Pre-Installation (continued) DUAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS This ceiling fan is supplied with two types of hanging assemblies: the standard ceiling installation using the downrod with ball and socket mounting, and the "close-to-ceiling" mounting. The "close-to-ceiling" mounting is recommended in rooms with less than 8 ft. ceilings or in areas where additional space is desired from the floor to the fan blades.
Installation MOUNTING OPTIONS 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 (D) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly (F), then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (E) and turn the canopy (D) 180° before attaching the canopy (D) to the mounting bracket (A).
Assembly — Standard Ceiling Mounting 1 2 Preparing the canopy □ Remove the canopy ring (C) from the canopy (D). □ Remove the two non-slotted canopy mounting screw (BB) from the canopy (D), and loosen the slotted canopy mounting screw (BB) on the canopy (D). □ Remove the canopy (D) from the mounting bracket (A) by turning the canopy (D) counterclockwise.
Assembly — Close-to-Ceiling Mounting 1 2 Preparing the canopy □ Remove the mounting bracket (A) from the canopy (D) by loosening the four canopy mounting screws (BB) on the top of the canopy (D). Remove the two non-slotted canopy mounting screws (BB) and loosen the slotted canopy mounting screws (BB). □ Remove the canopy bottom cover (E) from the canopy (D).
Assembly — Hanging the Fan 4 Attaching the fan to the electrical box WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury, mount the fan only to an outlet box or supporting system marked acceptable for fan support and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. □ Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole in the mounting bracket (A).
Assembly — Hanging the Fan (continued) 6 Making the electrical connections □ WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. Turn the wire nut connections upward, spreading them apart so the green (ground) will be on one side of the outlet box (PP) and the white, black and blue wire will be on the other side. Carefully tuck the connections up into the outlet box (PP).
Assembly — Hanging the Fan (continued) 7a 7b Standard ceiling mounting WARNING: Locking slots of the canopy (D) are provided only as an aid to mounting. Do not leave the fan assembly unattended until all four canopy mounting screws (BB) are engaged and WARNING: Make sure the tab on the mounting bracket (A) properly sits in the groove in the hanger ball (F) before attaching the canopy (D) to the mounting bracket (A) by turning the canopy (D) until it drops into place.
Assembly — Attaching the Fan Blades 8 □ Removing the rubber packing mounts The fan motor assembly (H) is shipped with rubber packing mounts (RR) to prevent movement during transportation. Remove the five rubber packing mounts (RR) from the fan motor assembly (H) and discard prior to attaching the blade arms (J).
Assembly — Attaching the Fan Blades 10 Fastening the blade assemblies to the motor WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms (J) while installing, balancing the blades (I), or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects between rotating fan blades (I). □ Fasten the blade assemblies to the fan motor assembly (H) by lining up the holes of the blade arms (J) and the motor (H).
Assembly — Installing the Light Kit 11 Attaching the light kit mounting plate to the mounting ring 12 CAUTION: Before starting installation, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse at the fuse box. Turning power off using the fan switch is not sufficient to prevent electric shock. CAUTION: Before starting installation, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse at the fuse box.
Assembly — Installing the Light Kit (continued) 13 Installing the light bulb and glass shade CAUTION: Before starting installation, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse at the fuse box. Turning power off using the fan switch is not sufficient to prevent electric shock. □ Remove the decorative nut (LL), glass cap (KK) and nut (JJ) from the light kit (L). □ Install the 2 x 9.5W LED bulb (MM) (included).
Operation PULL CHAIN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Install two pull chains and fobs (NN) onto the pull chains located in the light kit (L) and switch housing (ZZ). Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed as follows: 1 pull - High, 2 pulls - Medium high, 3 pulls - Medium, 4 pulls Low and 5 pulls - Off. Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, and number of fans.
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. □ 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.
Troubleshooting (continued) Problem Solution □ Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by loose parts). Once the fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan self-adjust. If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process: The fan wobbles.
