WARNING:
- To avoid risk of electric shock, be sure to shut off power at the main fuse or circuit breaker box before installing or servicing this fixture. Turning off the electrical power by using the light switch is not sufficient to prevent electrical shock.
- To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan so that the blades are at least 7 feet (2.1 Meters) above the floor and at least 18 inches (0.5 Meters) from the tip of the blades to the wall.
- To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support” and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
- The installation has to be in accordance with the national electrical code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and local codes. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring, seek the services of a qualified licensed electrician.
- Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from the fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT use a full-range dimmer switch to control the fan speed.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
At least twice each year, lower the canopy to check the downrod assembly, and
then tighten all screws on the fan.
Clean the motor housing with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid
scratching the finish. Clean the blades with a lint-free cloth.
Total fixture wattage is 21 watts; do not attempt to replace LED.
Important: Shut off the main power supply before you begin any maintenance
tasks. Do not use water or a damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Loosen all four mounting bracket screws located on the mounting bracket and completely remove the two screws from the round holes in the canopy. Save the screws for later. Remove the canopy from the mounting bracket. Then, install the mounting bracket to the outlet box (sold separately) using the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support” and use the mounting screws and washers provided with the outlet box.
-
Remove the 6 Phillips-head motor screws from the top part of the motor and save the motor screws for blade arm installation.
-
Remove the downrod clip and downrod pin from the downrod. Then, loosen but do not remove the two set screws at the top of the yoke.
-
Insert the downrod through the canopy, canopy cover, and yoke cover. Feed the wires and braided cable coming from the fan through the downrod.
-
Slide the downrod into the yoke of the motor assembly, align the holes, then re-install the downrod pin and downrod clip. Secure with the two set screws and slide the yoke cover down until it rests on top of the motor assembly.
Note: With wiring extending out of the downrod, measure 8 inches of lead wire and cut the excess wire with wire cutters (not included). Then strip 1/2” of insulation from the end of each wire.
WARNING: Do not cut braided cable.
-
Install the ball end of the downrod into the opening of the mounting bracket. Rotate the downrod until the tab in the mounting bracket is seated in the slot in the downrod ball.
WARNING: The fan and/or downrod should not rotate in the mounting bracket, if installed correctly. Failure to align the slot in the downrod ball with the tab on the mounting bracket may result in fan falling causing serious injury or death.
SECONDARY HANGING SYSTEM
For installation in the United States: Building codes in the U.S.A. do not require installation of a Secondary Hanging System. If desired, the braided cable can be cut and removed using wire cutters (sold separately). Skip to Step 11.
For installation in Canada: In compliance with building codes in Canada, installation of the Secondary Hanging System is required. -
Feed the loop of the braided cable, preassembled to the motor assembly, up through the outlet box mounted in the ceiling.
-
Install secondary support screw, secondary spring washer, and support washer partly into the side of the brace installed in the ceiling. Then lift the braided cable up and over the ceiling brace and place the open loop of the braided cable around the secondary support screw.
Note: The ceiling support brace may not be accessible from below. If not, it must be accessed from above.
Important: The braided cable must make a complete circle around the support brace to secure the fan.
-
Tighten the secondary support screw securing the braided cable.
-
Use wire connectors to connect the fan wires to the power supply wires according to the wiring diagram and the following instructions:
• Connect the Green wires from the downrod and mounting bracket to the Bare/Green (ground) supply wire.
• Connect the White wire from the fan to the White (neutral) supply wire.
• Connect the Black and Blue wires from the fan to the Black (hot) supply wire.
Note: If there is a second hot/power wire coming from the outlet box, connect it to the Blue (light power) fan wire for separate light and fan control.
Important: After the connections have been made, the connected wires should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. Place the Black and White wire connections on opposite sides of the outlet box.
-
Raise the canopy, ensure the two mounting bracket screws are aligned with the J-shaped slots in the canopy.
Then turn the canopy in a clockwise direction until the mounting bracket screws are completely engaged in the J-shaped slots. Install the two previously removed mounting bracket screws in the round holes. Securely tighten all mounting bracket screws.
-
Install the blade arm to the top side of the motor with motor screws previously removed (Step 3, page 6). Tighten with Phillips screwdriver (not included). Repeat for each blade arm.
-
Remove one of the three fitter plate screws preassembled to the fitter plate and loosen the other two but do not remove. Feed the 9-pin connector through the center hole in the light pan. Align the keyhole slots in the light pan with the loosened screws in the fitter plate. Turn light pan clockwise and replace the previously removed fitter plate screw.
-
Connect the 9-pin connector from the fitter plate to the 9-pin connector from the light pan.
-
Remove one of the three light pan screws preassembled to the light pan and loosen the other two but do not remove. Then, connect the singlepin connectors from the light pan to the single-pin connectors from the light kit — blue to black and white to white.
Align the keyhole slots in the light kit with the loosened screws in the light pan. Turn light pan clockwise and replace the previously removed light pan screw. Tighten all screws.
-
Attach the glass bowl to the light kit by twisting the glass bowl firmly in a clockwise direction until it is secure.
CAUTION: Avoid cross-threading the glass during installation. Improper installation could cause the glass bowl to be difficult to remove or fall, which could cause serious injury.
-
Attach pull chain extensions to the pull chains.
Note: When facing the reverse switch, the fan pull chain is on the right and the light pull chain is on the left.
Turn ON the electrical power at the main fuse or circuit breaker and the wall switch.
Assembly is complete.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
-
Using a ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort.
In warmer weather , push the reverse switch left which will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect.
In cooler weather , push the reverse switch right which will result in upward airflow that can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area.
Important: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either completely left or right in order for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate.
-
The fan pull chain has four positions to control fan speed. One pull is HIGH, two is MEDIUM, three is LOW and four turns the fan OFF. The light pull chain has two positions — OFF and ON.

If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check the Troubleshooting section below. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please contact the Service Department: 1-877-706-3267, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Central, Monday – Friday.
| PROBLEM | SUGGESTED REMEDY |
|---|
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury,
shut off the power supply to fan before you begin any maintenance tasks.
1. Fan does not start:| 1. Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON.
2. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
3. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
4. Make sure forward/reverse switch pushed completely left or right. Fan will
not operate when switch is in the middle.
2. Fan is noisy:| 1. Make sure all screws in motor assembly are snug, but
not overtightened.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the blade arms to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against
the interior wall of the light kit.
4. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against
the interior wall of the canopy.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed
controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
6. Ensure fan does not wobble excessively (see Fan wobbles solutions below).
3. Fan wobbles:| 1. Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely to
outlet box and outlet box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
2. Ensure all blades are screwed firmly into blade arms.
3. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to motor.
4. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan
using the blade balancing kit.
5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
4. Light does not work:| 1. Check for loose or disconnected 9-pin and/or
single-pin connectors in switch housing or light kit.
2. Ensure the blue wire from fan is connected to hot power supply wire.
