USING YOUR CEILING FAN

Your new ceiling fan is UL listed and will require a grounded

electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.

The 52" total fan weight is 26 lbs maximum.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or

personal injury, mount fan at least 7 feet above the floor to

an outlet box marked “Acceptable for fan support.” Use

screws provided with 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.

Your ceiling fan will fit any of the following electrical boxes:

4" octagon box, 3" octagon box, 1/2" deep ceiling pan, or a

plaster ring with 3 1/2" mounting hole centers mounted on

one of the above listed boxes. Your new fan will also install

on a “wiremold” No. 5738 fixture box. The electrical box must

be securely anchored an capable of withstanding a load of at

least 50 pounds.

If your ceiling fan does not have one of the above electrical

boxes for proper wiring, you may wish to contact a licensed

electrician for installation.
