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 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 Aire dealer).

INSTALLING THE FAN BLADES

• Step 1:  Remove the eight blade screws from the fan motor assembly. Keep the screws for subsequent steps. (FIG.5)
• Step 2:  Attach the blade to the fan motor assembly using two blade screws. Attach the other blades to the fan motor assembly. (FIG.6)

HANGING THE FAN

• Step 6: Lift the Motor Assembly and place the Hanger Ball into the Hanger Bracket. Rotate the Motor Assembly as needed until the check groove from the Hanger Ball rests firmly over the registration slot from the Hanger Bracket. (Fig:13 )

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 for this DC motor fans is equipped with a learning frequency function which has 32 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.14) No frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another Minka Aire DC motor fan within the same home or area with a separate frequency code please see the 11frequency interference11 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.15 )
• Step 2: Connect the male connectors from fan to the female connectors from the receiver. (Fig.16)

NOTE: The learning frequency function and self-calibration test will continue to retain the last set frequency and calibration set even when the AC power is shut off. If the frequency is changed the self calibration test will occur again.

1. Lock position: The DC motor has a built-in safety against obstruction during operation. The motor will get locked and disconnect power for 30 seconds if interruption occurs. Please remove obstacles before re-setting.
2. Over 40W protection: When the receiver detects motor owner consumption which is greater than 40W, the receiver’s power will stop and operation will be immediately discontinued. Turn the receiver power on after 5 seconds.
3. “DIMMER” and “ON/OFF” dip switch: The “DIMMER” selection is the light dimmable selection and is to be used with all bulbs except for CFL bulbs. The “ON/OFF” selection is For CFL bulbs.

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 19. 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 20. 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 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.
