Installation Preparation

Make sure the installation 
site you choose allows the 
fan blades to rotate without 
any obstruction. Allow a 
minimum clearance of 7 feet 
(2.1 meters) from the floor 
to the blades and 30 inches 
(76 cm) from the wall to the 
end of the blades. 

Your new ceiling fan 

will require a grounded 
electrical supply line of  

120 volts AC, 60 Hz,  
15 amp circuit. The outlet 

box must be securely 
anchored and capable of 
withstanding a load of  

35 lbs (15.9 ww kg).

 If you are using an outlet box for wall control installation, the  

wires coming from the wall control must be grounded using the attached green wire.
After making wire connections, the wires should be spread apart with the grounded 

conductor and the equipment-grounding conductor on one side of the outlet box and 

the ungrounded conductor on the other side of the outlet box.
The splices after being made should be turned upward and pushed carefully up  
into the outlet box.
