2-2 Cut a 4” diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the ceiling You will use
the hole to install the support brace and outlet box
Step 3 - Install a Support Brace, If Necessary
Determine if there is a ceiling joist directly above the ceiling hole If the joist is there,
determine if it is positioned to allow you to recess the outlet box a minimum of
1/16” into the ceiling If NOT, install a support brace as follows:
3-1 Attach a 2” x 4” support brace between two joists Position it to allow you to
recess the bottom of the outlet box a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling
Steps 2 – 3
3-2 Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight of the fan and
light kit
Step 4 - Install the Outlet Box
4-1 Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4” x 1-1/2” outlet box, plus two #8 x 1-1/2”
wood screws and washers, available from any hardware store or electrical supply
house

with the joist or support brace
4-3 Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood screws (5/64”)
through the inner holes of the outlet box
Step 4
4-4 Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist with two #8 x 1-1/2”
wood screws and washers e bottom of the outlet box must be recessed a
minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling
Step 5 - Prepare the Wiring

8 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
8-1 Turn on electrical power to the fan
8-2 e fan pull chain controls power to the fan e pull chain has
four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low, and Off
• Pull the chain slowly to change settings
• Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the
blades
• e chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if the
chain is jerked If this happens, simply reinsert the chain into
the connector
8-3 e light pull chain controls the power to the light fixture e
chain has two settings: ON and OFF
In warm weather, use
downward air flow pattern
8-4 Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct
breeze In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade
rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling
around the room without causing a draft
8-5 For cleaning finishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier
dust Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using
a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth You may use
an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents as they will
damage the finish
8-6 Clean wood finish blades with a furniture polishing cloth
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added
protection and beauty Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the
same manner as the fan finish
In cold weather, use upward
air flow pattern
To Change Airflow Direction
Turn the fan off and let it come to a complete
stop Slide the reversing switch on the fan to the
opposite position Restart fan

9 • Troubleshooting
Problem: Nothing happens; fan does not move.
1 Turn power on, replace fuse, or reset breaker
2 Loosen canopy, check all connections according to the wiring the fan section
3 Check the plug connection in the switch housing
4 Push motor reversing switch firmly left or right to ensure that the switch is engaged
5 Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on
6 Remove the shipping bumpers
Problem: Noisy operation.
1 Tighten the blade assembly screws and blade iron armature screws until snug
2 Check to see if the blade is cracked If so, replace all the blades
Problem: Excessive wobbling.
1 If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed balancing kit and instructions to balance the fan
2 Tighten all blade iron screws
3 Turn power off, support fan very carefully, and check that the hanger ball is properly seated
Problem: Lights shut off suddenly, but fan is still operating
1 Check to make sure the wattage and type of the light bulbs that are installed meet the specifications on
the MAX wattage sticker affixed to the light socket
2 Turn the power to the fan off at the wall switch Wait 5 minutes, then resume power to the fan
Problem: CFL bulbs flicker when controlled by a dimming remote or wall control
1 CFL light bulbs are not usually made for dimming Replace the CFL bulbs with dimmable light bulbs, or
install the fan in a location without a dimming control
