WARNING: Read and follow these instructions carefully and be mindful of all warnings shown throughout.

GENERAL INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before beginning.
2. To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualified and licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make the proper installation(s) and connections.
3. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or another personal injury, mount fan only on an outlet box or supporting system marked acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
4. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades should be at least 7 feet from floor.
5. Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you do not mix fan blade sets, as each blade is part of a weighted set.
6. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box, and the “HOT” wires on the other side.
7. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should be installed per the light kit’s installation instructions.
8. After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling and / or causing damage or injury.
9. The fan can be made to work immediately after installation – the bearings are adequately charged with grease so that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.
10. To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the reverse button while the fan is running.
11. CAUTION: Do not ingest battery – Chemical bum hazard. Keep new and used batteries away from children.
12. The remote control is supplied with a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal bums in just 2 hours and can lead to death.
13. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.
14. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS

• Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off the circuit breaker before installing the fan and/or optional lighting.

Summer Mode and Winter Mode Operation

Summer Mode (forward): A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 3. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
Winter Mode (Reverse): An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 4. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.

CARE AND CLEANING

Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking or humming sound during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges. When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending – no pressure should be applied to the blades. If you experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Switch off power supply before carrying out any of these checks.

PROBLEM / SOLUTION

FAN WILL NOT START

1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check wall control LED indicator light. If LED is not illuminated when pushing a button, it is not transmitting a signal. Please check power to wall control/circuit breaker and all electrical connections.
3. Assure there are no more than 2 fans operating on a circuit through the wall control. Assure that there are no more than 12 fans operating on a circuit through an on/off wall switch or a breaker (not through a wall control).
4. Assure that the fan in within range of the WiFi (150 ft.) or wall control (30 ft.).

FAN SOUNDS NOISY

1. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noise associated with a new fan will disappear during this time.
2. Make sure all motor housing screws are securely fastened.
3. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the fan are tight.
4. Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.

FAN WOBBLES

1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
3. Check to assure all dow rods to motor hardware and/or hanger ball are tight.
4. Make sure the ceiling box is secure.
