OWNER'S GUIDE WAVEPORT STYLE CEILING FAN
PREPARATION
- Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Place motor on carpet or on foam to avoid damage to finish. Compare parts with package contents list and hardware contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.
- Estimated Assembly Time: 120 minutes
- Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Electrical Tape, Phillips Screwdriver, Pliers, Safety Glasses, Stepladder and Wire Strippers
- Helpful Tools (not included): AC Tester Light, Tape Measure, Do-It-Yourself Wiring Handbook and Wire Cutters
INITIAL INSTALLATION
1. Turn off circuit breakers and wall switch to the fan supply line leads.
DANGER: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death
2. Determine mounting method to use.
- Downrod mount (standard or angled ceiling)
- Closemount (standard ceiling only)
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, check to make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
*Helpful Hint: Downrod-style mounting is best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer downrod (not included). Angle-style mounting is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance. Closemount mounting is more suitable for ceilings lower than 8 ft. high.
3. Check to make sure blades (G) will be at least 30 in. from any obstruction and at least 7 ft. above the floor.
4a. Loosen canopy mounting screws (K) in slotted holes of canopy (B) and remove the other two canopy mounting screws (K); save for later use. Remove mounting bracket (C) from canopy (B).
4b. Secure mounting bracket (C) to outlet box (not included) using screws, spring washers and flat washers provided with the outlet box.
- *NOTE: It is very important you use the proper hardware when installing the mounting bracket (C) as this will support the fan.
- IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, make sure open end of mounting bracket (C) is installed facing the higher point of the ceiling, and ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
5. Remove motor screws (J) and motor washers (R) from underside of motor housing (D). [If there are plastic motor blocks installed with the motor screws (J) and motor washers (R), discard the plastic motor blocks.]
- For DOWNROD-STYLE FAN MOUNTING, proceed to step 1 below.
- For CLOSEMOUNT-STYLE FAN MOUNTING, skip to page 9.
DOWNROD-STYLE FAN MOUNTING
1a. Remove pin (L) and clip (M) from downrod (A).
1b. Partially loosen preassembled set screws and nuts in yoke at top of motor housing (D).
2. Insert downrod (A) through canopy (B), and yoke cover (E). Thread wires from motor housing (D) up through downrod (A).
3. Slip downrod (A) into yoke, align holes and re-install pin (L) and clip (M). Tighten downrod (A) set screws and then tighten nuts. Slide yoke cover (E) down until it rests on top of motor housing (D).
4. Depending on the length of downrod you use, you may need to cut the lead wires back to simplify the wiring. If you decide to cut back the lead wires, it is suggested you do so in the following manner: Take the lead wires and make sure you have pulled them all the way through the top of the downrod. Start at the TOP of the hanging ball on the downrod and measure 8 in. of lead wire, and then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters (not included). NOTE: If you do not cut back the lead wires, Steps 4 and 5 are not necessary and you may proceed to Step 6 instead.
5. If you cut back the lead wires in Step 4, strip 1/2 in. of insulation from end of of each wire -- white, black, green and blue (if applicable). Twist stripped ends of each strand of wire within the insulation with pliers (not included).
6. Install hanging ball of downrod (A) into opening of mounting bracket (C). Align the slot in hanging ball with the tab in mounting bracket (C). DANGER: Failure to align slot in hanging ball with the tab in mounting bracket (C) may result in serious injury or death.
CLOSEMOUNT-STYLE FAN MOUNTING
1. Remove preassembled canopy cover from bottom of canopy (B). [NOTE: It may be necessary to use the handle end of a screwdriver (not included) to remove the canopy cover by tapping on the canopy cover from the inside of the canopy (B).] NOTE: The downrod (A), yoke cover (E) and canopy cover are not used in this type of installation.
2. Remove every other motor screw (J) and motor washer (R) from top of motor housing (D).
3. Pull wires up through hole in the middle of the canopy (B) and attach canopy (B) to motor housing (D) using the three motor screws (J) and motor washers (R) previously removed.
4. Temporarily hang fan on the tab on the mounting bracket (C) using one of the non-slotted holes in the canopy (B).
WIRING
- WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The fan pull chain labled FAN has four positions to control fan speed. One pull is HIGH, two is MEDIUM, three is LOW and four turns the fan OFF.
2. If applicable, the light pull chain labled LIGHT is used to turn the light ON or OFF.
3. Use the fan reverse switch on the switch housing (S) to optimize your fan for seasonal performance.
A ceiling fan will allow you to raise your thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat setting in winter without feeling a difference in your comfort.
NOTE: Wait for fan to stop before moving the reverse switch. WARNING: Do NOT remove weatherproof cover on the reverse switch.
- 3a. In warmer weather, setting the reverse switch in the LEFT position will result in downward airflow creating a wind chill effect.
- 3b. In cooler weather, setting the reverse switch in the RIGHT position will result in upward airflow that can help move stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area.
- 3c. IMPORTANT: Reverse switch must be set either completely LEFT or completely RIGHT for fan to function. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position, fan will not operate.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- At least twice each year, lower canopy (B) to check downrod (A) assembly, and then tighten all screws on fan. Clean motor housing (D) with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Clean blades (G) with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to wood blades for added protection. IMPORTANT: Shut off main power supply before beginning any maintenance. Do not use water or a damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
