How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan

If you feel that you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a 

licensed electrician. 

To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity

is  turned  off  at  the  main  fuse  box  before  hanging

(Figure 10).

WARNING

NOTE: 

If  you  are  not  sure  if  the  outlet  box  is

grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice, as

it must be grounded for safe operation.

NOTE: 

The  hand-held  remote  included  with  this  fan

has  16  different  code  combinations.  To  prevent

possible  interference  from  or  to  other  remote  units,

simply  change  the  combination  code  in  your

transmitter and receiver.

1.

To  set  the  transmitter  code,  remove  battery  cover

by  pressing  firmly  below  arrow  and  sliding  cover

off.  Slide  code  switches  to  your  choice  of  up  or

down position. Factory setting is all up. Do not use

this position. With a small screwdriver or ball point

pen slide firmly up or down. Replace battery cover

on the transmitter (Figure 11).

2.

To  set  the  receiver  unit  code,  slide  code  switches

to  the  same  positions  as  set  on  your  transmitter

(Figure 12).

3.

Slide  the  receiver  unit  into  the  open  end  of  the

hanger bracket (Figure 13).
