Electrical and Structural Requirements

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 lbs. Figure 1 depicts
different structural confi gurations that may be used for
mounting the outlet box.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical 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.
