Pre-Installation (continued) PACKAGE CONTENTS A B C D E F G H I Part Description Quantity Part Description Quantity F Blade 5 A Mounting bracket (preassembled) 1 B Canopy 1 G Blade arm 5 C Canopy bottom cover (preassembled) 1 H Light kit 1 D Hanger ball/downrod assembly 1 I Glass shade 3 E Fan motor assembly 1 6
Installation MOUNTING OPTIONS NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (C) and turn the canopy (B) 180° before attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting bracket (A).
Assembly 1 2 Preparing the canopy □ Remove the canopy bottom cover (C) from the canopy (B) by turning the canopy bottom cover (C) counterclockwise. □ Remove the mounting bracket (A) from the canopy (B) by removing the non-slotted mounting bracket screw (EE) from the bottom of the canopy (B) and loosening the slotted mounting bracket screw (EE) a half turn from the screw head. Next, turn the canopy (B) counterclockwise to remove the mounting bracket (A) from the canopy (B).
Assembly — Hanging the Fan 4 5 Installing the mounting bracket to the electrical box Hanging the fan to the mounting bracket WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury, mount the fan only to an outlet box or supporting system marked acceptable for fan support and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box. □ Pass the 120-volt supply wires through the center hole in the mounting bracket (A).
Assembly — Hanging the Fan (continued) 6 Making the electrical connections OO WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. PP WARNING: Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire nuts (except for the ground wire). QQ MM BB Follow the steps below to connect the fan to your household wiring. Use the plastic wire nuts (BB) with your fan.
Assembly — Hanging the Fan (continued) 7 8 Installing the canopy □ WARNING: Make sure the tab on the mounting bracket (A) properly sits in the groove in the hanger ball (D) before attaching the canopy (B) to the mounting bracket (A) by turning the canopy housing until it drops into place. □ Tuck the connections neatly into the ceiling outlet box.
Assembly — Attaching the Fan Blades 9 □ Removing the rubber packing mounts Attaching the blades to the blade arms 10 The fan motor assembly (E) is shipped with rubber packing mounts (VV) to prevent movement during transportation. Remove the five rubber packing mounts (VV) from the fan motor assembly and discard prior to attaching the blade arms. □ Attach the blades (F) to the blade arms (G) using the three blade attachment screws and fiber washers (AA).
Assembly — Installing the Light Kit 12 Attaching the light kit to the switch housing 13 CAUTION: Before starting installation, disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse at the fuse box. Turning power off using the fan switch is not sufficient to prevent electric shock. □ While holding the light kit (H) under your fan motor assembly (E), locate two single white and blue wires in the switch housing labeled "FOR LIGHT".
Operation PULL CHAIN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Install two pull chains and fobs (KK) onto the pull chains located in the switch housing and light kit (H). Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan. The pull chain controls the fan speed as follows: 1 pull - High, 2 pulls - Medium, 3 pulls - Low, and 4 pulls - Off. H Speed settings for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, number of fans.
Care and Cleaning Do □ Do not 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.
Troubleshooting (continued) Problem Solution □ Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure. □ Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure from a point on the center of each blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. Measurements deviation should be within 1/8 inch. Run the fan for ten minutes.
