WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, or installing a light kit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

5. This unit must be grounded.

6. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced, consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

Use only UL Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT”.

The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 50 pounds. Use only the two steel screws (and lock washers) provided with the outlet box for mounting box must not twist or work loose. DO NOT USE PLASTIC OUTLET BOXES.

7. After marking electrical connections, spliced conductors should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box.

8. Electrical diagrams are for reference only. Light kits that are not packed with the fan must be UL Listed and marked suitable for use with the model fan you are installing. Switches must be UL General Use Switches. Refer to the instructions packaged with the light kits and switches for proper assembly.

9. After installation is complete, make sure that all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling. Make sure all wire connections are secure, and that there are no exposed conductor strands.

10. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be suitable for most cleaning.

2. The fan must be mounted with at least 7 feet of clearance between fan blades and floor.

3. Make sure that your installation will not allow the fan to come into contact with any adjacent obstacles such as doors, hanging lamps, etc.

4. If you are installing more than one ceiling fan, do not mix the blade sets.

5. Do not bend the blade brackets.

6. Do not operate reversing switch while fan blades are in motion. Fan must be turned off and blades stopped before reversing blade direction.

7. Do not insert objects in between rotating fan blades.

8. Be careful when working around or cleaning the fan.

MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn’t an existing UL listed mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off circuit breakers.

Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and its support must be able to fully support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of 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. (Fig. 3) To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist,

you may need an installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4.

ATTACH FAN BLADES

Caution: Remove 5 rubber packing mounts and discard before installation.

Your fan is equipped with 2-sided reversible blades. Select the finish and install the blade brackets over the side of the blades that will be visible.

Page 6

1. Attach the blade to the blade bracket using the screws and fiber washers as shown in Figure 12. Start screw into bracket. Repeat for the two remaining screws.

2. Tighten each screw. Make sure the blade is straight.

3. Fasten blade assembly to motor using the screws supplied. (Fig.

12)

4. Attach decorative fob to pull chain.

OPERATION

Turn on the power and check the operation of your fan.

3-SPEED PULL CHAIN

Controls the fan speed as follows: 1 pull - High, 2 pulls - Medium, 3 pulls - Low, and 4 pulls - Off.

Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and number of fans.

SLIDE SWITCH

Controls directions: forward (switch down) or reverse (switch up).

NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before changing the setting of the slide switch.

Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow creates a cooling effect as shown in Fig. 13. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow moves warm air off the ceiling area as shown in Fig. 14. This allows you to set your unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.
