Safety Rules - Read and Save These Instructions

To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure electricity has been turned off

at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.

All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code

“ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” and local electrical codes. Electrical installation

should be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not use this

fan with any solid-state fan speed control device. It will permanently

damage the electronic circuitry.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the screws

provided with the outlet box.

The outlet box and support structure must be securely mounted and

capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35 pounds. Use only UL

Listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN SUPPORT”.

The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 feet clearance from the

trailing edge of the blades to the floor.

Avoid placing objects in path of the blades.

To avoid personal injury or damage to the fan and other items, be

cautious when working around or cleaning the fan.

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.

After making 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 and ungrounded conductor on the

other side of the outlet box.

All set screws must be checked and retightened where necessary before

installation.
