MOUNTING OPTIONS
![]()
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked "Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg) or less", and use screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:
- Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
- Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg). Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked "Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg) or less" Do not use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations below show three 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 30° away from horizontal.
If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover, and 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 below (available at any Home Depot store).

Operating Your Fan and Remote Control
Remote Control - Your fan is equipped with a remote control to operate the speed and lights of your new ceiling fan.
Speed setting for warm or cool weather depends on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on.
The fan is shipped from the factory with the reversing switch (YY) positioned to circulate air downward. If airflow is desired in the opposite direction, turn your fan off and wait for the blades to stop turning, then slide the reversing switch (located on the top of the motor housing) to the opposite position, and turn the fan on again. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction and reverse airflow.
![HAMPTON BAY - MENA - Operating Your Fan and Remote Control Operating Your Fan and Remote Control]()
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow moves warm air off of the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

Care and Cleaning
![]()
Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan.
- Because of the fan's natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
- Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
- You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
- You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
- To remove the blade from the motor housing, squeeze the tabs of the locking clip towards each other and pull the fan blade away from the motor housing.
Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
The fan will not start. | - Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
- Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
- Check the battery in the remote control.
- Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 feet.
- Remember to turn off the power supply before checking the dip switch settings.
|
The fan is noisy. | - Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.
- Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
- Ensure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
- Allow a 24-hour "breaking in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
- If you are using the Ceiling Fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulbs are also secure.
- Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
- Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box.
|
The fan wobbles. | - Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
- Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure from a point on the center of the blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement, and measure from the same point on each blade to the ceiling. Repeat for each blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to wobble please contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.
