- All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code “ANSI/ NFPA 70” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a licensed electrician.
- To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury or damage to the fan or other items, the outlet box, and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 Ibs (15.9 kg). Use only UL/cUL listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT.” Use only the screws and washers provided with the outlet box.

Controlling Multiple Fans with Remote or Wall Controls
Your remote and wall controls are capable of controlling multiple fans. A
remote or wall control has the ability to control an unlimited number of fans
with the only limitation being the Bluetooth® range of the control and fans
you want to have on the same controller. Power down the target fans circuit
for 30 seconds and then turn it back on. Hold the fan and light button for
10-15 seconds until you hear an audible beep from each fan.
NOTE: Fans you do not wish to have on the same controller should remain
powered down or wait for the 3-minute pairing window to close for that
specific fan.
Pairing a remote control or wall control to an additional fan(s) can be
performed in the same manner as described in the pairing section.
NOTE: Pairing must be completed within three (3) minutes of powering the
fan.
S ynchronizing Control Across Multiple Fans
If you are controlling more than one fan with remote control, there is a
possibility that their light state, fan state, or fan direction can get out of
sync. To bring the fans/lights back into sync please follow the instructions
on the next page.
Fan On/Off: Press and hold the button for 4 seconds. The LED on the
remote will flash green and all connected fans will beep to indicate the
message has been received. All fans will turn off. This will bring all fans
controlled by the remote into sync.
Light On/Off: Press and hold the button for 4 seconds. The LED on the
remote will flash green and all connected fans will beep to indicate the
message has been received. All lights will turn off. This will bring all fans
controlled by the remote into sync.
Fan Direction: Press and hold the button for 4 seconds. The LED on the
remote will flash green and all connected fans will beep to indicate the
message has been received. All fans will be set to summer mode (CCW rotation).
This will bring all fans controlled by the remote into sync.
FACTORY RESET
NOTE: If you change your Wi-Fi settings (SSID or Security Passphrase you
will need to perform a Wi-Fi reset on the fan by holding down the fan speed up
and fan speed down buttons on the remote control for 10 seconds. The light on
the remote will flash green and the fan will sound two long beeps. You can
then use the Modern Forms Fans app to connect your fan to the new network.

TROUBLESHOOTING
My Fan Will Not Start
- Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
- Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in the switch housings.
WARNING: Make sure the main power is turned off!
My Fan is Noisy
- Allow for a 24-hour break-in period. Most noises associated with a new fan will go away during this time period.
- Check to make sure the screws attached to the blades (and blade arms when applicable) are tight.
- Check to make sure all screws in the motor housing are snug.
- Make sure the light cover is tightened and/or glass is snug.
- Tighten the hanger bracket screws and make sure the outlet box is secured.
- Your wire connectors may be rattling against the fan’s canopy.
- Make sure you have a cUL/UL-approved outlet box and it is installed correctly.
My Fan is Wobbling
- Make sure the fan blades are properly aligned and securely fastened to the motor housing assembly/blade arms
- Make sure the gaps between the blades are evenly distributed.
- Make sure you are using an approved cUL/UL listed outlet box and it is installed correctly
My remote or wall control is not controlling my fan
Verify that the fan is receiving power by power cycling the fan.
To do this:
- Cut power to the fan via standard On/Off wall switch, or the breaker if the standard wall switch is not applicable.
- Wait at least 10 seconds, and then restore power.
- The fan will power on in Pairing mode for 3 minutes.
- Press and hold (ICON) and (ICON) buttons on wall control for 10-15 seconds.
- When the LED indicator remains solid green, and three (2) audible beeps are heard, the pairing process is complete.
My home Wi-Fi network is not showing up in the app’s list during setup.
- Your fan supports connection with 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n networks. Confirm your network is compatible by checking your router settings or contact your router manufacturer.
- Make sure your network’s SSID is not hidden.
- Your fan does not support 5 GHz network connectivity.
My Fan failed to join the Wi-Fi network
Make sure you entered the correct Wi-Fi password and your mobile device is
connected to the same network you attempted to connect the fan.
Make sure you are within the router manufacturer’s specified range. If all of
these steps have failed – please power cycle your fan and router and retry.
What is power cycling and how do I power cycle my fan?
Power cycling is the act of temporarily removing the power source for your
fan. If the fan is powered through a wall switch, turn the switch off for 10
seconds and back on. Alternately, you can use the circuit breaker the fan is
connected to by toggling it off for 10 seconds and back on. If your fan is
wired through a WAC wall control (P/N: WC20-WT) pull the Air-Gap Switch on
your wall control, wait 10 seconds, and re-insert.
What is Adaptive Learning?
Adaptive learning is an exclusive feature that allows your fan to learn your
daily/weekly habits and automatically recommend scheduled activity through the
Modern Forms app. This feature can be toggled on or off.
What is Breeze Mode?
Breeze Mode mimics the natural ebb and flow of winds in nature by fluctuating
your fan’s speed.
What is Pairing?
Pairing is the process of connecting your WAC remote or wall control to your
fan. Your fan comes pre-paired to your included remote control.
However, if you want additional controls for your fan or if you’re replacing a
control, refer to the pairing and unpairing section of the instructions.
What is a Factory Reset?
Factory Reset is a restore of the fan’s original settings. This can be
achieved from the control or by pressing and holding the small button on the
receiver until you hear three audible beeps or by holding down the fan toggle,
light toggle, and season toggle buttons on your paired remote or wall control
for 10 seconds. NOTE: You will need to repair your remote or wall controls to
the fan following a factory reset. A factory reset will also disconnect the
fan from your home Wi-Fi network and will require you to add the fan using the
WAC Smart Fans app.
Please refer to the FAQ section of our app for further guidance. For all
other questions, please contact our dedicated Fan Support specialists. Contact
information can be found at the front of the instructions.
