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 this fan including the light kit is: 18.73 lbs.

DANGER

When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box; do NOT use a
plastic outlet box. Make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can

support the full weight of the fan. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the

moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.). 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.

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.

CAUTION

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

Before beginning installation, carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to
ensure they are secure.

*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
