SAFETY TIPS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit panel before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
   CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.

2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colours than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.

3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimetres) from walls or other upright structures.

4. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35 pounds (16 kilograms). The box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.”
   WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lb) or less,” and use the 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.
   WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12 gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12 gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
   WARNING: If using this fan in a DAMP location, this fan must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death.

5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL general-use switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.

6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.

7. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on opposite sides of the outlet box.
   WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and fire and to prevent humming noise do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device or control fan speed with a full-range dimmer switch. [Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from the fan.] (Note: This fan is suitable for use with remote control approved for DAMP locations.)

8. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop.

9. Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
   WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after installation. Do not insert objects into the path of the blades.
   WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.

10. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

Installation Preparation

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that the hanging location allows the blades a clearance of 7ft. (2.13m) from the floor and 30in. (76cm) from any wall or obstruction. This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 400 square feet (37.2 square meters).
This fan can be mounted with a downrod on a regular (no-slope) or vaulted ceiling. The hanging length can be extended by purchasing a longer downrod (0.5in./1.27cm diameter). Other installation, such as a flush mount, is not available for this fan.
Installation requires these tools
Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, adjustable pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire cutters, and rated electrical tape.

Hanging Bracket Installation

Turn off circuit breakers to the current fixture from the breaker panel and be sure the operating light switch is turned to the OFF position.
WARNING: Failure to disconnect the power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury. Remove the existing fixture.
WARNING: When using an existing outlet box, be sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Ensure the outlet box is clearly marked “Suitable for Fan Support.” If not, it must be replaced with an approved outlet box. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is grounded and that a ground wire (GREEN or bare) is present. Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original screws, spring washers and flat washers provided with new or original outlet box.* If installing on a vaulted ceiling, face opening of hanging bracket towards the high point of ceiling. Arrange electrical wiring around the back of the hanging bracket and away from the bracket opening.
*Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware when installing the hanging bracket as this will support the fan.

Fan Assembly

• If you wish to extend the hanging length of your fan, you must remove the hanging ball from the 6in. downrod provided to use with an extended downrod (sold separately). [If you wish to use the 6in. downrod, please proceed to instructions following the dotted line below.]
• To remove the hanging ball, loosen the set screw on the hanging ball, lower the hanging ball and remove the stop pin. Slide the hanging ball off the original downrod, A, and slide it down the longer downrod, B (the top of the downrod should be noted as having a set screw hole; use this hole when setting the set screw). Insert the stop pin into the top of the extended downrod and raise hanging ball. Be sure the stop pin aligns with the slots on the inside of the hanging ball. Tighten the set screw securely.

Tip: To prepare for threading electrical wires through the downrod, apply a small piece of electrical tape to the ends of the electrical wires–this will keep the wires together when threading them through the downrod.

• Loosen the yoke set screws and nuts and remove the pin and clip at the top of the motor housing. Slide downrod through the canopy and yoke cover.
• Thread electrical wires through the downrod and pull extra wire slack from the upper end of the downrod.
• Thread downrod into the motor yoke until holes for pin and clip in downrod align with holes in yoke–make sure wires do not get twisted. Re-insert pin and clip. Tighten yoke set screws and nuts securely. Lower yoke cover to the motor housing.

NOTE: The important safety precautions and instructions appearing in the manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense and caution are necessary factors in the installation and operation of this fan.

With the hanging bracket secured to the outlet box and able to support the fan, you are now ready to hang your fan. Grab the fan firmly with two hands.
Slide downrod through an opening in the hanging bracket and let the hanging ball rest on the hanging bracket. Turn the hanging ball slot until it lines up with the hanging bracket tab.
WARNING: Failure to align the slot in the hanging ball with the tab in the hanging bracket may result in serious injury or death.
Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the stepladder in place and lift the fan up to you once you are set on the ladder.

Wiring

CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (GREEN or Bare) is present.
Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances and the National Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colours than those referred to in the diagram to the right, please use a qualified electrician.
WARNING: If using this fan in a DAMP location, this fan must be connected to a supply circuit that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical shock or death.
When the downrod is secured in place on the hanging bracket, wire the RECEIVER with the wire connectors provided as shown in the diagram at right.
Tip: While you are wiring, keep in mind that wires must not obstruct the receiver from sliding into the hanging bracket.

• Wrap each wire connector separately with electrical tape as an extra safety measure.
  Gently insert the receiver (flat side up) into the hanging bracket and carefully push taped wire connectors into the outlet box. Allow the antenna from the remote control receiver to hang outside of the hanging bracket.

Securely tighten all screws.

Note: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.

Remote Control Operation

Activating Code

CAUTION: The remote control transmitter can be programmed to multiple receivers or fans. If this is not desired, turn the wall switch off to any other programmable receiver or fan.
This remote control transmitter is equipped with 16 code combinations to prevent possible interference from or to other remote units such as garage door openers, car alarms or security systems. If you find that your fan goes on and off without using your remote control, simply change the combination code in your remote control transmitter (and wall control).

To set the code, perform these steps

• Remove the battery cover from the back side of the transmitter.
• Use a ballpoint pen or a small screwdriver to set the code switches 1 through 4 for the transmitter.
• Use the same number sequence used when wiring the wall control in Section 6.
• Note: Since this fan comes without a light kit, set the dimmer switch (labelled “D” and “X”) in the “OFF” position (X).
• Install one 12-volt battery (sold separately) in the transmitter and then replace the battery cover.
• Restore electrical power. Within 30 seconds after restoring the power, press and hold the OFF button on the front of the transmitter for 5 seconds. Proceed to Section 12 to verify that the automated learning process is complete.

Wall Control Operation

• ON/OFF slider switch – turns wall control ON or OFF
• HI button – turns fan to HIGH speed
• MED button – turns fan to MEDIUM speed
• LOW button – turns fan to LOW speed
• FAN OFF button – turns fan OFF
• The LIGHT button – (for use with optional light kit, sold separately) turns the light ON/OFF when pressed once; dims light when pressed and held down

Troubleshooting

• H button – turns fan to HIGH speed.
• M button – turns fan to MEDIUM speed.
• L button – turns fan to LOW speed.
• OFF button – turns fan OFF

button – (for use with optional light kit, sold separately) controls light function: turns light on/off when tapped quickly. Pressing and holding button down for more than 0.7 seconds converts it into dimmer. Auto resume capability keeps light at same brightness level as the last time it was turned off.

Testing Your Fan

• It is recommended that you test fan before finalizing installation.

• Restore power from circuit box and light switch (if applicable).

• Locate ON/OFF slider switch on wall control and set to the ON position.

• Test fan speeds. Next, locate remote control.

• Test fan speeds with the different fan speed buttons (diagram 1).

• If the remote control operates all of the functions of the fan, battery has been installed correctly.

• If the wall and/or remote control do (does) not operate all of the fan functions, refer to “Troubleshooting” section to solve any issues before contacting Customer Service.
  Turn fan completely off before moving the reverse switch (located on top of motor housing). Set reverse switch to recirculate air depending on the season:

  • LEFT position in summer (diagram 2)
  • RIGHT position in winter (diagram 3)

• 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.

• Important: Reverse switch must be set either completely to the LEFT or completely to the RIGHT for fan to function. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position (diagram 4), fan will not operate.

NOTE: If the remote control interferes with other appliances, change code switches on the remote control transmitter and wall control to another code. If you do change the code, turn power off first and remove the battery cover. After setting the new code on the transmitter AND the wall control, go back to the instructions in the last two paragraphs of Section 9.
