Safety Instructions - Emerson CF712AB02 Owner's Manual

WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, and serious personal injury, follow these instructions.
1. Read your owner's manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
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 put anything into the fan blades while they are turning.
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. The installation is to be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, "ANSI/NFPA 70-2008" and Local
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 pounds. Use
only U.L. outlet boxes listed as "Acceptable for Fan Support", and use the mounting screws provided with the
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.
4. The downrod furnished with the fan provides the minimum recommended floor to fan blade clearance for an
8-foot ceiling.
5. The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 7 feet from the floor to prevent accidental contact with the
fan blades.
6. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your ceiling fan. If you do not know
enough about electrical wiring, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
