DANGER
When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building
structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious injury or
death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after
installation is complete.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble any part of the
fan, including the blades.
SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not discard fan carton or foam inserts. Should this fan need to be returned to the factory for
repairs, it must be shipped in its original packaging to ensure proper protection against damage that
might exceed the initial cause for return.
• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical
Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a do-it-yourself wiring
handbook, available at Lowe's, if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the
floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction.
• After you install the fan, make sure all connections are secure to prevent the fan from falling.
• The net weight of this fan including the light kit is: 20.29 lbs.
SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. OR LESS" and use
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.
When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box; do NOT use a
plastic outlet box. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its
support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.).
To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp
edges.
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.
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the fan with any solid-state speed control
device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, do not bend the blades when
installing or balancing them, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the rotating fan
blades.
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.
Before proceeding, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to
avoid electrical shock.
WARNING
Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present.
Before beginning installation, carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to
ensure that they are secured.
Do NOT tamper with or attempt to repair LED component. 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.
CAUTION
IMPORTANT REMINDER: You must use the
parts provided with this fan for proper installation
and safety.

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.
CAUTION: Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground (green or bare) wire is
present.
WARNING: If house wires are different colors than referred to in the following steps, stop
immediately. A professional electrician is recommended to determine wiring.
WARNING: Using a full range dimmer switch (not included) to control fan speed will cause a loud
humming noise from fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do NOT use a full range dimmer
switch to control fan speed.

4c. 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.
4a. In warmer weather, setting the reverse switch
in the LEFT position will result in downward airflow
creating a wind chill effect.
4b. 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.
4.
Use the fan reverse switch, located on the motor
housing (D), to optimize the 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.
CAUTION: Turn fan off at wall switch and let
blades (I) come to a complete stop before manually
activating the reverse switch.
