Parts Inventory

1. hanging bracket. 1 piece
2. motor housing. 1 piece
3. motor assembly. 1 piece
4. blade arm. 6 pieces
5. glass shade. 1 piece
6. blade. 6 pieces
7. hardware packs

Installation Preparation

To prevent personal injury and damage, ensure that the hanging location allows the blades a clearance of 7 feet (2.13m) from the floor and 30in. (76cm) from any wall or obstruction.

This fan is suitable for room sizes up to 8ft. - 10ft. (9.3 square meters).

This fan can be mounted as a flushmount only on a regular ceiling. Downrod installations are not available for this fan.

Installation requires these tools: Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, adjustable pliers or wrench, stepladder, wire cutters, and rated electrical tape.

Hanging Bracket Installation

Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from breaker panel and be sure operating light switch is turned to the OFF position.

Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury.

Remove existing fixture.

When using an existing outlet box, be sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Ensure it is clearly marked "Suitable for Fan Support." If not, it must be replaced with an approved outlet box. Failure to do so can result in serious injury.

Be sure oulet box is grounded properly and that a ground wire (GREEN or bare) is present.

Install hanging bracket to outlet box using original screws, spring washers and flat washers provided with new or original outlet box.* Arrange electrical wiring to one side of the hanging bracket.

*Note: It is very important that you use the proper hardware when installing the hanging bracket as this will support the fan.

Preparation for Wiring

Remove single motor mounting screw from hook end of motor assembly. Remove 2 motor mounting screws from hanging bracket. Lift motor assembly to hanging bracket and slide hook end (with single screw hole) into square opening on hanging bracket (see diagram). This will allow the motor assembly to hang out of the way while wiring.

Tip: Seek the help of another person to hold the stepladder in place and to lift the fan up to you once you are set on the ladder.

Wiring

Turn off circuit breakers to current fixture from breaker panel and be sure switch is turned to the OFF position.

Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (GREEN or Bare) is present.

Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances and the National Electrical Code. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors than those referred to below, please use a qualified electrician.

When fan is secured in place on the hanging bracket, electrical wiring can be made as follows:

Connect BLACK and BLUE wire from fan to BLACK wire from ceiling with wire connector provided.

Connect WHITE wire from fan to WHITE wire from ceiling with wire connector provided.

Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires together from fan to BARE/GREEN wire from ceiling with wire connector provided.

If you intend to control the fan light with a separate light switch, connect BLUE wire from fan to the BLACK (or RED) supply from the independent switch.

* Wrap each wire connector separately with electrical tape as an extra safety measure

Fan Assembly

Carefully push wiring and wire connectors into outlet box. Leave hook end of motor assembly in square opening of hanging bracket and lift the other end of motor assembly toward hanging bracket.

Align motor assembly screw holes with hanging bracket screw holes and, using motor mounting screws, secure motor assembly with a Phillips screwdriver.

Motor Housing Assembly

Hold motor housing up to hanging bracket to determine which 2 screws align with slotted holes on top rim of motor housing. Put motor housing down and partially loosen the 2 screws in the hanging bracket that correspond to slotted holes in the motor housing. Remove the other 2 screws from the hanging bracket.

Raise motor housing to hanging bracket, allowing slotted holes in motor housing to align with loosened screws in hanging bracket. Twist motor housing to lock. Re-install the 2 screws that were removed and then tighten all 4 screws to secure motor housing.

Blade Assembly

Time Saver: Washers for blade screws can be set on each blade screw prior to installing blades.

Locate 18 blade attachment screws and washers in one of the hardware packs. Hold blade arm up to blade and align holes. Insert 3 blade attachment screws (along with washers) with fingers first, and then tighten screws securely with a Phillips screwdriver. Repeat procedure for the remaining blades.

Remove blade arm screws and lock washers from underside of motor. If plastic motor locks are installed with blade arm screws, discard plastic motor locks (save blade arm screws and lock washers to secure blade arms). Align blade arm holes with motor screw holes and attach blade arm with lock washers and blade arm screws. Before securing screws permanently, repeat this same procedure with the remaining blade arms. Secure all screws.

NOTE: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year

Light Kit Assembly

Install 1 medium base 6.5 watt LED bulb (included).

When replacing bulb, please allow bulb and glass shade to cool down before touching.

Partially loosen the 3 thumbscrews in the light kit plate. Raise glass shade and hold it in place in the base of the light kit plate. Secure glass shade by tightening the thumbscrews until they touch the rubber ring on the glass shade. Do NOT overtighten thumbscrews as glass may crack or break.

Leave rubber ring on glass shade intact as this (along with the thumbscrews) will help hold the glass shade in place.

Testing Your Fan

It is recommended that you test fan before finalizing installation. Restore power from circuit box and wall switch (if applicable). Test fan speeds with the pull chain to the right of the reverse switch. Start at the OFF position (no blade movement). First pull will set the fan to HI. Second pull will set the fan to MEDIUM. Third pull will set the fan to LOW. Fourth pull will re-set the fan to OFF setting. Test light with the pull chain to the left of the reverse switch. (Refer to diagram 1.) If fan and/or light do (does) not function, please refer to "Troubleshooting" section to solve any issues before contacting Customer Service. Turn fan completely off before moving the reverse switch. Set reverse switch to recirculate air depending on the season:

• DOWN position in summer (diagram 2)
• UP position in winter (diagram 3)

A ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort.

Reverse switch must be set either completely UP or completely DOWN for fan to function. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position (diagram 4), fan will not operate.

Attach pull chain extensions supplied or custom pull chain extensions (sold separately) to ends of the pull chains.
