Installation
MOUNTING OPTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury,
mount the fan to an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support using the
screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures 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 (not included) directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials (not included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lb). Do not use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the outlet box (not
included). NOTE: You may need a longer
downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped
ceiling.
The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If the canopy (B)
touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly (D), then remove the decorative
canopy bottom cover (C) and turn the canopy (B) 180° before attaching the
canopy (B) to the mounting bracket (A). To hang your fan where there is an
existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar
(not included) as shown above.

Care and Cleaning
Do
- Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
- Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the nish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.
- (Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
- (Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
Do not
- Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
- Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
The fan will not start. | • Check the main and branch circuit fuses or |
breakers.
• Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in
the switch housing.
The fan sounds noisy.| • Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
• Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the motor hub are tight.
• Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or
the interior wall of the switch housing.
• Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
• If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the light cover is secured
tightly. Check that the light bulb is properly
secured.
• Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It
should not touch the ceiling.
• Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used
between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
The fan wobbles.| • Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure
(most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts). Once the fan is properly
installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust.
If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level
using the following process:
– Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades, then
select any fan blade and measure from the center of the selected blade to the
point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned and
repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade.
Measurement deviations should be within 1/8 in.
– If all deviations are less than 1/8 in. and the fan continues to wobble,
please call Customer Service (1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order a complimentary blade
balancing kit.
– If deviation is greater than 1/8 in., please call Customer Service (1-855
-HD-HAMPTON) to order complimentary replacements of your brackets.
