Warranty
The supplier warrants the fan motor to be free from defects in workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the factory for a life-
time after the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The supplier also warrants that all other fan parts, excluding any glass or acrylic blades,
to be free from defects in workmanship and material at the time of shipment from the factory for a period of one year after the date of purchase
by the original purchaser. We agree to correct such defects without charge or at our option replace with a comparable or superior model if the
product is returned. To obtain warranty service, you must present a copy of the receipt as proof of purchase. All costs of removing and reinstall-
ing the product are your responsibility. Damage to any part, such as by accident, misuse, improper installation, or by affixing any accessories, is
not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions this warranty does not cover any changes in brass finish, including rusting,
pitting, corroding, tarnishing, or peeling. Brass finishes of this type give their longest useful life when protected from varying weather conditions.
A certain amount of “wobble” is normal and should not be considered a defect. Servicing performed by unauthorized persons shall render the
warranty invalid. There is no other express warranty. Hampton Bay hereby disclaims any and all warranties, including but not limited to those
of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose to the extent permitted by law. The duration of any implied warranty which cannot be
disclaimed is limited to the time period as specified in the express warranty. Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an implied war-
ranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. The retailer shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, or special damages arising
out of or in connection with product use or performance except as may otherwise be accorded by law. Some states do not allow the exclusion of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty supersedes all prior warranties. Shipping costs for any return of product

or personal injury, mount to an outlet box marked
“Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 kg) or less,”
and use 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.
Hanger Bar
If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting
box, then install one using the following instructions:
□
Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off
the circuit breakers.
□
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure.
Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. 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.
Outlet Box
If the canopy (C) touches the ball/downrod assembly (B), then remove
the decorative canopy bottom cover and turn the canopy (C) 180°
before attaching the canopy (C) to the mounting plate.
The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the
outlet box.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist,
you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above (available at
any Home Depot store).

Operation
A. Warm Weather
OPERATING YOUR FAN
Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan. The fan pull
chain controls the fan speed as follows:
XX
1 pull - High, 2 pulls - Medium, 3 pulls - Low, 4 pulls - off
The appropriate speed settings for warm or cool weather depends on
factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and number of fans.
The slide switch (XX) controls the direction of the blades: forward
(switch down) or reverse (switch up).
B. Cool Weather
NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction of the
blade rotation.
A. Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow creates a cooling
effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting
without affecting your comfort.
XX
B. Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow moves warm air off of the
ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting
without affecting your comfort.
14
Care and Cleaning
WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning
your fan.
□
□
Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage
the motor or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. 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.
□
□
You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a
light application of shoe polish.
You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
The fan will not start.
□
□
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 is noisy.
□
□
□
□
□
Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.
Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
Ensure the 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.
If you are using the Ceiling Fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light
bulbs are also secure.
□
□
Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box.
The fan wobbles.
□
□
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. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each
blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to
wobble please contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.
