Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely
heavily on theproperinstallation 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.
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 motor and operate 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!
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 usage diagram idea (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.

Electrical and Structural Requirements (Continued)
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.
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 an d
Local codes and the ceiling fan must be properly
grounded as a precaution against possible electrical
shock.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marke d
acceptable for fan support of 15.88 kg (35 lbs) or less.
Use screws supplied with outlet box. Most outle t
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.
WARNING
No blocking (Figure 3)
Paired with a deep box, this hanger is meant to span
between two joists and takes the place of wooden
blocking.
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.

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)

3. Loosen the two set screws in the downrod support
of the motor assembly. Route the black, white and
safety cable wires through the downrod. (Figure 3)
4. Slide 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.
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)

7. Cut off excess lead wire approximately 6 to 9 inches
above top of the top of the downrod. Strip insulation off
1/2 inch from the end of each lead wire. (Figure 7)
NOTE:
All set screws must be checked, and retightened
where necessary, before installation.
6. Reinstall the hanger ball on the downrod as follows.
Route the two 80 in. wires and safety cable 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)

How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advise, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
WARNING
The fan must be hung with at least 7’ of clearance
from ƀoor to blades. (Figure 2)
WARNING
To avoid possible ſre or shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before hanging.
(Figure 1)
1. Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet box
using the outlet box screws and washers supplied with
the outlet box. (Figure 3)
2. Drill a ¼” pilot hole into the building structure to
prevent splitting or cracking with installation of the lag
bolt. Using the
” x 2” lag bolt and flat washer, attach
safety cable to ceiling joist or wood structural member.
The lag bolt will pass through the flat washer, safety
cable loop, and into the building structure. (Figure 3)
NOTE: Ceiling support cable cannot be secured to
junction box only, it must be directly secured to ceiling
joist or structural member using the
” x 2” lag bolt
CPFƀCVYCUJGT(KIWTG
3. Make sure the electrical supply wires, including
the hanger bracket grounding wire and safety cable
are pulled through the downrod, between the hanger
bracket and the junction box so that electrical
connections can be made later.

WARNING
The outlet box must be securely anchored. Hanger
bracket must seat ſrmly against outlet box. If the
outlet box is recessed, remove wall board until bracket
contacts box. If bracket and /or outlet box are not
securely attached, the fan could wobble or fall.
4. Carefully lift the fan and seat the downrod/hanger ball
assembly on the hanger bracket that was just attached to
the outlet box. Be sure the groove in the ball is lined up
with tab on the hanger bracket (Figure 4)
WARNING
Failure to seat tab in groove coul d cause damag e to
electrical wires and possible shock or ſre hazard.
WARNING
To avoid possible shock, do not pinch wires between
the hanger ball assembly and the hanger bracket.
5. Attach the safety cable to ceiling support cable. Slide
cable clamp and washer onto safety cable (from fan).
Place the end of cable through the loop of ceiling support
cable. Pull as much cable through loop as possible. Feed
end of cable into clamp hole and firmly tighten screw
(Figure 4).
