WARNING: To avoid fire, shock and serious personal injury, follow these instructions.

1. Read your owner's manual and safety information before installing your new fan. Review the accompanying assembly

diagrams.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel disconnecting means to prevent

power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a

warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

3. Be careful of the fan and blades when cleaning, painting, or working near the fan. Always turn off the power to the ceiling

fan before servicing.

4. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.

5. Do not operate reversing switch until fan blades have come to a complete stop.

1. To avoid possible shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the fuse box before wiring, and do not operate fan without blades.

2. All wiring must satisfy National (ANSI/ NFPA) Electrical Codes. Use the National Electrical Code if Local Codes do not

exist. The ceiling fan must be grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock. Electrical installation should be made

or approved by a licensed electrician.

3. The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting at least 50 lbs. (fan and accessories not to

exceed 35 lbs. or 17 kgs.). Use only UL outlet boxes listed as acceptable for fan support. Most outlet boxes commonly used

for support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in

doubt.

4. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, mount the hanger bracket to an outlet box marked "Acceptable For Fan

Support" using the hardware provided with your fan or the outlet box.

5. The downrod furnished with the fan provides the minimum recommended floor to fan blade clearance for an 8 foot ceiling.

6. The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 7 feet from the floor to prevent accidental contact with the fan blades.

7. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your ceiling fan. If you do not have adequate electrical

knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by licensed electrician.
