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 only one Installer’s Choice mounting method.
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

2 • Installing the Ceiling Plate
CAUTION: To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,
disconnect the power by turning o the circuit breakers to the outlet box
and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers
in the o position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
2-2. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes you
drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use
slotted holes directly across from each other.
2-3. Place the ceiling gasket over the ceiling plate so that the slots and
the raised surfaces on the ceiling gasket align with the slots and
holes on the ceiling plate.
2-4. Use a 3” wood screw to pierce two holes in the ceiling gasket that
match the pilot holes you drilled in step 2-1.
2-5. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling gasket and ceiling plate.
Step 2-2
Note: e ceiling gasket should be ush against the ceiling.

situated in the narrow end of the keyhole slots. Securely install
the third screw and tighten all screws.
CAUTION: Make sure the lower switch housing/light assembly is
securely attached to the switch housing mounting plate. Failure to
properly attach and tighten all four housing assembly screws could
result in the switch housing and light xture falling.
Step 8-13
Note: In compliance with US federal energy regulations, this
ceiling fan contains a device that restricts the light kit to a
maximum of 190 Watts. Exceeding that limit or the marked
limit on this product may result in re hazard or improper
operation.

10 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
10-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.
10-2. e fan pull chain controls power to the fan. e pull chain has
four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low, Serenity Speed,
and O.
• Pull the chain slowly to change settings.
• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the
blades.
• e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the
chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into
the connector.
10-3. 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.
10-4. 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.
In warm weather, use
downward air ow pattern
10-5. 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.
To Change Airow Direction
To change the direction of air ow, turn the fan o
and let it come to a complete stop. Pull the reversing
switch chain on the fan to the next position. Restart
fan.

and instructions to balance the fan.
2. Tighten all blade iron screws.
3. Turn power o, support fan very carefully, and check that the
hanger ball is properly seated.
Problem: Lights dim when turned on or do not turn on
1. Check to make sure wattage of light bulbs installed match the
specications on the light socket.
Problem: If the light on this fan shuts o suddenly.
1. Turn the power to the fan o at the wall switch.
