USER GUIDE LED CEILING FAN
1. Turn off circuit breakers and wall switch to the fan supply line leads.
DANGER: Failure to disconnect power supply prior to installation may result in serious injury or death.
2. Determine mounting method to use.
A. Downrod mount (standard or angled ceiling)
B. Closemount (standard ceiling only)
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, check to make sure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
*Helpful Hint: Downrod-style mounting is best suited for ceilings 8 ft. or higher. For taller ceilings you may want to use a longer downrod (not included). Angle-style mounting is best suited for angled or vaulted ceilings. A longer downrod is sometimes necessary to ensure proper blade clearance. Closemount mounting is more suitable for ceilings lower than 8 ft. high.
3. Check to make sure blades (J) will be at least 30 in. from any obstruction and at least 7 ft. above the floor.
4. Temporarily raise canopy (B) to mounting bracket (C) and determine which 2 canopy mounting screws (G) align with slotted holes in canopy (B). Partially loosen these 2 canopy mounting screws (G) and remove the other two; save for later use.
5. Remove 6 motor screws (H) and 6 lock washers (I) from top of motor housing (D). Remove the yoke plate and top plate from motor housing (D)
6. Slide one blade (J) through one of the rectangular openings on center band of motor housing (D). Align holes in blade (J) with holes in blade arm located inside of motor. Attach blade (J) with 3 blade screws (AA) and fiber washers (BB). Repeat for remaining blades (J).
Note: Make sure to completely secure each blade (J) before proceeding to the next.
7. Reattach top plate and yoke plate to motor housing (D) with lock washers (I) and motor screws (H) previously removed in Step 5.
8. Secure mounting bracket (C) to outlet box (not included) using screws, spring washers and flat washers provided with the outlet box.
*NOTE: It is very important you use the proper hardware when installing the mounting bracket (C) as this will support the fan.
IMPORTANT: If using the angle mount, make sure open end of mounting bracket (C) is installed facing the higher point of the ceiling, and ensure the ceiling angle is not steeper than 19°.
1a. Remove pin (L) and clip (M) from downrod (A).
1b. Partially loosen preassembled set screws and nuts in yoke at top of motor housing (D).
2. Insert downrod (A) through canopy (B), and yoke cover (E). Thread wires from motor housing (D) up through downrod (A).
3. Slip downrod (A) into yoke, align holes and re-install pin (L) and clip (M). Tighten set screws and then tighten nuts. Slide yoke cover (E) down until it rests on top of motor housing (D).
4. Depending on the length of downrod you use, you may need to cut the lead wires back to simplify the wiring. If you decide to cut back the lead wires, it is suggested you do so in the following manner:
Take the lead wires and make sure you have pulled them all the way through the top of the downrod. Start at the TOP of the hanging ball on the downrod and measure 8 in. of lead wire, and then cut the excess wire off with wire cutters (not included).
NOTE: If you do not cut back the lead wires, Steps 4 and 5 are not necessary and you may proceed to Step 6 instead.
5. If you cut back the lead wires in Step 4, strip 1/2 in. of insulation from end of each wire -- WHITE, BLACK, GREEN and BLUE. Twist stripped ends of each strand of wire within the insulation with pliers (not included).
6. Install hanging ball of downrod (A) into opening of mounting bracket (C). Align one of the slots in hanging ball with the tab in mounting bracket (C).
DANGER: Failure to align slot in hanging ball with the tab in mounting bracket (C) may result in serious injury or death.
Continue to WIRING.
1. Remove preassembled canopy cover from bottom of canopy (B). NOTE: Turn canopy cover to the left (counterclockwise) to remove from canopy (B).
NOTE: The downrod (A), yoke cover (E) and canopy cover are not used in this type of installation.
2. Remove every other motor screw (H) and lock washer (I) from top of motor housing (D).
3. Pull wires up through hole in the middle of the canopy (B). Align larger holes in canopy (B) with 3 screws in top of motor housing (D). Attach canopy (B) to motor housing (D) using the three motor screws (H) and lock washers (I) previously removed.
4. Temporarily hang fan on the tab on the mounting bracket (C) using one of the non-slotted holes in the canopy (B).
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.
1. Make the necessary wiring connections for remote control operation as detailed below and in the figure. For each wire connection, use one of the wire connectors (CC), making sure to screw wire connector (CC) on in a clockwise direction.
CAUTION: Assistance from another person is recommended for this step.
Connect all GROUND (GREEN) wires from fan (on downrod (A), if applicable, and mounting bracket (C)) to BARE/GREEN supply wire from ceiling.
Connect BLACK wire (labeled AC IN L) from remote control receiver (O) to BLACK supply wire from ceiling.
Connect WHITE wire (labeled AC IN N) from remote control receiver (O) to WHITE supply wire from ceiling.
Connect WHITE wire (labeled TO MOTOR N) from remote control receiver (O) to WHITE wire from motor housing (D).
Connect BLACK wire (labeled TO MOTOR L) from remote control receiver (O) to BLACK wire from motor housing (D).
Connect BLUE wire (labeled FOR LIGHT) from remote control receiver (O) to BLUE wire from motor housing (D).
2. Wrap electrical tape (not included) around each individual wire connector (CC) down to the wire.
WARNING: Make sure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after making connections. Place GREEN and WHITE connections on opposite side of the outlet box from the BLACK and BLUE (if applicable) connections.
3. Gently slide remote control receiver (O) flat-side up into mounting bracket (C). Turn spliced/taped wires upward and gently push wires and wire connectors (CC) into outlet box. Let antenna from remote control receiver (O) hang to the side.
NOTE: The remote control included with this fan meets the following requirements:
Should you choose to use a different remote control with this fan, it must also meet these same requirements.
1. Lift canopy (B) to mounting bracket (C) again, aligning slotted holes in canopy (B) with loosened canopy mounting screws (G) in mounting bracket (C). Twist canopy (B) clockwise to lock. Re-insert the two canopy mounting screws (G) previously removed (Step 4, page 6) and tighten all canopy mounting screws (G) securely.
2. Align slots on glass shade (K) with protrusions on underside of motor housing (D). Turn glass shade (K) clockwise until it no longer turns.
NOTE: Pull down gently on the glass shade (K) to make sure it is secured completely
3. If you wish to use the remote control bracket from remote pack (P), install screws from remote pack (P) through bracket and into the desired installation site. The remote control transmitter from remote pack (P) rests inside the bracket.
CAUTION: The remote control transmitter can be programmed to multiple receivers or fans. If this is not desired, turn wall switch off to any other programmable receiver or fan.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
1. Remove battery cover from back of remote control transmitter in remote pack (P). Install battery from remote pack (P) with positive (+) end toward top of remote control transmitter.
Replace battery cover on remote control transmitter.
WARNING: Choking Hazard - Small parts. Keep battery away from children.
CAUTION: “DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE, BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.” - When disposing of household alkaline batteries, it is best to check with your local and state recycling or household hazardous waste coordinators concerning the specifics of the program in your area. You may also locate a recycling center by calling 1-800-8-BATTERY or 1-877-2-RECYCLE or visit www.epa.gov/epawaste/index.htm or www.earth911.org for more information.
2. Restore electrical power. Within 30 seconds of restoring electrical power, press and hold the “0” button on the remote control transmitter for 5 seconds or until light on the fan blinks twice. Use the remote control transmitter to test the light and fan functions to confirm the learning process is complete.
NOTE: Remove protective covering from front of remote control transmitter and discard.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to remote control transmitter, remove the battery if not used for long periods. Store the remote control transmitter away from excess heat or humidity.
3. Operation buttons on the panel of the remote control transmitter:
3 button for fan HIGH speed
2 button for fan MEDIUM speed
1 button for fan LOW speed
0 button to turn fan OFF
button to turn light ON or OFF
Tap button quickly to turn lights off or on. Hold button down to increase or decrease lights. If you press button in excess of 0.7 seconds, it becomes a dimmer. The lights vary cyclically in 8 seconds. The light button has an auto resume function, which keeps the light at the same brightness as the last time it was turned off.
NOTE: Most CFLs are NOT compatible for use with dimmer controls.
4. Use the fan reverse switch on the switch housing 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 (J) come to a complete stop before manually activating the reverse switch.
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.
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.
At least twice each year, lower canopy (B) to check downrod (A) assembly, and then tighten all screws on fan. Clean motor housing (D) with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Clean blades (J) with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to wood blades for added protection.
IMPORTANT: Shut off main power supply before beginning any maintenance. Do not use water or a damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
