MOUNTING OPTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock,

or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked ‘’acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg) or less’’, and use the 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:

□ Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off

the circuit breakers.

□ 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 three different ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from horizontal.

Outlet Box

If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover and turn the canopy 180° before attaching the canopy to the mounting plate.

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).

Operating Your Fan and Remote Control

Remote Control - Your fan is equipped with a remote control to operate the speed and lights of your new ceiling fan. For more information on how to install the remote control, see the remote control instruction along with the remote control components.

Speed setting for warm or cool weather depends on factor such as the room size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on.

The fan shipped from the factory with the reversing switch positioned to circulate air downward. If airow is desired in the opposite direction, turn your fan off and wait for the blades to stop turning, then slide the reversing switch (located in switch cup) to opposite position, and turn fan on again. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction and reverse airow.

1. Speed - The remote features Low, Med, Hi and Off buttons to select the desired speed of operation and turn the fan On or Off.

2. Light - To control the light kit, the remote features a Light/Dimmer button.

NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before reversing the direction of blade rotation.

Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airow creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward air ow moves warm air off the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

Operating Your Fan and Remote Control

1. Power ON/OFF - Press and release the button to turn the fan and light on or off.

2. Fan Speed - LEDs on the fan speed button will illuminate to the corresponding speed.

- Press and release 1 time - turns the fan on high speed.

- Press and release 2 times - turns the fan on medium speed.

- Press and release 3 times - turns the fan on low speed.

- Press and release 4 times - turns the fan off.

3. Light ON/OFF

previously set O/D dip switch in your remote to the “ON” position).

Page 15

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Make sure the power if off before cleaning your fan.

□ Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade

attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. It is not necessary to remove fan from ceiling.

□ Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage

the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the nish. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing.

□ You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a

light application of shoe polish.

□ You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

The fan will not start □ Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.

□ Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing. □ Check battery in transmitter. □ Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 feet. □ Ensure the dip switches settings are in the same on the transmitter and receiver. □ Remember to turn power off power supply before checking the dip switches settings.

The fan is noisy □ Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.

□ Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight. □ Ensure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. □ Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time. □ If you are using the Ceiling Fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light

bulbs are also secure. □ Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling. □ Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box.

The fan wobbles □ Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.

□ Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the

ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure from a point on the center of each blade to the point on the

ceiling. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each

blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to

wobble please contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.
