Electrical Requirements; How To Hang Your Ceiling Fan - Emerson APOLLO CF3900AB01 Owner's Manual

Electrical Requirements

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
The outlet box must be securely anchored and capa-
ble of withstanding a load of at least 50 pounds.
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked acceptable for
fan support, and use screws supplied with outlet
box. 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.
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.
WARNING
!
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.
WARNING
!
To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions
carefully.
Any electrical work not described in these instruc-
tions should be done or approved by a licensed
electrician.
