Read and Save These Safety Precautions

What You Have

1. Turn off electricity at main switch before wiring or servicing fan in order to avoid
possible electrical shock.

2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA
70-1999) and local electrical codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a
qualified licensed electrician.

3. After making the wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the
grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on the one side of the
outlet box and the ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.

4. The splices after being made should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into
the outlet box.

5. Conductor of a fan identified as grounded conductor to be connected to grounded
conductor of power supply, conductor of a fan identified as ungrounded conductor
to be connected to an ungrounded conductor of power supply, conductor of fan
identified for equipment grounding to be connected to an equipment-grounding
conductor.

6. Fan should not be mounted in an area where it might get wet.

7. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to outlet box
marked "Acceptable for Fan Support" and use mounting screws provide with the
outlet box.

8. For safety and best operating results, we recommend that you have a qualified
electrician assemble and install your fan.

9. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with
any solid state speed control device.

10. To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade brackets when installing

1. Make sure that the fan voltage (120) is compatible with your own electrical system.

2. Check to make sure that your carton contains all the parts mentioned in the parts
list.

NOTE: When the motor is taken out of carton, please put it in a soft cloth to prevent
any damage on the ornamental surface.

CAUTION: Before installing, choose a location for mounting the fan where the blades
have at least 7 feet of clearance from all objects and floor. Mount an outlet box to the
ceiling or use an existing box.

CAUTION: Do not mount fan to sheet rock or drywall type materials. To insure proper
support, use the two #1 wood screws to secure mounting bracket to joist or beam. If the
location you choose does not have a suitable support beam, install a 2”X4” brace between
ceiling joists to support.

Preparation

Important: When using an existing outlet box, be sure the box is securely
attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

Step 1

1

Turn off circuit breakers and wall switch to the fan
supply line leads.

4

Step 4

Prior to securing mounting bracket, screw "J" hook (S10) into ceiling outlet
box as a secondary support means. Secure mounting bracket (#1) to the
outlet box (A) by tightening bracket screws & washers (S3) as shown. If not
mounting to an outlet box, use wood screws (S1) and washers (S3) and
mount securely to ceiling beam. Be sure at this point to insert canopy

screws (S2) in bracket. NOTE: Do not mount directly to sheet rock or ceiling tile.

NOTE: J Hook installation is a Canadian requirement only.

Warning: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to

installation may result in serious injury or death. To
reduce the risk of shock, this fan must be installed with
an isolating wall control/switch.

Step 2

2

Determine mounting method to use.
A. Downrod Mount
B. Angle Mount

Craftmade Part #45AD (see dealer)

IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount
method, check to make sure the ceiling
angle is not steeper than 35°. Angles greater
than 35° will require a 45° angle adapter.

3

Check to make sure blades are
at least 30” from any
obstruction. Check downrod
length to ensure blades are at
least 7' above the floor.

CAUTION:

Do not mount fan to sheet rock or

proper support use the two #1 wood
screws to secure mounting bracket to
joist or beam, if the location you
have chosen does not have a suitable
support beam, install a 2" x 4" brace
between ceiling joists to support fan,
or one of the many NEC and UL
approved ceiling fan braces.

WARNING:

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.

distributor assembly. Insert safety bolt (S10) through distributor assembly
and downrod and attach nut. Tighten firmly. Tighten set screw "A"
against downrod. Place distributor cover (#8a) over support arm
distributor (#8). Next place canopy (#3) over downrod assembly (#2).

5 Blade Installation

Step 13

13

For blade assembly, position blade holder (#6), blade (#5) and blade
ornaments (#10) so that all screw holes are aligned (as shown in figure
below). Using blade screws (S5), insert through top of blade holder,
through blade, and into blade ornament. Tighten securely.

CAUTION: Install blade holders to motor only after motor installation is
complete. This will prevent damage to the blade holders which have been
carefully balanced. IMPORTANT: Remove rubber cushions, saving motor screws
for installation.

15

Step 15

1. To install the Switch Housing Assembly (#9), locate both modular
wiring plugs (A) and (B). One extends from the mounting plate (E) on
bottom of fan body and one extends from the Switch Housing (#9). Align
the two plugs so the latch on the side of the plugs will engage when
pushed together. Push the two plugs firmly together until latched.

2. Loosen 2 of the 3 screws (F) on mounting plate. Completely remove
one of the screws. Raise switch housing (#9) and align the mounting slots
(D) in the switch housing with the mounting screws (F) on the mounting
plate on bottom of fan body. Rotate the switch housing to the right until
the two screws are completely seated into mounting slots. Replace screw
that was removed. Tighten the three mounting screws securely.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that no wires are caught in mounting slots or pinched between

switch housing and mounting plate.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of personal injury, DO NOT bend the blade arms when
installing them. When balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan, do not insert
foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.

Motor Pull Chain

Slide Switch

Uplights Pull Chain

1. The sequence of operation for the motor pull/chain switch is
OFF-HI-MED-LOW.

2. Push the slide switch RIGHT for FORWARD, and LEFT for
REVERSE action of the blades.

3. The pull chain switch for the uplights and side body lighting in the
body of the fan is two positions - ON/OFF.

4. The Fresco (FR52) and Constantina (CT52) has a four-way switch:

OFF-UPLIGHTS-SIDE BODY-BOTH.

Operation Instructions

CAUTION

Even if your fan is mounted with the blades more than 7 feet from the floor, be
careful to avoid placing your raised arms or any object in the path of the blades.

Electrical Connections

Electrical Connections Continued…

Connect black and blue (if provided) fan wires to black outlet wire.
Connect white fan wire to white outlet wire and green grounding lead
wire from the grounding conductor to the supply circuit (see figure A).
Use wire connectors provided with your fan. No loose strands or loose
connections should be present. After wires have been connected, they
must be spread apart so the green and white are on one side of the outlet
box and the black and blue are on the other side. Turn splices upward
and carefully push all wiring into outlet box. For optional wall control see
figure B or Figure C for alternate wiring. When wall switches are
employed, switches should be UL listed
for use with ceiling fan.

NOTE: Make sure fan on/off switch is always at "high speed" location if your fan is
controlled by additional wall switch.
