- All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA70-1999) and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician. 3. After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on the one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
- The splices after being made should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the outlet box.
- Conductor of a fan identified as grounded conductor to be connected to grounded conductor of power supply, conductor of a fan identified as ungrounded conductor to be connected to an ungrounded conductor of power supply, conductor of fan identified for equipment grounding to be connected to an equipment-grounding conductor.
- Fan should not be mounted in an area where it might get wet..
- 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 outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35lbs).
- For safety and best operating results, we recommend that you have a qualified electrician assemble and install your fan.
- WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
- Check downrod length to ensure blades are at least 7 feet (2.1m) above the floor.
Troubleshooting Steps
Problem A: Fan Will not Start
- Check fuse or circuit breaker and replace it if necessary

- See operation instructions.
Problem B: Fan is Excessively Noisy
- Check if all screws in fan assembly are tight and properly seated.
- Check and make sure mounting bracket is installed properly.
- Check and make sure light kit and glass are installed properly and tight.
Problem C: Fan Wobbles
- Check and make sure all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
- Check and make sure all blade holders are screwed firmly into motor.
- Check the weight of blades. All our blades are weighed on electronic scales. The weight is marked on the reverse side of the fan blade near the motor end. All of the blades should be the same weight to prevent fan from wobbling.
- Use the enclosed balancing kit if needed
Before Assembly
- Make sure that the fan voltage (120) is compatible with your own electrical system.
- Check to make sure that your carton contains all the parts mentioned in the parts list.
NOTE: The box can be used as a work space to prevent any damage on the ornamental surface.
CAUTION: Before installing, choose a location for mounting the fan where the blades have at least 7 feet of clearance from all objects and floor. Mount an outlet box to the ceiling or use an existing box
CAUTION: Do not mount fan to sheetrock or drywall type materials. To ensure proper support, use the two #1 wood screws to secure mounting bracket to joist or beam. If the location you choose does not have a suitable support beam, install a 2″x 4″ brace between ceiling joists for a proper support.
