ETL Model No.: CF880
Electrical Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable for
Fan Support of 22.7 kg. (50 lbs.) or less”, and use
screws supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes
commonly used for support of light fixtures are not
acceptable for fan support and may need to be
replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
WARNING
!
To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions
carefully.
Any electrical work not described in these
instructions should be done or approved by a licensed
electrician.
WARNING
!
The outlet box must be securely anchored and capable
of withstanding a load of at least 50 pounds.
If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling light fixture,
turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and
remove the existing light fixture.
Ceiling fan performance and energy savings rely
heavily on the proper installation and use of the
ceiling fan. Here are a few tips to ensure quality and
product performance.
Choosing the Appropriate Mounting Location.
Ceiling fans should be installed, or mounted, in the
middle of the room and at least 7 feet above the floor
and 18 inches from the walls. If ceiling height allows,
install the fan 8 - 9 feet above the floor for optimal
airflow. Consult your Emerson Retailer for optional
mounting accessories.
Energy Efficient Use of Ceiling Fans
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round.
In the summer,
use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction.
The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-
chill effect, making you "feel" cooler. Select a fan speed
that provides a comfortable breeze, lower speeds
consume less energy. In the winter, reverse the motor
and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the
clockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft,
which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the
occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat
when using your ceiling fan - additional energy and
dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!
Turn Off When Not in the Room.
Ceiling fans cool
people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off
the ceiling fan to save energy.
