To begin with, the site of installation must be clear of any obstructions. Walls, cabinet or cupboard doors,
and AC/heating vents (strong air currents will cause fan to wobble ) are common obstructions.
Also, you will need a securely mounted outlet box that is listed for fan support. You may also mount fan
directly to a ceiling joist, but you must use a Ceiling Fan Swag Kit to provide power.
The only tools you will need are : A medium Phillips screwdriver, common sense, and a little caution.
