B. Angle mount
Important: If using the angle mount, check to make sure the
ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.

A

3. Check to make sure blades (J) are at least 30 in. from any
obstruction. Check downrod (A) length to ensure blades (J) are at
least 7 ft. above the floor. [Fig. 3]

4. Secure mounting bracket (C) to outlet box using screws, spring
washers, and flat washers provided with the outlet box. [Fig. 4]
