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. 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 S afety 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) 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. (fan and accessories not to exceed 35 lbs. or 15.88 kgs.). See page 5 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. Do not suitable for use with solid-state speed controls.
7. This fan is to be used in dry and damp locations.
8. 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.

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 from floor to the blade and 18 inches from wall to the blade. If ceiling height allows, install the fan 8 - 9 feet from floor to the blade 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 70lbs 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 use (Figure 1)
A 1
2-in.-deep pancake box is meant to be screwed to a 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. WinterSeason: Reverse the motorandoperate the 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!

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 15.88 kg (35 lbs) or less. 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.
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 Assemble Your Ceiling Fan
1. Remove the hanger ball portion from the downrod/ hanger ball assembly by loosening the set screw in the hanger ball until the ball falls freely down the downrod. Remove the pin from the downrod, then remove the hanger ball. Retain the pin and hanger ball for reinstal­lation in Step 6. (Figure 1)
2. Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin from the
bottom of the downrod. Retain the pin and clip for reinstallation in Step 4. (Figure 2)

3. Loosen the two set screws and locking nuts in
the downrod support of the motor assembly. Route the black, white and blue wires through the downrod. (Figure 3)
4. Thread downrod into the downrod support on top of the motor. Install the clevis pin by aligning the holes in the downrod support with holes in the downrod. Secure clevis pin with hairpin clip. Tighten the two set screws with nuts in the downrod support. (Figure 4)
WARNING
It is critical that the clevis pin in the downrod support is properly installed and the set screws and nuts are securely tightened. Failure to do so could result in the fan falling.
5. Route wires through motor coupling cover, canopy
screw cover and ceiling canopy. (Figure 5)

6. Reinstall the hanger ball on the downrod as follows. Route the black, white and blue wires through the hanger ball. Position the pin through the two holes in the downrod and align the hanger ball so the pin is captured in the groove in the top of the hanger ball. Pull the hanger ball up tight against the pin. Securely tighten the set screw in the hanger ball. A loose set screw could create fan wobble. (Figure 6)
7. Cut off excess leadwire approximately 6 to 9 inches above top of the downrod. Strip insulation off 1/2 inch from the end of each lead wire. (Figure 7)
