2. Electrical Requirements

(Continued)
Your Emerson ceiling fan comes supplied with a Fan/Light
Remote Control which consists of a receiver mounted
inside the ceiling cover of the fan motor housing. This
system allows you to regulate your ceiling fan speed and
light ON/OFF.
!
Before assembling your ceiling fan, refer to section on
proper method of wiring your fan (page 8). If you feel you
do not have enough wiring knowledge or experience,
have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling light fixture, turn
electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove
the existing light fixture.
!
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid possible
electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the
main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must be in
accordance with National and Local codes and the ceiling
fan must be properly grounded as a precaution against
possible electrical shock.
!
To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions
carefully.
Any electrical work not described in these
instructions should be done or approved by a licensed
electrician.
Please call Emerson
