GENERAL INSTALLATION & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
- To ensure the success of the installation, be sure to read the instructions and review the diagrams thoroughly before beginning.
- To avoid possible electric shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code. If you are unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualified and licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make the proper installation(s) and connections.
- WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injuries, mount fan only on an outlet box or supporting system marked acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs (15.9 kg) or less and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
- Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades should be a t least 7 feet from floor.
- Blades should be attached after motor housing is hung and in place. Fan motor housing should be kept in the carton until ready to be installed to protect its finish. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, make sure that you do not mix fan blade sets, as each blade is part of a weighted set.
- After making electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the common conductor and the grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box, and the “HOT” wires on the other side.
- Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL listed and should be installed per the light kit’s installation instructions.
- After fan is completely installed, check to make sure that all connections are secure to prevent fan from falling and/or causing damage or injury.
- The fan can be made to work immediately after installation – the bearings are adequately charged with grease so that, under normal conditions, further lubrication should not be necessary for the life of the fan.
- To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the reverse button while the fan is running.
- CAUTION: Do not ingest battery – Chemical bum hazard. Keep new and used batteries away from children.
- The remote control supplied with a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal bums in just 2 hours and can lead to death.
- If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.
- If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS:
- Disconnect power by removing fuse or turning off circuit breaker before installing the fan and/or optional lighting.
- Support directly from building structure.
- 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. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
- Do not use an incandescent light dimmer. Do not use this fan with any transformer-type fan speed control device.
- To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert any objects(s) between rotating fan blades.

Summer Mode and Winter Mode Operation
-
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage or cause injury, be sure that fan is switched to off and blades have stopped moving completely before attempting to change direction of rotation.
-
Summer Mode (forward):
A DOWNWARD airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Figure 3. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort. -
Winter Mode (Reverse):
An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 4. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.
CARE AND CLEANING
Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade-to-blade arm screws or
blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking or humming sound during
operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and
humidity ranges.
When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent bending – no
pressure should be applied to the blades. If you experience any flaws in the
operation of your fan, please check the following points.
