Safety Information
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure electricity has
been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before
beginning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do
not use this fan with any solid-state fan speed control device.
It will permanently damage the electronic circuitry.
2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code “ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and local electrical codes.
Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified
licensed electrician.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not
bend the blade arms (also referred to as flanges), when
installing the brackets, balancing the blades, or cleaning the
fan.
3. The outlet box and support structure must be securely
mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35
lbs. Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN
SUPPORT.”
WARNING: Do not insert foreign objects between rotating
fan blades.
4. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. clearance
from the trailing edge of the blades to the floor.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount the fan to the outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support with the screws provided with the
outlet box.
5. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.
6. To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other
items, be cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only
the screws provided with the outlet box.
7. Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan
blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be
suitable for most cleaning.
NOTICE: This fan includes a 190W limiter to comply with the
department of energy 2009 regulation. Lamping this product over
190W will cause this fan to not light. Please use bulbs with a total
wattage under the 190W regulation.
8. After making electrical connections, spliced conductors
should be turned upward and pushed carefully up into the
outlet box. The wires should be spread apart with the
grounded conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor
on one side of the outlet box and ungrounded conductor on
the other side of the outlet box.
9. All setscrews must be checked and retightened where
necessary before installation.

Installation
MOUNTING OOPTIONS
NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If
the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative
canopy bottom cover (C) and turn the canopy (B) 180° before
attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting bracket (A).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support using the 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:
MM
□
□
Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off
the circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box (LL) (not included) directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials
(not included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able
to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35
lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.
LL
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling
joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (MM) (not
included) as shown above.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box (LL) (not included).

Operation (continued)
REVERSE SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The reverse switch is located on the top of the motor housing.
Slide the switch to the left for warm weather operation. Slide the
switch to the right for cool weather operation.
NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction
of the blade rotation.
Warm weather - (Counterclockwise Direction) A downward air flow
creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner
on a warmer setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise Direction) An upward air flow moves
warm air off the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on
a cooler setting without affecting your comfort.
Care and Cleaning
Do
Do not
□
Check the support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.
Because of the fan’s natural movement, some
connections may become loose over time. It is not
necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
□
Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor,
or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
□
Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has
permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
□
Clean your fan periodically. Use only a soft brush or
lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The plating is
sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or
tarnishing.
□
□
(Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood
blades.
(Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of
shoe polish.

Troubleshooting
WARNING: Make sure the power is off at the electrical
panel box before you attempt any repairs. Refer to step 7
“Making the Electrical Connections” on page 11.
Problem
Solution
□
□
□
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.
The fan will not start.
Check to make sure the dip switches from the remote control and receiver are set to the same
frequency.
□
□
□
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade arm to the motor hub are tight.
Make sure 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.
The fan sounds noisy.
If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light
bulb is also secure.
□
□
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket
and outlet box.
□
This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in excess of 190 watts will disable your
ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your light kit, you must turn the power off and relamp, keeping the
wattage under 190 watts. Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal operation.
Lights shut off and will
not come back on.
□
□
Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).
The remote control is
not working.
Check to make sure the dip switches from the remote control and receiver are set to the same
frequency.
□
□
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 each blade
to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for
each blade. Measurements deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for 10 minutes.
The fan wobbles.
□
Use the enclosed blade balancing kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
