(available at any Home Depot store). Installation MOUNTING OPTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 Kg) or less, and use screws provided with the outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting box, then install one using the following instructions:

Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off the circuit breakers. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 lbs. (15.9kg). Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked Acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. (15.9 Kg) or less Do not use a plastic outlet box. The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the outlet box.

Preparing the Remote Control Pairing the Remote Control NOTE: The remote control has already been paired to the ceiling fan for your convenience. If you have two of the same model fans in your home, please follow the steps below to control each fan independently. Slide the dip switch in the battery compartment to the 1 setting. Confirm that the power to the fan is off at either the wall switch or breaker box. Return power to the fan at the wall switch or breaker box. Press and release the Learn button located in the remotes battery compartment within 30 seconds. If pairing is successful, the fans light kit will flash and the blades will begin to spin. Setting the light function on your remote NOTE: The battery will weaken with age and should be replaced before leaking takes place as this will damage the remote control. Dispose of used battery properly and keep the battery out of the reach of children. NOTE: The switch marked ON/DIM controls the dimming function of the lights: If using non-dimmable bulbs, use a ballpoint pen or small screwdriver to set the switch to ON to disable the dimming function. If using dimmable bulbs, set the switch to DIM to enable the dimming function. Remove the battery cover by pressing firmly on the arrow and sliding the cover off. If your fan is equipped with a light kit and using dimmable bulbs, slide the dip switch from on to dim (for non-dimmable bulbs, the dip switch must be set to on). Install two 1.5V AAA batteries (included). Replace the battery cover on the remote control. 12 R O D A L U G E R I O D D N E C N E 1 0 R E D N E R P A 1 0 N R A E L 1 0 N R A E L R O D A L U G E R I O D D N E C N E 1 0 R E D N E R P A 1 0 N R A E L Operating Your Fan and Remote Control 1.

Remote Control - Your fan is equipped with a remote control to operate the speed and lights of your new ceiling fan. Speed setting for warm or cool weather depend on factors such as the room size, ceiling height, number of fans and so on. A. Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow creates a cooling ef-

fect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort. B. Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow moves warm air off of the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort. NOTE: Do not wait for the fan to stop before pressing the reverse button. The fan will not reverse direction if the fan is not moving. 14 A. Warm weather B. Cool weather 25.400 25.400 Care and Cleaning WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan. Because of the fans natural movement, some connections may become loose. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish. You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings. Troubleshooting Problem The fan will not start. The fan is noisy. Solution 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. Check the battery in the remote control. Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 feet. Remember to turn off the power supply before checking the dip switch settings. Ensure all motor housing screws are snug. Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight. Ensure the 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 you are using the Ceiling Fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulbs are also secure. Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling. Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box. The fan wobbles. 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 the blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement, and measure from the same point on each blade to the ceiling. Repeat for each blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to wobble please contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge. 15 HOMEDEPOT.COM/HOMEDECORATORSPlease contact 1-800-986-3460 for further assistance.
