MOUNTING OPTIONS

Three Mounting Options

Choose one of the following mounting options:

• Closemount method is best suited for ceilings lower than 8 feet. It does not utilize the downrod.
• Downrod Mount is best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer downrod (not included).
• Angled Ceiling Mount is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance from the ceiling. If using the angle mount, check to ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 10°.

   • LED indicator should illuminate when any remote button is pressed. If not, replace the DC3V, CR2032 batteries.

2. LEARN – Syncs remote to receiver (see TROUBLESHOOTING for instructions).
   Note: To access LEARN button, remove battery door from back of the remote using a flat-head screwdriver.

3. 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 down which will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect.
   • In cooler weather, push the reverse switch up 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 up or down in order for the fan to function correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, the fan will not operate.

4. 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 turns the light ON and OFF.
   Important: Remember, if using the remote, do not change fan speed or turn off light. To operate the fan using the remote, set fan speed to high and to turn the light (if applicable) on.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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:
2. Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON.
3. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
4. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
5. Make sure forward/reverse switch pushed completely up or down. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
6. Fan is noisy:
7. Make sure all screws in motor assembly are snug, but not overtightened.
8. Make sure the screws that attach the blade arms to the motor are tight.
9. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
10. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the canopy.
11. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
12. Ensure fan does not wobble excessively (see Fan wobbles solutions below).
13. Fan wobbles:
14. Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely to outlet box and outlet box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
15. Ensure all blades are screwed firmly into blade arms.
16. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to motor.
17. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using the blade balancing kit.
18. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
19. Light does not work:
20. Check for loose or disconnected 9-pin and/or single-pin connectors in switch housing or light kit.
21. Ensure the blue wire from fan is connected to hot power supply wire.
22. Check for faulty light bulbs.
23. Ensure total wattage of bulbs does not exceed 180 watts (for incandescent bulbs only).
24. Remote control does not work:
25. To re-sync wall control to the fan – Switch the power to the fan off and back on again. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the HIGH SPEED and LOW SPEED buttons (or the “LEARN” button, located in the battery compartment) for 5 seconds. Fan will turn on at low speed and light off. This confirms the syncing process is successful.
26. Insert new CR2032 batteries in battery compartment of the wall control.
27. If there are several fans in close proximity, turn power off to other fans and re-sync the remote (see Corrective Action 1 above).
