Should you have any questions or difficulty installing your new fan,

Note: Power supply must be turned off prior to any contact with electrical

ceiling fan.
Important: The DC Slim can only be controlled with the #DCR remote
control (included with the fan) in combination with an on/off switch at a
wall location. Dimmers, rheostats, fan speed or other controls are not

Determine if you will suspend your fan using a down rod or the hugger kit,
both of which are included with your fan. The hugger kit is recommended
for 8' (eight foot) ceilings, while a down rod is usually better suited for higher
ceilings. While building codes require fan blades to be 7' (seven feet) or
higher above the floor, a longer down rod will generally improve airflow and
efficiency when ceiling heights allow. For hugger installation, proceed to
step (2) below. For down rod installation, skip to step (10).
