Mounting Options

To prevent electrical shock, ensure electricity has been turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning.
If there isn't an existing UL/cUL listed outlet box, please refer to the following instructions. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and support structure must be able to fully support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs/15.9 kg). Do not use plastic outlet boxes. Use only UL/cUL listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT."
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure.
Figures 1-1C are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.
NOTE: To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar.
NOTE: Downrod fans can be suspended up to a maximum recommended length of 72" using additional downrods (sold separately) and the included 80" lead wire.
NOTE: The sloped ceiling kit (sold separately) is required for sloped ceiling applications, and will accommodate slopes up to 45° (Fig. 1B).
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling (Fig. 1B).
NOTE: For wet location - ensure the individual wood beam is at least 1-inch wider than fan's canopy for mounting purposes.

Troubleshooting

My Fan Will Not Start

1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in the switch housings.

Make sure the main power is turned off!

My Fan is Noisy

1. Allow for 24-hour break-in period. Most noises associated with a new fan will go away during this time period.
2. Check to make sure the screws which attached to the blades (and blade arms when applicable) are tight.
3. Check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug.
4. Make sure light cover is tightened and/or glass is snug.
5. Tighten the hanger bracket screws and make sure the outlet box is secured.
6. Your wire connectors may be rattling against the fan's canopy.
7. Make sure you have a cUL/UL approved outlet box and it is installed correctly.

My Fan is Wobbling

1. Tighten the setscrews in the downrod.
2. Make sure your hanger ball assembly is locked into place in the hanger bracket.
3. Tighten the hanger bracket screws to the outlet box.
4. Make sure the fan blades are properly aligned and securely fastened to the motor housing assembly/blade arms.
5. Make sure the gaps between the blades are evenly distributed or make sure you are using an approved cUL/UL listed outlet box and it is installed correctly.

My Fan is not producing Enough Air Movement
If possible, please consider using a longer than included downrod.

My remote or wall control is not controlling my fan
Verify that the fan is receiving power by power cycling the fan.
To do this:

1. Cut power to the fan via standard On/Off wall switch, or the breaker if standard wall switch is not applicable.
2. Wait at least 10 seconds, and then restore power.
3. The fan will power on in Pairing mode for 3 minutes.
4. Press and hold and buttons on wall control for 10-15 seconds.
5. When the LED indicator remains solid green, and three (2) audible beeps are heard, the pairing process is complete.

I don't see my fan's WiFi (ModernFormFan_XXXXXX) in my phone's list of available WiFi networks.

1. If your fan had been previously paired the Wi-Fi radio will be off.
2. To turn on Wi-Fi, press and hold fan speed up and fan speed down buttons on your remote control or wall control for 6 seconds.
3. The fan will beep and you will see its Wi-Fi network available for connection.

My home Wi-Fi network is not showing up in the app's list during setup.

1. Your fan supports connection with 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n networks. Confirm your network is compatible by checking your router settings or contact your router manufacturer.
2. Make sure your network's SSID is not hidden.
3. Your fan does not support 5 GHz network connectivity connection.

My Fan failed to join the Wi-Fi network

1. Make sure you entered the correct Wi-Fi password and your mobile device is connected to the same network you attempted to connect the fan.
2. Make sure you are within the router manufacturer's specified range. If all of these steps have failed - please power cycle your fan and router and retry.

What is power cycling and how do I power cycle my fan?
Power cycling is the act of temporaily removing the power source for your fan. If the fan is powered through a wall switch, turn the switch off for 10 seconds and back on. Alternately, you can use the circuit breaker the fan is connected to by toggling it off for 10 seconds and back on. If your fan is wired through a Modern Forms wall control (P/N: F-WCBT-WT) pull the Air-Gap Switch on your wall control, wait 10 seconds, and re-insert.

What is Breeze Mode?

Breeze Mode mimics the natural ebb and flow of winds in nature by fluctuating your fan's speed.

What is Pairing?

Pairing is the process of connecting your Modern Forms remote or wall control to your fan. Your fan comes pre-paired to your included remote control. However, if you want additional controls for your fan or if you're replacing a control, refer to the pairing and unpairing section of the instructions.

What is a Factory Reset?

Factory Reset is a restore of the fans original settings. This can be achieved from the control or by pressing and holding the small button on the receiver until you hear three audible beeps or by holding down the fan toggle, light toggle, and season toggle buttons on your paired remote or wall control for 10 seconds.
NOTE: You will need to re-pair your remote or wall controls to the fan following a factory reset. A factory reset will also disconnect the fan from your home Wi-Fi network and will require you to add the fan using the Modern Forms Smart Fans app.
Please refer to the FAQ section of our app for further guidance. For all other questions, please contact our dedicated Fan Support specialists. Contact information can be found at the front of the instructions.
