Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: To avoid fire, shock and serious personal injury, follow these instructions.
1. Read your owner’s manual and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly diagrams.
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 insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
5. Do not operate reversing switch until fan blades have come to a complete stop.
6. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Additional Safety Instructions
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 and installation procedures must satisfy National Electrical Codes (ANSI/ NFPA 70-1999) and Local Codes. 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 fan base must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting at least 35 lbs. See page 6 of owner’s manual for
support requirements. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
4. The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 7 feet from the floor to prevent accidental contact with the fan blades.
5. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your ceiling fan. If you do not have adequate electrical
knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by licensed electrician.
6. This fan is to be used in wet locations.
7. For supply connections, if the conductor of a fan is identified as a grounded conductor, then it should be connected to a grounded
conductor power supply. If the conductor of a fan is identified as an ungrounded conductor, then it should be connected to an ungrounded
conductor power supply. If the conductor of a fan is identified for equipment grounding, then it should be connected to an
equipment grounding conductor.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK, THIS FAN MUST BE INSTALLED WITH A GENERAL USE ISOLATING WALL
CONTROL/SWITCH.
WARNING: This product is designed to use only those parts supplied with this product and/or accessories designated specifically for

Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely
heavily on the proper installation and use of the ceiling
fan. Here are a few tips to ensure efficient product
performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location
Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the middle
of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor and 18
inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows, install the fan
8 - 9 feet above the floor for optimal airflow. Consult your
Fanimation Retailer for optional mounting accessories.
Turn Off When Not in the Room
Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If the room is
unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.
Electrical and Structural Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 HZ, 15 Amp Circuit.
Electrical code requires use of a fan-rated outlet box to
support the extra weight and motion associated with a
ceiling fan. A fan-rated box will be labeled as such and
typically supports up to a 70lb ceiling fan. Fan-Rated
Outlet Boxes vary in ratings and design. Ensure the
ratings of your ceiling fan outlet box meet the
requirements for the ceiling fan being installed. Figure 1,
Figure 2 and Figure 3 depicts different structural
configurations that may be used for mounting the
outlet box.
Low profile box (Figure 1)
joist or block. It’s used if only one cable is coming into
the box. It is also available in a saddle-mount
configuration.
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round
Summer Season: Use the ceiling fan in the counter-
clockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling
fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you “feel” cooler.
Select a fan speed that provides a comfortable breeze,
lower speeds consume less energy.
Winter Season: Reverse the motor and operatethe ceiling
fan at low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces
a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling
down into the occupied space.Remember to adjust your
thermostat when using your ceiling fan - additional energy
and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!

Paired with a deep box, this hanger is meant to span

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount to outlet box marked acceptable for fan
support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or less and use mounting
screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes
commonly used for the support of luminaires are not
acceptable for fan support and may need to be
replaced, consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
If your fan is to replace an existing light fixture, turn
electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and
remove the existing light fixture.
WARNING
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.

How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan
WARNING
The fan must be hung with at least 7´ of clearance from
floor to blades. (Figure 1)
WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before hanging.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
WARNING
It is critical that the outlet box and the screws are
securely anchored to the building structure and capable
of withstanding a load of at least 35 lbs. Failure to verify
that the screws are properly installed could result in the
fan falling. (Figure 2)
1. Securely attach the ceiling junction box acceptable
for ceiling support into the building structure. Junction
box is not supplied with the fan. (Figure 2)
