Safety Information

□Read and save these instructions.

□To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure 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.

□The outlet box and support structure must be securely

mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35

lbs. Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked “FOR FAN

□The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft. clearance

from the trailing edge of the blades to the ﬂoor.

□Avoid placing objects in the 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 the

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 the ungrounded conductor

on the other side of the outlet box.

□All setscrews must be checked and retightened where

necessary before installation.

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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not

bend the blade arms (also referred to as ﬂanges), when

installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning the

fan.

WARNING: Do not insert foreign objects between rotating

fan blades.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or

personal injury, mount the fan to the outlet box marked

acceptable for fan support with the screws provided with the

outlet box.

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

the screws provided with the outlet box.

NOTICE: This fan includes a 190W limiter to comply with the

Department of Energy 2009 regulation. Lamping this product over

Pre-Installation (continued)

DUAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

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 ft. 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 in. The

"close-to-ceiling" installation reduces the distance from the ceiling to the

bottom of the fan blades to approximately 9 in.

Once you have decided which ceiling installation you will use, refer to the

corresponding sections and procedures during the assembly period.

Where necessary, each section of the instructions will note the different

procedures to follow for the two types of installation.

Standard Ceiling Mounting

Close-to-Ceiling Mounting

HOMEDEPOT.COM/HOMEDECORATORS

Please contact 1-800-527-0998 for further assistance.

To hang your fan where there is an existing ﬁxture but no ceiling

joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (UU) (not included)

as shown above.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting

box, then install one using the following instructions:

□Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off

the circuit breakers.

□Secure the outlet box (TT) (not included) directly to the

building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials

(not included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able

to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35

lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the

outlet box (TT) (not included).

Installation

MOUNTING OPTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, or

personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked

acceptable for fan support using the screws provided with the

outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of

lighting ﬁxtures may not be acceptable for fan support and

may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualiﬁed

electrician.

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper

blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.

The maximum angle allowable is 18° away from horizontal. If

the canopy (C) touches the hanger ball/downrod assembly (E),

then remove the decorative canopy bottom cover (D) and turn

the canopy (C) 180° before attaching the canopy (C) to the

mounting bracket (A).

downrod (WW), being sure that cross pin (NN) is in

correct position, setscrews (OO) are tightened and

wires are not twisted.

WARNING: Failure to properly install the cotter pin (LL)

could result in the fan loosening and possibly falling.

NOTE: If a longer downrod (not included) is needed, take

out the screw located in the hanger ball, lower the hanger

ball and remove the pin. Remove all three pieces from the

downrod and assemble them onto the new longer downrod

before proceeding to the downrod installation. B
