thermostat setting in summer and lower your thermostat
setting in winter without feeling a dierence in your
comfort.
In warmer weather, push the reverse switch down which
will result in downward airow creating a wind chill eect.
In cooler weather, push the reverse switch up which will
result in upward airow that can help move stagnant, hot
air o the ceiling area.
Important: Wait for the fan to stop before moving the
reverse switch. The reverse switch must be set either
completely up or down in order for the fan to function
correctly. If the reverse switch is set in the middle position,
the fan will not operate.

PROBLEM SUGGESTED REMEDY
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have diculty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation or
wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please
check the Troubleshooting section below. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing diculty in
installation, please contact the Service Department: 1-877-706-3267, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Central, Monday - Friday.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock or personal injury, shut o the power supply to fan before
you begin any maintenance tasks.
1. Fan does not start:
1. Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON.
2. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
3. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
4. Make sure forward/reverse switch pushed completely up or down. Fan will not operate
when switch is in the middle.
1. Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug, but not overtightened.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the blade arms to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall
of the switch housing.
4. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT
USE a Solid State variable speed control.

balancing kit.
5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can
redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.
1. Check for loose or disconnected 9-pin and/or single-pin connectors in switch housing or
light kit.
2. Ensure the blue wire from fan is connected to hot power supply wire.
3. Check for faulty light bulbs.
4. Ensure total wattage of bulbs does not exceed 180 watts (for incandescent bulbs only).
