Ceiling height must be a minimum
of 9 feet.

The location of a ceiling fan and
how the fan is attached to the build­ing structure are essential for reli­able operation, maximum effi­ciency, and energy savings. For this
reason, we have included a sepa­rate booklet — “Guide to Choos­ing and Preparing a Ceiling Fan

Site” — to help you select the best
location for your fan. The booklet
also provides information to ensure
your fan support and electric out­let box meet UL-approved safety
codes for ceiling fans.

The instructions in this installation
manual assume that you have used
“Guide to Choosing and Preparing
a Ceiling Fan Site” to pick the fan
location and make certain the proper
fan support and outlet box are in­stalled.

Carefully unpack your fan to avoid

damage to the fan parts. Check for
any shipping damage to the motor
or fan blades. If one of the fan blades
was damaged in shipment, return all
the blades for replacement.
