4 • Wiring the Fan
All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical
codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a
qualified electrician.
Wall switches are not included. Select an acceptable general-use switch
in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
4-1. Disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the
outlet box and associated wall switch location.
4-2. Decide how you want to set up the fan and light controls. You
can control the fan and/or lights together or separately using one
or two wall switches. Follow Step 4-3
OR
Step 4-4, depending on
what you decide.
Note:
If you are not installing a light kit, follow step 4-4.
4-3. If you want to, you can control the fan and light separately using
two wall switches, connect the wires as follows:
• The bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green
ground wire from the ceiling plate and the green ground wire
from the fan
• The white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• The black wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan
• The black/white wire from the fan to the wire for the wall
switch
4-4. Alternatively, you can control both fan and light with one switch.
To do so connect the wires as follows:
• The bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green
ground wire from the ceiling plate and the green ground wire
from the fan
• The white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• The black wire from the ceiling to the black and the black/
white wire from the fan
4-5. To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place
a wire nut over them, then twist clockwise until tight.
CAUTION:
Be sure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after
making connections.
4-6. Push all wires and wire nuts back through the ceiling plate hole
into the outlet box.
