WARNING

WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, and serious personal injury, follow these instructions.

Safety Instructions

1. Read your owner’s manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

3. Be careful of the fan and blades when cleaning, painting, or working near the fan. Always turn off the power to the ceiling fan before servicing.

4. Do not put anything into the fan blades while they are turning.

5. Do not operate reversing switch until fan blades have come to a complete stop.

Additional Safety Instructions for Installation

1. To avoid possible shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the fuse box before wiring, and do not operate fan without blades.

2. All wiring must satisfy National and Local Electrical Codes. Use the National Electrical Code if Local Codes do not exist. The ceiling fan must be grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock. Electrical installation should be made or approved by a licensed electrician.

3. The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting at least 50 pounds. Use only U.L. outlet boxes listed as acceptable for fan support, and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

4. The 4-1/2” downrod furnished with the fan provides the minimum recommended floor to fan blade clearance for an 8 foot ceiling. The 18” downrod furnished with the fan must be used with a 9 foot (minimum) ceiling or a cathedral ceiling. The 18” downrod must be installed when using the decorative rods.

5. The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 7 feet from the floor to prevent accidental contact with the fan blades.

6. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your ceiling fan. If you do not know enough about electrical wiring, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.

IMPORTANT

This Owner’s Manual is divided into two sections. The first section, REMOTE CONTROL PROCEDURES, describes how to install the 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) in the remote control transmitter, and how to set the operating frequency of the transmitter and receiver. These instructions must be performed prior to installation of the ceiling fan as described in the second section, CEILING FAN PROCEDURES.

REMOTE CONTROL

PROCEDURES

General

The remote control supplied with your Emerson ceiling fan consists of a hand-held transmitter and a receiver which is mounted in the switch housing. The remote control is designed to separately control your ceiling fan and light intensities. There are four push buttons (HI, MED, LOW, OFF) to set the fan speed and turn the fan off. The REV push button changes the airflow direction of the fan blades. The U/L (uplight) and D/L (downlight) pushbuttons turn the

lights on and off and control the light intensities. The red indicator light will illuminate while any button is pressed, indicating that the battery is good.

The remote control transmitter is powered by a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included). To prevent possible damage if the battery should leak, be sure to remove the battery when the control is not to be used for an extended period of time.

Code switches in the transmitter and receiver may be set in 16 different positions. If your fan and light go on and off without using your control, you may be getting interference from other remote units such as garage door openers, car alarms or security systems. To remedy this situation, simply change the combination code in your transmitter and receiver.

Preset Memory Feature

Your Emerson remote control receiver is equipped with a preset memory feature. If the electrical supply to the receiver is controlled through a wall switch, when the switch is turned off, the control will remember the light intensities and fan speed. When the switch is turned back on, the lights and fan will resume operation as they were prior to the switch being turned off.

Installation of Battery

1. Remove the battery cover by pressing firmly below the arrow and sliding the cover off the control (Figure 1).

2. Remove the connector from the battery compartment and attach it to the 9-volt alkaline battery (not included).

Electrical Requirements

If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling light fixture, turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove the existing light fixture.

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.

The outlet box must be securely anchored and capable of withstanding a load of at least 50 pounds.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marked acceptable for fan support, and use screws supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions carefully. Any electrical work not described in these instructions should be done or approved by a licensed electrician.

Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must be in accordance with National and Local codes and the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock.
