SAFETY TIPS.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn off the electricity to the fan at the main fuse box or circuit panel
before you begin the fan installation or before servicing the fan or installing accessories.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FAN AND
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
2. Make sure all electrical connections comply with Local Codes or Ordinances, the National Electrical Code, and
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. If you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring or if the house/building wires are different colors
than those referred to in the instructions, please use a qualified electrician.
3. Make sure you have a location selected for your fan that allows clear space for the blades to rotate, and at least
seven (7) feet (2.13 meters) of clearance between the floor and the fan blade tips. The fan should be mounted
so that the tips of the blades are at least thirty (30) inches (76 centimeters) from walls or other upright
structures.
4. The outlet box and ceiling support joist used must be securely mounted, and capable of supporting at least 35
pounds (16 kilograms). The box must be supported directly by the building structure. Use only CETL or CUL (in
Canada) or ETL or UL (in USA) listed outlet boxes marked "FOR FAN SUPPORT."
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to the outlet box marked "Acceptable for
Fan Support of 15.9 kg (35 lb) or less" and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes
commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced.
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
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.
5. Electrical diagrams are for reference only.
6. After installation is complete, check that all connections are absolutely secure.
7. 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 opposite sides of the outlet box.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire and to prevent humming noise do not use this fan with any solid
state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. [Using a full range dimmer switch to
control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from fan.]
8. Do not operate the reverse switch until the fan has come to a complete stop.
9. Do not insert anything between the fan blades while they are rotating.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arms during assembly or after installation. Do not
insert objects into the path of the blades.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be cautious when working around or cleaning
the fan.
10. 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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than
those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
CAUTION: Do NOT tamper with or attempt to repair LED component of light kit. The light source is designed for this specific
application and should not be serviced by untrained personnel. If any servicing is required, call our customer service
department.
11. Light kit is dimmable to 10% with select dimmers.
