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. The
outlet box must be securely anchored and capable of
withstanding a load of at least 35lbs. Figure 1 depicts
different structural configurations that may be used for
mounting the outlet box.
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:Reversethemotorandoperate theceiling
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 15.9 kg (35lbs). 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.
▲
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 by loosening the setscrew
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 5. (Figure 1)
2. The fan comes with blue, black, and white 80”
wires.
Separate and untwist the three wires.Route
the wires the wires through the downrod.

NOTE: You will be using either the 4.5 ˝ downrodsupplied
with your fan or an optional downrod purchased separately.
3. Loosen the two setscrews in the downrod support.
Align the clevis pin holes in the downrod with the
holes in the downrod support. Install the clevis pin
and secure with the hairpin clip. Be sure to push the
straight leg of the hairpin clip through the hole near
the end of the clevis pin until the curved portion of the
hairpin clip snaps around the clevis pin. The hairpin
clip must be properly installed to prevent the clevis
pin from working loose. Pull on the downrod to make
sure the clevis pin is properly installed. (Figure 3)
▲
WARNING
It is critical that the clevis pin in the downrod support
is properly installed and the setscrews are securely
tightened. Failure to verify that the pin and setscrews
are properly installed could result in the fan falling.
4. Route wires through motor coupling cover, canopy
screw cover and ceiling canopy with open side facing
up. (Figure 4)

5. Reinstall the hanger ball on the downrod as follows.
Route the three 80” wires and 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 setscrew in the hanger ball. A loose
setscrew could create fan wobble. (Figure 5)

(Figure 7)
Figure 5Figure 6
MAIN FUSE BOX
Figure 7
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 floor to blades. (Figure 8)
1. Securely attach the hanger bracket to the outlet box
using the outlet box screws and washers supplied with
the fan. (Figure 9)
WARNING
The outlet box must be securely anchored. Hanger
bracket must seat firmly 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.
2. 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 10)

WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
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.
1. Connect the green grounding lead from the hanger ball
and the green grounding lead from the hanger bracket to
the supply grounding conductor (this may be a bare wire
or wire with green colored insulation). Securely connect
wires with wire connectors supplied.
2. Securely connect the white fan motor wire to the white
supply (neutral) wire using wire connector supplied.
Securely connect the black fan motor wire and blue wire
to the black supply wire using wire connector supplied
(Figure 1).
3. After splicing and making the wire connections, the
wires should be spread apart and turned upward with
the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding
conductor on one side of the outlet box and the ungrounded
conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
4. Secure the ceiling canopy to the hanger bracket with
threaded rods, external lockwashers, and knurled knobs
provided (see below).

Maintenance
Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is the only
maintenance that is needed.
When cleaning, use only a soft brush or lint free cloth to
avoid scratching the finish.
Abrasive cleaning agents are not required and should be
avoided to prevent damage to finish.
Blade Cleaning
Periodic light dusting of the blades is recommended.
A feather duster will work best.
CAUTION
Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It
could damage the motor or the blades and create the
possibility of electrical shock.
Avoid using water, cleansers, or harsh rags, which can
warp and ruin the blades.
