Installation
MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to an outlet box marked “Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg) or less,” and use the screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting fixture 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 directly to the building structure. Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. 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.
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 20° away from horizontal.
If the Canopy (C) touches the ball/downrod assembly (B), then remove the Canopy bottom cover (D) and turn the Canopy (C) 180° before attaching the Canopy (C) to the mounting plate.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above (available at any Home Depot store).

2. To pair the remote control:
NOTE : After the AC power is on, do not press any other button on the remote control before pressing the ” ” button. Otherwise the procedure will fail.
NOTE : The remote control can pair with multiple receivers. Make sure no other receivers are operating during the learning process. Separate the fan power switches by approximately 7 meters.
Should you desire to use another remote control unit with your new fan, install one using the steps below:
♦ Turn the main power source off to begin the pairing process.
♦ Press and hold the button to enter the learning function.
♦ Return the power to the unit, keep holding the button.

detected the set frequency, the down light of your fan, if applicable, will
blink twice. Please repeat the above steps if there is no indication after 15
seconds.
♦ A receiver can remember up to three remote controls. If a fourth is used,
the first would be deleted.

Care and Cleaning
WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.
♦ Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose.
Check the support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. It is not necessary to
remove the fan from the ceiling.
♦ Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the
years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage
the motor or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft
brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is sealed
with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
♦ You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional
protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application
of shoe polish.
♦ You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed
ball bearings.
