The pull chain coming from the

center of the nial turns the light on

and off. The pull chain coming from

the off-center hole in the nial cap

controls the fan speed.

moving the reverse switch.
In warmer weather, push the reverse
switch down which will result in downward

airow which creates a wind chill effect.

In cooler weather, push the reverse
switch up which will result in upward

airow that can help move hot air off of

SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.

• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.

• Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and
ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Hire a qualied electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with

installing electrical wiring.

• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the oor and at least

30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.

• The net weight of this fan is: 17.38 lbs.

DANGER: When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and

can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box
is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after installation is complete.

WARNING: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked

“ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes

commonly used for the support of lighting xtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.
Consult a qualied electrician if in doubt. Secure the outlet 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 35 lbs.).

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are

designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than
12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper
size wire connectors to use.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not use the fan with any solid-state speed-control device

or control the fan speed with a full-range dimmer switch.

20

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing

them, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts other than

those provided with this fan will void the warranty.

CAUTION: Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or that a ground (green or bare) wire is present.

CAUTION: Carefully check all screws, bolts, and nuts on the fan motor assembly to ensure they are secured.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

At least twice each year, lower the canopy to check the downrod assembly and tighten all screws on the fan. Clean
the motor housing with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the nish. Clean the blades with a

lint-free cloth.

Important: Shut off the main power supply before you begin any maintenance task. Do not use water or a damp cloth

to clean the fan.
