SAFETY RULES
1. Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off at the circuit breaker of the fuse box.
2. Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.
3. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or National Electrical Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a
do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the
floor and 18 inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.
5. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling fan outlet box, use a U.L. Listed metal octagonal outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan Support". Secure the
box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds) Do
not use a plastic box.
6. Caution: To reduce the risk of injury use only the screws provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock washers provided with the fan.
7. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds).
8. After you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.
9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.
10. Turn the fan off and wait for the blades to stop completely before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING:: To avoid possible electrical shock be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.
NOTE: The Aire Control
function which has 256 code combinations to prevent potential
interference from other remote units. The frequency on your Receiver
and Transmitter units have been preset at the factory. (Fig. 11) No
frequency change is necessary, should you desire to install another fan
within the same home or area with a seperate frequency code please see
the "frequency interference" troubleshooting section of this instruction
manual to learn how to change the frequency.
Step 1.
Attach receiver to the motor housing using the double sided
tape pre-attached to the receiver. (Fig. 12)
®
System is equipped with a learning frequency
Step 2. Motor to Receiver Electrical Connections: Connect the WHITE
wire from the fan to the WHITE wire marked "TO MOTOR N" from the
Receiver. Connect the BLACK wire from the fan to the BLACK wire
marked "TO MOTOR L" from the Receiver. Connect the GRAY wire from
the fan to the GRAY wire marked "FOR CENTER MOTOR" from the
Receiver.
Note: Fan must be installed from a maximum distance of 40 feet from
the transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the
transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.
Page 13
Step 3. Receiver to House Supply Wires Electrical Connections:
Connect the WHITE wire (Neutral) from the outlet box to the WHITE
wire marked "AC in N" from the receiver. Connect the BLACK wire
(Hot) from the outlet box to the BLACK wire marked "AC in L" from
the receiver. Secure all wire connections with the plastic wire nuts
provided. (Fig. 13)
RECEIVER
Step 4. If your outlet box has a GROUND wire (Green or Bare Copper)
connect this wire to the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground
wires. If your outlet box does not have a Ground Wire, then connect
the Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground Wires together. Secure
wire connection with the plastic wire nut provided. (Fig. 13)
After all splices are made, check to make sure there are no loose
strands. As an additional precaution we suggest to secure the plastic
wire connectors to the wires with electrical tape.

OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Remote Control only: Install a A23 12 volt battery (included). To prevent damage to transmitter remove the battery if not used for long periods of time.
Restore Power to Ceiling Fan.
A. Buttons:
These buttons are used to set the fan speeds as follows;
= Low Speed
= Medium Speed
= High Speed
B. Button:
This button turns the fan off.
C. Button: This button rotates the fan assembly at 3 RPM.
NOTE: The complete fan assembly is designed to rotate in one direction however,
when blocked it will automatically turn to the opposite direction. The rotation
change will not have any effect on the performance of the fan.
Page 17
Step 1. While supporting the center fan body with one hand
you must adjust the position of the side fan from the body
housing.
Note: The fan heads can only be adjusted in a downward, left
or right direction up to a maximum of 30 degrees. This fan
will not maintain a upward position. Do not adjust the angle
of the fan by holding the fan cage. (Fig. 15)

Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.
1. 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 the ceiling).
CARE OF YOUR FAN
ALLEN WRENCH
SCREWS
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over
the years. Use only a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the
finish. Plated finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimize discoloration
or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning, this could damage the
motor, fan blades or possibly cause an electrical shock.
To access the blades inside the cage, use the Allen wrench in the parts
bag and unscrew the cage as shown in Fig. 16. Please use the Allen
wrench to secure the screws after cleaning the blades.

3. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from
the blades.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated
bearings.
5. If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water
and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER.
DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM
Fan will not start
SOLUTION
Check to make sure the wall switch is turned on.
Check circuit fuses or breakers.
Caution! Make sure the power is turned off before performing the
following steps.
Remove canopy and check wire connections.
SYMPTOM
Fan Sounds Noisy
SOLUTION
Allow a 24-hour "break in" period. Most noises associated with a new
fan will go away during this time.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade holder to the motor
hub is tight.
Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary
use the wood screws provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
Check wall control transmitter connections (if applicable).
Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum distance of 40 feet from
the transmitting unit for proper signal transmission between the
transmitting unit and the fan's receiving unit.
Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are
tight.
Page 21
SYMPTOM
Fan Wobble
SOLUTION
NOTE: All blade sets are grouped by weight. Because wood and plastic blades vary in density, the fan may wobble even though blades are
matched.
Make sure outlet box is secured to building structure, if necessary use the wood screws provided to further secure outlet box to joist.
Make sure hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box, screws are tight.
Use the balancing kit provided if the wobble is excessive (follow instructions included with balancing kit)
Page 22
SYMPTOM
Frequency Interference
SOLUTION
1.
Turn the power off to your ceiling fan.
2.
Please use a small size tool to change the frequency settings on the control system.
3.
Return power to the unit.
Note: After the AC power is on, do not press any other button on the transmitter before pressing the "Stop" button, doing so will cause the
procedure to fail.
4.
Within 60 seconds of turning the Fan's AC power ON. Press the transmitter's "Stop" button and hold the "Stop¡" button for 10 seconds.
5.
Once the receiver has detected the set frequency, the down light of your fan if applicable will blink twice. (there is no indication if your fan is not
equipped with a light).
6.
The receiver has now learn the frequency which has been selected on the transmitter. After completing the steps above, you should be able to
operate the ceiling fan and light. If the fan is not responding to the transmitter, please turn the power off to the receiver, and repeat the process.
