Installing Your Fan - HAMPTON BAY Winfield Owner's Manual

Installing Your Fan

Tools Required
Phillips screwdriver, straight slot screwdriver, step
ladder and wire cutters.
Mounting Options
If there isn't an existing ETL 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 35 lbs). Do not use plastic outlet boxes.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN
ONLY TO AN OULET BOX MARKED ACCEPT-
ABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE THE
MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE
OULET BOX. OUTLET BOX COMMONLY USED
FOR THE SUPPORT OF LIGHTING FIXTURE
MAY NOT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT
AND MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. CONSULT A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.
Figures 1~3 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. The maximum angle
allowable is 18 ° . If the canopy touches downrod,
remove the decorative canopy bottom cover and
Figure 1
turn the canopy 180 ° before attaching the canopy
to the mounting plate.
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 (available at any
Figure 2
Home Depot retailer).
