(15.9 kg) or less and use the 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 its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35 lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box. The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the outlet box. NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30 away from horizontal. Hanger Bar Outlet Box If the canopy (C) touches the ball/downrod assembly (B), then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover and turn the canopy (C) 180 before attaching the canopy (C) to the mounting plate. To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above
(available at any Home Depot store).

If you have two of the same model fans in your home, please follow the steps below to control each fan independently. 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. Remove the battery cover by pressing firmly on the arrow and sliding the cover off. Install two 1.5V AAA batteries (included). 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.

Cool weather 14 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. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. 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. Solution Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers. Check to make sure the wall switch is in the on position if applicable. Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing. Check the battery in the transmitter. Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 feet. Ensure the dip switch settings are the same on the transmitter and receiver. Remember to turn off the power supply before checking the dip switches 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 bracket and outlet box. 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. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8. 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. This is normal start-up procedure for DC motor fans. The partial movement during start-up is the result of the DC motor aligning the internal magnetic poles for proper motor operation. This design saves electricity and allows the fan to operate much quieter than standard AC motor fans. The fan is noisy. The fan wobbles. The fan moves backwards and forwards when turned on. 15 Questions, problems, missing parts?
