SAFETY RULES
Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off the circut breaker of the fuse box.
1.
2. Be cautious!Read all instuctions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.
3. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinance, or National Electrical Codes.Hire a qualified electrician or
consult a do-it-your self 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 top 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. To operate the reverse function on this fan, press the reverse button while the fan is running.

NOTE: The Aire Control System is equipped with a learning frequency
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 whithin the same home or area with a separate frequency code
please see the ”frequency interference ”troubleshooting section
of this instruction manual to learn how to change the frequency.
Step 1. Insert Receiver into Hanger Bracket with the flat side of
the Receiver facing the ceiling.(Fig.12)

is turned off at the main fuse or breaker box before wiring.
R
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 BLUE wire
from the fan to the BLUE wire marked”For Light” from the Receiver.
NOTE: If your ceiling fan features an UP Light: Connect the ORANGE
wire from the fan to the ORANGE wire marked “ For Up Light ” from
the Receiver. Otherwise disregard this step and proceed to secure all
wire connections with the plastic wire nuts provided.(Fig.13)
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)
Step 4.If your outlet box has a GROUND wire (Green or Bare Copper)
connect this wire to the Hanger Ball and Hangerf Bracket Ground wires.
If your outlet box does not have a Ground Wire, then connect the
Hanger Ball and Hanger Bracket Ground Wire 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.

CARE OF YOUR FAN
10
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
attachment twice a year. Make sure they are secure.(It is not necessary
to remove fan from the ceiling).
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, wood
blades or possibly cause an electrical shock.
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.
