SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS

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 (35 LBS) OR LESS" and use
mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the
support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.
Consult a qualified 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.

To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with
sharp edges.

To reduce the risk of fire, 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 gauge 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.

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the fan with any solid state speed
control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical 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.

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.

CAUTIONS

Before proceeding, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid
electrical shock.

Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the
accompanying assembly diagrams.

PREPARATION

Before beginning assembly and installation of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare

parts with package contents list and hardware contents above. If any part is missing or
damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.

Estimated Assembly Time: 120 minutes

Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Electrical Tape, Phillips Screwdriver, Pliers, Safety
Glasses, Stepladder and Wire Strippers

Helpful Tools (not included): AC Tester Light, Tape Measure, Do-It-Yourself-Wiring Handbook
(available at Lowe’s), and Wire Cutters

Bulbs Required (included): 3 candelabra base 40-watt max. bulbs

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.

CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is
present.

After opening top of carton, remove mounting hardware package from foam inserts. Remove motor
from packing and place on carpet or on foam to avoid damage to finish.

CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to ensure that they
are secured. All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary, before installation.
