastic boxes. The junction box and its supports must be able to support the MOVING weight of the fan (at least 50 lb.) and be rated for fan support.

Choose a Suitable Location
Ensure the blades will be at least 30 inches from any obstruction and at least 7 feet above the floor. In locations without a ceiling joist, a hanger support bar may be required. Do not install in damp locations.

Initial Installation

• Step 1. Pass the supply wires through the central hole of the mounting bracket.
• Step 2. Secure the bracket to the junction box with appropriate fasteners. For wood or other thinner and weaker ceilings, use the mounting screws or bolts, the metal or spring washers, and drywall anchors (not included). For reinforced concrete or similar ceilings, use anchor bolts (not included).

Downrod Mounting

• Step 1. Remove the pin and clip from the downrod. Then partially loosen the two bolts in the yoke at the top of the motor assembly.
• Step 2. Carefully place the canopy, canopy cover, and coupling cover onto the downrod. Feed the lead wires from the fan motor through the downrod.
• Step 3. Install the downrod onto the yoke, aligning the holes, inserting the pin through the downrod, and replacing the clip. Then retighten the bolts.
• Step 4. Place the downrod’s mount onto the mounting bracket. Rotate the entire assembly until the tab has dropped into the mount’s slot and locked firmly into place. The motor assembly should no longer rotate if seated properly.
  • Failure to reattach the pin and/or properly seat the downrod can cause the fan to fall from the ceiling during operation.
  • DO NOT use the fan before ensuring it is properly secured and the motor cannot rotate.

Circuit Connections

• Again, ensure that the power has been cut before working with the wiring. Use the wire nuts provided with your fan.
• Ensure there are no loose wires or connections, and secure connectors with electrical tape.
• Step 1. Insert the receiver into the tray with the receiver facing the ceiling. For best results, make sure the white antenna on the end of the receiver remains extended and not tangled with any of the electrical wires.
• Step 2. Connect the 5 colored wires of the receiver to the 5 identically colored wires of the fan motor. Secure each set with the provided wire nuts.
• Step 3. Connect the 2 colored wires of the receiver to the 2 identically colored wires of the junction box. Secure each set with the provided wire nuts.
• Step 4. Connect the green or bare copper ground wire of the junction box to the ground wire of the ceiling fan motor. Separate the white and green connections from the black wire connections, which should be kept on opposite sides of the junction box.

Canopy Installation

• Step 1. Tuck all the connections neatly into the junction box.
• Step 2. Slide the canopy up to the mounting bracket and place the key hole slots over the mounting screws or bolts on the bracket. Rotate the canopy until the fasteners’ heads lock in place at the narrow section of the key hole.
• Step 3. Attach the canopy cover to the bottom of the canopy and screw it into place.

Fan Blade Installation

• Step 1. Remove the bolts from the top and bottom rims of the motor assembly.
• Step 2. Fit the blade onto the motor assembly, aligning their slots.
• Step 3. Secure the blade by replacing 2 removed bolts.
• Step 4. Repeat for the remaining 2 blades.

Light Installation

• Step 1. Remove the bolts from the bottom of the fan motor.
• Step 2. Feed the wire plug of the fan motor through the middle of the light plate. Install the light plate onto the motor and secure it by replacing and tightening the bolts.
• Step 3. Connect the LED light kit to the light plate using its magnetic suction-cup bolt.
• Step 4. Connect the wire plugs of the LED light kit to the wire plugs of the fan motor (blue to blue and white to white).
• Step 5. Fit the shade onto the light plate, screwing it into place. Ensure it is firmly connected to avoid loosening during use.

Color Temperature Adjustment

The LED light has 3 different color settings: Warm White (3000K), Daylight (4500K), and Cool White (6000K). To adjust the light settings,

1. Press LIGHT on the remote control to turn on the LED light.
2. Press LIGHT again to turn off the light.
3. Press LIGHT to turn on the light once more with the next color temperature in order. Repeat these steps to toggle among 3 color temperatures.

Remote Control Operation

Install the remote control holder onto any wall or suitable flat surface using two mounting screws/bolts.

temperature

1–6| Toggles among 6 fan speeds
FAN| Starts or stops the fan
F| Rotates the fan clockwise
 | Runs the fan in preset mode
R| Rotates the fan counterclockwise
1H| Runs the fan for 1 hour and then turns it off
2H| Runs the fan for 2 hours and then turns it off
4H| Runs the fan for 4 hours and then turns it off

DO NOT press F or R to reverse the fan’s direction while the fan is turning. Wait for it to stop completely before changing the direction of its rotation. This remote operates with a range of 30 feet (10 m). It uses 2 1.5V AAA batteries (not included). If the remote will not be used for a prolonged period, it is recommended to remove the batteries for better service life.

Troubleshooting

Fan blades don’t rotate

| Check fuses and/or circuit breakers and reset if needed.
Cut off power to the fan and check its internal electrical connections.
Replace the remote control’s batteries.
Check that the fan cover is correctly placed and no fasteners

interfere with the movement of the blades.

Contact customer service to replace a faulty remote control.

Fan is too noisy

| Check that all fasteners are well tightened.
Ensure the canopy housing has a short distance between itself

and the ceiling.

Upon initial installation, allow 24 hours of use for the machine to

break itself in.

Cut off power to the fan and check that the wire nut connections

are not rubbing against one another or the inner housing.

If you have installed a solid-state variable-speed control, cut off power to the fan and disconnect this control from the device. See if using the remote resolves the problem, which can be caused by erratic signals from such controls.

Fan wobbles during use

| Check that all fasteners are well tightened.
Use the provided blade balancing kit to adjust the blades if their tips are found to be an unequal distance from the ceiling while well fastened.
Exchange the position of the various blades.

Again, do not bend the blades during any of these procedures.
