SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

WARNING

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

Risk of Fire and Electric Shock: Do not repair or service this light kit. The light source is designed

for this specific application and can overheat if serviced by untrained personnel. If any servicing is
required, call our customer service department (at 1-800-643-0067) for return authorization and
shipping instructions.

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 that they are secured.

PREPARATION

Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package

contents list and hardware contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt
to assemble the product.

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 and

Wire Cutters

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 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 they are
secured.

*Helpful Hint: Standard mounting is best suited for
ceilings 8 ft. high 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.

Check to make sure blades (J) will be at least 30 in.

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

hardware when installing the mounting bracket
(C) as this will support the fan.

IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, make
sure open end of mounting bracket (C) is installed
facing the higher point of the ceiling.

Remove motor screws (Q) and lock washers (R)

4.
Depending on the length of downrod you use,

you may need to cut the lead wires back to
simplify the wiring. If you decide to cut back the
lead wires, it is suggested you do so in the
following manner:

Take the lead wires and make sure you have
pulled them all the way through the top of the
downrod. Start at the TOP of the ball on the
downrod and measure 8 in. of lead wire, and
then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters (not
included).

NOTE: If you do not cut back the lead wires,
Steps 4 and 5 are not necessary and you may
proceed to Step 6 instead.

If you decided to cut back the lead wires in Step 4,
strip a 1/2 in. of insulation from end of white wire.
Twist stripped ends of each strand of wire within
the insulation with pliers (not included). Repeat
Step 5 for black, blue (if applicable) and green
wires.

6.

Install ball end of downrod (A) into mounting
bracket (C) opening. Align slot in ball with tab in

WIRING

WARNING: 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.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
WARNING: If house wires are different colors than referred to in the following steps, stop

immediately. A professional electrician is recommended to determine wiring.
NOTE: This fan is remote control adaptable (remote control not included). If you choose to purchase

a remote control for use with the fan, be advised that the dimming function for the light will not be
operable. Dimming capability for this light is only possible by using wall controls that control the fan
and light separately, such as the WM-7WWL (not included).
