REMEMBER

 to turn off the power. Follow the 

steps below to hang your fan properly.

NOTE:

 This ceiling fan is supplied with two types 

of hanging assemblies; the standard ceiling 
installation using the downrod with ball and socket 
mounting, and the "close-to-ceiling" mounting. 
The "close-to-ceiling" mounting is recommended 
in rooms with less than 8-foot ceilings or in areas 
where additional space is desired from the floor to 
the fan blades.

When using the standard downrod installation, the 
distance from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan 
blades will be approximately 12 inches. The 
"close-to-ceiling" installation reduces the distance 
from the ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades to 
approximately 9 inches.

Once you have decided which ceiling installation 
you will use, proceed with the following 
instructions. Where necessary, each section of the 
instructions will note the different procedures to 
follow for the two types of installation.
