connections must be made in accordance with local codes, ordinances and/or the National Electric Code. If you are
unfamiliar with the methods of installing electrical wiring and products, secure the services of a qualified and
licensed electrician as well as someone who can check the strength of the supportive ceiling members and make
the proper installation(s) and connections.
3. Make sure that your installation site will not allow rotating fan blades to come in contact with any object. Blades
should be at least 7 feet from floor when fan is operating.
4. The fan should be mounted on a ceiling outlet box, an approved box UL listed as
required. The box and its supporting members must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least
35lbs.). The box must not be able to twist or work loose. Installation on a concrete ceiling should be performed
by qualified personnel.

* To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “acceptable for fan support”
and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. 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.

Be sure electricity is turned off at the main power box before wiring.*
*
Four wires are connected to the fan (plus the ground wire).
Black - the “hot” power to run fan.
White - the “common” power to run fan and light,
also referred to as “AC neutral”.
Blue - the “hot” power for lower light.
Gray - the “hot” power for upper light.
Green - ground wire.
Six wires are connected to the remote control receiver. Four
will connect to the four wires coming out of the fan
(matching color to color) and the remaining black wire and
white wire will connect to the building 110v AC circuit.
BE SURE ELECTRICITY IS TURNED OFF AT THE
MAIN POWER BOX BEFORE WIRING.
Connect six power wir
es as shown [Fig. 1], using wir
e nuts
provided. Connect green ground wires to building ground
wire circuit. Extend antenna wire inside canopy, but do not

attach to any other wire.
NOTE: If power to the fan’s electrical ceiling box is controlled by a wall switch, the wall switch must remain ON
for the radio remote control to operate. Turning the wall switch OFF will turn off all fan/light function and resets
the receiver back to default mode. The wall switch will need to be tur
ned back ON to allow use of remote control.
* Restore power by replacing fuse or resetting circuit breaker ONLY AFTER ALL INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL
WORK IS COMPLETED AND DOUBLE-CHECKED.

CARE AND CLEANING
P
eriodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is about the only maintenance that is needed. Only use a soft brush or lint free cloth
to avoid scratching the finish. DO NOT use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It could damage the motor or the blades
and/or create the possibility of electrical shock.
Periodically it may be necessary to re-tighten blade to blade arm screws or blade arm to motor screws to prevent clicking or
humming sound during operation. This is especially true in climates with broad temperature and humidity ranges and in fans
with painted or high gloss blades.
When dusting the blades, you must support the blade to prevent its bending - no pressure should be applied to the blades. If you
experience any flaws in the operation of your fan, please check the following points:

• Make sure the codes on both the transmitter and receiver are set the same.
• Fully extend the receiver antenna inside of canopy.

Wobble can also result from even the smallest deviations in distance from blade tip to blade tip - if measurements from
blade tip to blade tip are not equal, loosen screws connecting blade to bracket one at a time and adjust blade(s) so that
distances are equal. Interchanging adjacent blades may redistribute mass and result in smoother operation.
• Check to make sure that all hanger bracket screws and electrical box fasteners are tight. If electrical box is not tight to
the building, the whole fan, bracket, and electrical box may be moving as a result of the wobble. This can be dangerous if the electrical box should work loose from the building.
