SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.

• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit
breakers.

• Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National
ElectricalCode,andANSI/NFPA70-199.Hireaqualiedelectricianorconsultado-it-yourself

wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.

• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to
theoorandatleast30in.fromtheendofthebladestoanyobstruction.

• The net weight of this fan is: 12.32 lbs.

DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to

the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious
injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan
after installation is complete.

DANGER: If using the fan in a wet location, the fan must be connected to a supply circuit that is
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce the risk of personal injury, electrical
shock or death.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan

parts with sharp edges.

WARNING: Toreducetheriskofre,electricshockorpersonalinjury,mountthefantoan

outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use the mounting screws provided with

theoutletbox.Mostoutletboxescommonlyusedforthesupportoflightingxturesarenotacceptable
forfansupportandmayneedtobereplaced.Consultaqualiedelectricianifindoubt.Securethe

outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the
moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do NOT use a plastic outlet box.

WARNING: Toreducetheriskofre,electricalshock,orpersonalinjury,wireconnectors

provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from
the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12 gauges or there is more than one house wire to connect
to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

WARNING: Toreducetheriskofreorelectricshock,donotusethefanwithanysolid-state

speed-control device or control the fan speed with a full-range dimmer switch.

WARNING: Toreducetheriskofre,electricshock,orpersonalinjury,donotbendtheblade

arms when installing them, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between
the rotating fan blades.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use

of parts OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.

INITIAL INSTALLATION

1. Turn off the circuit breakers and the wall switch to the

fan supply line leads.

DANGER: Failure to disconnect the power

supply prior to installation may result in serious injury
or death.

2. Determine the mounting method to use.

Helpful Hint: Downrod mounting is best suited for
ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may
want to use a longer downrod (not included). Angle
mounting is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings.
A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure
proper blade clearance.

Note: Flushmount installation is not available for this

item.

Important: If using the angle mount, check to ensure

the ceiling angle is not steeper than 23°.

3. Ensure the blades (I) will be at least 30 in. from any

obstructions. Also check the downrod (A) length to
ensure the blades (I) will be at least 7 ft. above the

oor.
