Warranty

The supplier warrants the fan motor to be free from defects in workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the factory for a life­time after the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The supplier also warrants that all other fan parts, excluding any glass or acrylic blades,
be free from defects in workmanship and material at the time of shipment from the factory for a period of one year after the date of purchase
by the original purchaser. We agree to correct such defects without charge or at our option replace with a comparable or superior model if the
product is returned. To obtain warranty service, you must present a copy of the receipt as proof of purchase. All costs of removing and reinstall­ing the product are your responsibility. Damage to any part, such as by accident, misuse, improper installation, or by afxing any accessories, is
not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions, this warranty does not cover any changes in brass nish, including rusting,
pitting, corroding, tarnishing, or peeling. Brass nishes of this type give their longest useful life when protected from varying weather conditions.
A certain amount of “wobble” is normal and should not be considered a defect. Servicing performed by unauthorized persons shall render the
warranty invalid. There is no other express warranty. Hampton Bay hereby disclaims any and all warranties, including but not limited to those
of merchantability and tness for a particular purpose to the extent permitted by law. The duration of any implied warranty which cannot be
disclaimed is limited to the time period as specied in the express warranty. Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an implied war­ranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. The retailer shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, or special damages arising
out of or in connection with product use or performance except as may otherwise be accorded by law. Some states do not allow the exclusion of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives specic legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty supersedes all prior warranties. Shipping costs for any return of product
as part of a claim on the warranty must be paid by the customer.

MOUNTING OPTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or
personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable
for fan support of 35lbs. (15.9 Kg) or less” and use
screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box
commonly used for the support of lighting xtures may
not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be
replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualied electrician.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting
box, then install one using the following instructions:

Ƒ Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off

the circuit breakers.

Ƒ Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use

the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and
its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the
moving fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations below show two different ways to mount the
outlet box.

Hanger Bar

Outlet Box

To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling joist,
you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above

(available at any Home Depot store).
