PACKAGE CONTENTS

DUAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
This ceiling fan is supplied with two types of hanging assemblies: the standard ceiling installation using the downrod with ball and socket mounting, and the “close-to-ceiling” mounting. The “close-to-ceiling” mounting is recommended in rooms with less than 8 ft. ceilings or in areas where additional space is desired from the floor to the fan blades.

When using the standard downrod installation, the distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be approximately 12 in. The “close-to- ceiling” installation reduces the distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to approximately 9 in.

Once you have decided which ceiling installation you will use, refer to the corresponding sections and procedures during the assembly period. Where necessary, each section of the instructions will note the different procedures to follow for the two types of installation.

Standard Ceiling Mounting

Close-to-Ceiling Mounting

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 (NN) (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 three different ways to mount the outlet box (NN) (not included).

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If the canopy (C) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly (E), then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (D) and turn the canopy (C) 180° before attaching the canopy (C) to the mounting bracket (A).

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