Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice®

Hunter’s patented 2-position mounting system provides you maximum installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in one of two ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference: Standard, or Angle mounting. e steps in this manual include instructions for the Standard and the Angled Installer’s Choice mounting methods.

Considering Optional Accessories

Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.

For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you can purchase Hunter extension downrods. All Hunter fans use sturdy 3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability and wobble-free performance.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal

injury, attach the fan directly to the support structure of the building according to these instructions, and use only the hardware supplied.

8 • Assembling the Remote Control and Mounting the Cradle (Continued)

Setting the Dipswitches

You will only have to change the dipswitch settings in the remote if you are using more than one remote controlled fan in the same area and want to control them separately. You may want to label your remotes to ensure you do not mix them up.

1. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn the power o for the fan you want to change. Do not turn the power o at the circuit breaker for the previously installed fan, as you may inadvertently change the dipswitch code settings for it as well.

2. Slide the cover o the back of the remote and remove the battery. e battery must be removed when changing dipswitch settings. Refer to Step 8-1.

3. Change the dipswitch settings, so that they are dierent from the previously installed fan.

4. Replace the battery and cover.

5. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn the power back on for the fan whose settings you are changing.

6. Within 20 seconds of restoring power, push the 3 (high), 2 (medium), and 1 (low) buttons (in that order) on the remote.

Note: e receiver (built into the fan) has a memory function that retains the last

dipswitch code setting. e setting will not change in the event of power failure or if the power to the fan is inadvertently shut o.

9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan

9-1. To start the fan, press the speed button on the remote at the level

you desire: 3 for high, 2 for medium, 1 for low. To turn o the fan, press the o button on the remote.

9-2. You can control the uplight and downlight using separate buttons

on the remote. To turn the light on or o independently from the fan, press the appropriate light button once for gradual o or twice for instant o.

With the Auto Resume feature, the light will come on at the level

you used last. You can also hold the light button down to use the remote as a dimmer. (As you hold the button, the light level will move throughout its entire range within 16 seconds.) Release the button at the desired level.

9-3. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise

blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling around the room without causing a draft.

9-4. For cleaning nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent

scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents, as they will damage the nish.

9-5. Clean wood nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.

Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the same manner as the fan nish.
