Hanging the Fan

REMEMBER

er. Follow the steps below to hang your
fan properly.

NOTE: This ceiling fan is supplied with two
types of hanging assemblies; the standard
ceiling installation using the downrod with
ball and socket mounting, and the “close-to­ceiling” mounting. The “close-to-ceiling”
mounting is recommended in rooms with
less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas where

additional space is desired from the oor

to the fan blades. When using standard
downrod installation, the distance from the
ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be
approximately 12 inches. The “close-to-ceiling”
installation reduces the distance from the
ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to
approximately 7 inches.

Once you have decided which ceiling
installation you will use, proceed with the
following instructions. Where necessary,
each section of the instructions will note the

WHEN MOUNTING THE FAN ON A SLOPED
CEILING, THE STANDARD BALL/DOWNROD
MOUNTING METHOD MUST BE USED. THE
MOUNTING PLATE MUST BE MOUNTED SO
