breaker or fuse box before beginning.

2.  All wiring must be in accordance with the 

National Electrical Code and local electrical 
codes. Electrical installation should be 
performed by a qualified licensed 
electrician.

WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of electrical 

shock and fire, do not use this fan with any 
solid-state fan speed control device.

4. 

WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of personal 

injury, use only the two steel screws (and 
lock washers) provided with the outlet box 
for mounting to the outlet box. Most outlet 
boxes commonly used for the support of 
lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan 
support and may need to be replaced, 
consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

5.  The outlet box and support structure must 

be securely mounted and capable of 
reliably supporting a minimum of 50 
pounds. Use only CUL Listed outlet boxes 
marked 

"FOR FAN SUPPORT"

.

6. The fan must be mounted with a minimum 

of 7 feet clearance from the trailing edge of 
the blades to the floor.

7.  Do not operate reversing switch while fan 

blades are in motion. Fan must be turned 
off and blades stopped before reversing 
blade  direction.

8. Avoid placing objects in the path of the 

blades.

9.    To avoid personal injury or damage to the 

fan and other items, be cautious when 
working around or cleaning the fan.

10. Do not use water or detergents when 

cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust 
cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be 
suitable for most cleaning.

11.  After marking electrical connections, spliced 

conductors should be turned upward and 
pushed carefully up into outlet box. The 
wires should be spread apart with the 
grounded conductor and the equipment- 
grounding conductor on one side of the 
outlet box.

12.  Electrical diagrams are reference only. Light 

kit that are not packed with the fan must be 
CUL Listed and marked suitable for use with 
the model fan you are installing. Switches 
must be CUL General Use Switches. Refer to

ATTENTION

 

Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, 

federal regulations require all ceiling fans 

with light kits manufactured or imported 

after January 1, 2009, to limit the total 

wattage consumed by the light kit to 190 

watts. Therefore, this product is equipped 

with a 190W limiting device. If lamping 

exceeds 190 watts, the light kit will shut 

off automatically until the proper wattage 

of bulbs are installed. Reset the light kit by 

turning it off, replacing the bulbs with the 

correct wattage, and then turning the 

light kit back on.
