SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1
WARNING:
• To avoid risk of electrical shock, be sure to shut off power at the main fuse or circuit breaker
panel box before installing or servicing this fixture. Turning off the electrical power by using the
light switch only is not sufficient to prevent electrical shock hazard.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount fan to an outlet box marked
“acceptable for fan support up to 35 lbs. (16 kg)” and use mounting screws provided with the
outlet box. The total weight of this fan is approximately 18 lbs. (8.2 kg).
• All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and any
applicable local codes. Electrical installation should be performed by a qualified licensed
electrician.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control
device.
• Do not bend the blade iron brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades, or
cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between rotating fan blades.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan so that the blades are at least 7 feet (2.1 meters)
above the floor and at least 30 inches (0.76 meters) from the tip of the blades to the wall.
• Check and retighten all screws, nuts, and bolts to ensure they are secured prior to operating the
fan.
• Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present.
• When changing (reversing) the blade direction, turn off the fan and wait for the fan blades to
stop completely.
• To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, do not use power tools to assemble any part of the
fan, including the 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.
• Do not use water or detergents when cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust cloth or lightly
dampened cloth is recommended to prevent scratching and will be suitable for most cleaning.
• In case this fan needs to be returned to the factory for repairs, it must be shipped in its original
carton and foam packaging to ensure proper protection against shipping damage that may
exceed the initial cause for return.
• Please read and understand these safety instructions and the installation guide before
attempting to assemble, install, or operate the fan.

6. WIRING THE FAN: SINGLE WALL SWITCH
Use the supplied wire connectors to connect the wires from the remote receiver to the power supply wires
coming out of the ceiling according to the wiring diagram and following instructions:
Connecting the remote receiver to the power supply:
• Connect the white wire from the receiver to the white wire coming from the ceiling. Secure with wire
nut.
• Connect the black wire from the receiver to the black wire coming from the ceiling. Secure with wire
nut.
• Connect all green (ground) wires together: Connect the green wire from the fan to the green wire from
the mounting bracket and the green wire from the ceiling. Secure with wire nut.
Note: The black rubber wire coming out of the receiver is the antenna. Tuck that antenna wire alongside the
inside of the top of the motor housing by the receiver so that it is out of the way when securing the motor
housing to the ceiling bracket in the next step. The antenna wire is to remain on the inside of the motor
housing. The antenna wire should not be tucked up into the ceiling outlet box.
IMPORTANT: After the connections have been made, make sure all connections are secure, and the wires do not come loose
from the wire nuts. All wiring must meet local and national building codes. If you are unfamiliar or not comfortable with wiring,
please consult a qualified electrician.

• Connect all green (ground) wires together: Connect the green wire from the fan to the green wire from
the mounting bracket and the green wire from the ceiling. Secure with wire nut.
Note: The black rubber wire coming out of the receiver is the antenna. Tuck that antenna wire alongside
the inside of the top of the motor housing by the receiver so that it is out of the way when securing the
motor housing to the ceiling bracket in the next step. The antenna wire is to remain on the inside of the
motor housing. The antenna wire should not be tucked up into the ceiling outlet box.
IMPORTANT: After the connections have been made, make sure all connections are secure, and the wires do not come loose
from the wire nuts. All wiring must meet local and national building codes. If you are unfamiliar or not comfortable with wiring,
please consult a qualified electrician.

housing. Slightly loosen the two remaining
screws.
Remove the motor housing body from the
bracket hook and swing the fan up into
place onto the ceiling bracket.
Note: When swinging the fan up onto the
bracket, be sure that the mounting hook
does not interfere with the remote receiver
or the antenna wire.
Align the two keyhole screw openings with
the two screws that have been loosened
halfway. Position the housing onto the two
screws, slide into place in the keyhole slots,
and tighten the screws. Using the remaining
two screws from the mounting bracket, line
up the other two holes in the side of the
motor housing, insert screws, and tighten
down. Confirm that upper housing is secure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REVERSE BUTTON
Use the fan reverse button, conveniently
located on the handheld remote, to
optimize your fan for seasonal
performance. Using a ceiling fan will
allow you to raise your thermostat setting
in summer and lower your thermostat
setting in winter while saving on heating
and cooling costs.
In warmer weather, set the reverse
function to put the fan blades into a
counterclockwise direction which will
result in downward airflow creating a
wind chill effect.
In cooler weather, set the reverse
function to put the fan blades into a
clockwise direction which will result in
upward airflow that can help move
stagnant, hot air off the ceiling area and
back down into the room.

TROUBLESHOOTING
FAN DOES NOT START:
• Check the circuit breaker and confirm the power is ON.
• Make sure the wall switch is ON.
• Confirm the batteries are installed correctly in the handheld remote; install fresh batteries.
• Make sure you are in the normal range for the remote control of 10’ – 20’ (3m – 6m).
• Check that the motor reversing switch is correctly engaged. With the fan running, push the
reverse switch button once and confirm that the fan stops for up to 5 seconds and then
reverses direction. If the fan has reversed direction then the switch is properly engaged.
• Confirm that the blades spin freely and that there are no obstructions between the blades or
into the motor housing.
• Turn off power at the circuit breaker and at the wall switch, unsecure the fan from the ceiling
mounting plate, put the fan onto the hook used during installation, and check that all wiring
connections from the household supply wires to the remote receiver and to the fan wires are
secure. Confirm the single black antenna wire is tucked inside the upper housing and not
pinched in the mounting plate.
FAN IS NOISY:
• Make sure all screws are snug and secure including blade screws into the motor housing,
screws into the light kit, and screws on the canopy.
• Make sure all blades are properly installed.
• Some ceiling fan motors are sensitive to solid state variable speed wall controls. If the fan is
controlled by these types of controls remove the control and replace it with a standard wall
switch to enable the remote control to operate the fan and light.
FAN WOBBLES:
• Make sure the fan mounting bracket is securely tightened to the ceiling outlet box and the
ceiling box is securely fastened to the ceiling joist or other adequate support structure.
• Make sure all blades are installed correctly, and all screws are secure. Also confirm that the two
set screws in the downrod are tight in the yoke.
• Balance the fan blades using the blade balancing kit included with the fan.
WARNING: Before beginning any troubleshooting or maintenance work always shut off the
power supply to avoid electrical shock hazard.
