IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using misting device, basic precautions should always be
practiced including the following.
1. For electrical safety, always use a GFCI outlet to connect the
pump.
2. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse this pump
or its plug and cord in water.
3. Tubing on the ceiling needs to be fully secured away from
moving fan blades.
4. Ensure tube fittings are fully seated to prevent water leakage.
5. Do not run the water line under mats or carpeting, and do not
cover the water line with runners. Arrange the water line
away from room traffic or where it can be tripped over.
1. Tube routing on the wall may need additional clips suitable for
the installation substrate.
2. Only 25 ft. of tubing is included to account for most
installations. If extra tubing is needed it can be purchased at
the Home Depot 1/4 in. OD pressure rated tubing.
3 . To prevent hot water from misting, keep the supply hose
away from direct sunlight.
4. Installation of a multi-outlet hose manifold (sold separately) is
recommended in order to maintain use of the hose spigot for
watering and other needs.
5. A garden hose can be run from the spigot to the pump or
additional 1/4 in. OD pressure rated tubing can be used to
connect the pump to water supply if not in close proximity to
the fan.
6. Install pump at a level above the water spigot or reservoir.
7. Pump must be installed at a vertical distance < 8 ft. from the
fan.
8. Tubing needs to be crimp free. Nothing can be put on top of
the tubing, which can cause damage or prevent water flow.
Do not route in a way that tubing can be stepped on.
9. If direct connection is not available, water may be drawn from
a reservoir (not included) and an in-line filter, sold separately,
is needed to prevent particulate from entering pump and/or
clogging the nozzles.
9-1 To prevent algae or mold from entering the system, the
reservoir needs to be drained between uses. It is also
recommended the water line is drained as well.
Do not install or use within 10 ft. of a pool.
Do not use an extension cord.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock. When used outdoors,
connect pump power supply only to a covered Class A GFCI
protected receptacle that is weatherproof with the power unit
connected to the receptable. If one is not provided, contact a
qualified electrician for proper installation. Ensure that the
power unit and cord do not interfere with completely closing
the receptacle cover.
WARNING: Risk of Fire. Installtion of a covered Class A GFCI
protected receptacle involves special wiring methods to run
wiring through a building structure. Consult a qualified
electrician.
WARNING: Not for use with receptacles that are
weatherproof only when the receptacle is covered (attachment
plug cap not inserted and receptacle cover closed).

NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction
of the blade rotation.
NOTE: Not recommended to use misting feature with fan in
reverse.
REVERSE SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REVERSE SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The reverse switch is located on the surface of the switch housing.
This switch controls directions: forward (switch down) or reverse
(switch up).
Warm weather - (Counterclockwise Direction) A downward air flow
creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner
on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise Direction) An upward air flow moves
warm air off the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on
a lower setting without affecting your comfort.

MIST FEATURE EXPERIENCE
MIST FEATURE EXPERIENCE
□ The misting feature is most effective with the fan at medium speed, low outside humidity, and a light breeze. Water
accumulation from mist should be none to minimal in these conditions.
□ Using the misting feature in very high humidity will aid in cooling, but water build up on surfaces below the fan is possible.
□ At a distance from the fan, you may experience light droplets of water. This is normal to operation and can be minimized by
increasing the fan speed.
□ As with any misting system, the conditions of the environment such as temperature, wind, humidity, and proximity to the fan
affect the experience. Based on these conditions and personal preference you may need to adjust fan speed and mist run
time accordingly.

Operation - Misting Device (continued)
INITIAL OPERATION AND USE AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
INITIAL OPERATION AND USE AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
□ When first powering on the pump, air needs to evacuate from the water lines. The result will be intermittent water spitting
until all air bubbles are removed. This is normal.
□ When turning on the mist system after a period of non-use, there may be a brief plastic smell to the water from the lines.
Keeping water lines out of direct sunlight helps to prevent this.
□ When turning on the mist system after a period of non-use, the mist may be hot. Keeping water lines out of direct sunlight
helps to minimize this and the mist will cool down as fresh water enters the system.
RESERVOIR DRAWN OPERATION
RESERVOIR DRAWN OPERATION
□ If connecting to a hose spigot or plumbed water supply is not an option, it is possible to use a water reservoir (not included).
□ The reservoir needs to be clean, free from debris, and preferably have a lid that prevents air born contaminants from
entering. The reservoir also must be emptied after each use to prevent stale water and/or algae from entering the mist
system.
□ If using a reservoir, an in-line filter (not included) must also be used. Any in-line filter with 1/4 in. PTC (push-to-connect) or
compression fittings will work and can be placed directly in the reservoir.
MIST FEATURE SHUT OFF
MIST FEATURE SHUT OFF
□ When the mist system is turned off, pressure in the lines drops until the nozzle valves close. The result of this is a brief
stream of water (non-mist) coming from the nozzles. This is normal to operation and there may be a few drips of water that
accumulate on the nozzles as a result.

CLEANING THE NOZZLES
CLEANING THE NOZZLES
Check nozzle function regularly. If the nozzles lose performance or
become clogged, clean or replace the nozzles. To clean the
nozzles:
□ Remove the fan from the ceiling or unscrew mist ring cover
(MMM) from the top using a ladder. If removing from ceiling,
remove the hanger ball (RR) from the downrod (VV), and then
take out the canopy (B) and misting ring cover (D).
□ Remove nozzles (NNN) from the misting ring (E). Needle nose
pliers can be used if nozzles are stuck.
□ Soak the nozzles in white vinegar or a scale and lime remover
solution.
□ If, after soaking performance does not improve, the spring
valve nozzles (NNN) may need to be disassembled to remove
the spring (QQQ) and valve (RRR) from the inside. These may
have particulate in them causing poor nozzle performance.
□ After cleaning the nozzle, place the water tube (UU) onto the
misting ring (E) with an arrow marker (OOO).
□ Carefully reinstall the mist ring cover (MMM), being sure it
aligns with the tabs (PPP) on the mist ring cover (MMM) and
misting ring (E).
□ If cleaning does not help, replacement nozzles are available.
Call Customer Service (1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order the
replacement nozzles.

WINTERIZING
WINTERIZING
If the fan is installed in a location that will experience below freezing temperatures, the mist system must be winterized to
prevent damage.
Steps:
1. Remove the water line from the pump and allow water to drain.
□ Depress the connector rings and then pull out water line to prevent damage.
2. Using compressed air, force the rest of the water out of the mist nozzles.
□ This can be done with a blow gun tool with pressure setting above 100 psi to ensure the nozzle valves open.
□ If access to compressed air is not an option, follow the nozzle cleaning procedure except, only remove one nozzle and tilt the
fan so that water gravity drains.
3. Drain remaining water from the pump and store pump indoors ensuring it is above freezing temperature to prevent damage.

□ Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
□ Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
□ Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
□ Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade arm to the motor hub are tight.
□ Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch
housing.
□ Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this
time.
□
If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware are secured tight. Check that the light bulb is also
secure.
□
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
□
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket
and outlet box.
The fan will not start.
The fan sounds noisy.

Care and Cleaning - Fan
□ 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.
□ (Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood
blades.
□ (Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of
shoe polish.

□ Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor,
or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
□ Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has
permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.

The fan wobbles.
□
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:
- Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades, then select any fan blade and
measure from the center of the selected blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade.
Measurement deviations should be within 1/8 in..
- If all deviations are less than 1/8 in. and the fan continues to wobble, please call Customer Service
(
1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit.
- If deviation is greater than 1/8 in., please call Customer Service (
1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order
complimentary replacements of your brackets.
