How To Wire Your Ceiling Fan - Emerson CF717BS00 Owner's Manual

If you feel that you do not have enough electrical
wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan
installed by a licensed electrician.
WARNING
!
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before wiring.
NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded,
contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be
grounded for safe operation.
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.

white (neutral) wire using wire connector supplied

ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire
connectors, except for the ground wire. Do not
operate fan until blades are in place. Noise and fan
damage could result.
