SAFETY INFORMATION

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not discard fan carton or foam inserts. Should this fan need to be returned to the factory for
repairs, it must be shipped in its original packaging to ensure proper protection against damage that
might exceed the initial cause for return.

• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical

Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Hire a qualified 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

floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.

• After you install the fan, make sure all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.

• The net weight of CAF48 including the light kit is: 16 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.

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the

fan, including the blades.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. (15.9 KG) 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.

When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box; do NOT use a plastic outlet
box. 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.).

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 corresponding 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.

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

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase
the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

INITIAL INSTALLATION

2.

Determine mounting method to use.
A. Downrod mount (standard or angled ceiling)
B. Closemount (standard ceiling only)
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, check to
make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.

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

Check to make sure blades (G) will be at least 30

3.
inches from any obstruction and at least 7 ft. above
the floor.
