1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure the electricity has

been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before you

begin.

2. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical

Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and local electrical codes. Electrical

installation should be performed by a qualied licensed

electrician.

3. The outlet box and support structure must be securely

mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of

50 lbs. (22.7 kg). Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked

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

use caution when working around or cleaning the fan.

7. 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.

8. All set screws must be checked and retightened where

necessary before installation.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury,

do not bend the blade brackets (also referred to as

connections. Optional use of any light kit shall be

UL-listed and marked suitable for use with this fan.

WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock,

turn the electricity off at the main fuse box before

wiring knowledge or experience, contact a licensed

electrician.

Warranty

The supplier warrants the fan motor to be free from defects in workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the factory for a life-

time after the date of purchase by the original purchaser. The supplier also warrants that all other fan parts, excluding any glass or acrylic blades,

to be free from defects in workmanship and material at the time of shipment from the factory for a period of two years after the date of purchase

by the original purchaser. We agree to correct such defects without charge or at our option replace with a comparable or superior model if the

product is returned. To obtain warranty service, you must present a copy of the receipt as proof of purchase. All costs of removing and reinstalling

the product are your responsibility. Damage to any part such as by accident or misuse or improper installation or by afxing any accessories, is

not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions this warranty does not cover any changes in brass nish, including rusting,

pitting, corroding, tarnishing, or peeling. Brass nishes of this type give their longest useful life when protected from varying weather condi-

tions. A certain amount of “wobble” is normal and should not be considered a defect. Servicing performed by unauthorized persons shall render

the warranty invalid. There is no other express warranty. Home Decorators Collection hereby disclaims any and all warranties, including but not

limited to those of merchantability and tness for a particular purpose to the extent permitted by law. The duration of any implied warranty which

cannot be disclaimed is limited to the time period as specied in the express warranty. Some states do not allow a limitation on how long an im-

plied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. The retailer shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, or special damages

arising out of or in connection with product use or performance except as may otherwise be accorded by law. Some states do not allow the exclu-

sion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives specic legal rights,

and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty supersedes all prior warranties. Shipping costs for any return of

Installation

MOUNTING OPTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock

or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked

“Acceptable for fan support of 50 lbs. (22.7 kg)

or less”, and use screws provided with the outlet

box. An outlet box commonly used for the support

of lighting xtures may not be acceptable for fan

support and may need to be replaced. If in doubt,

consult a qualied electrician.

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 directly to the building structure. Use

the appropriate fasteners and materials. The outlet box and

its bracing must be able to fully support the weight of the

moving fan (at least 50 lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.

The illustrations below show three different ways to mount the

outlet box.

If the canopy touches the downrod, then remove the decorative canopy

bottom cover, and turn the canopy 180° before attaching the canopy to

the mounting plate.

To hang your fan where there is an existing xture but no ceiling joist,

you may need an installation hanger bar as shown above

(available at any Home Depot store).

NOTE: You may need a longer downrod to maintain

proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped

ceiling. The maximum angle allowable is 30° away from

horizontal.

the ring to the right until it unlocks.

□Remove the mounting bracket (A) from the canopy (C) by

loosening the two screws (HH) located in the “L shaped”

slots

□Remove and save the two non-slotted screws (SS) in the

round holes. This will enable you to remove the mounting

bracket (A).

□Route the wires exiting the top of the fan motor (D) into

the decorative motor collar cover (F) and through the

canopy ring (L).

□Make sure the slot openings are on top and route the

wires through the canopy (C) and then through the ball/

downrod assembly (B).

and turning it clockwise until it is tight.

□Re-tighten the setscrew (II) on the motor collar (FF) on top of the

fan motor assembly (D) by turning it clockwise.

NOTE: This fan is equipped with a safety tab (EE). Should

the setscrew (II) ever become loose while the fan is

running in reverse, the safety tab (EE) will engage and

stop the fan from falling.

CAUTION: To ensure wobble-free operation and to avoid

damage to the fan, the downrod (B) and the setscrew

(II) must be completely tightened

Making the electrical connection

IMPORTANT: Use the plastic wire connectors (BB) supplied with

your fan. Secure the connectors with electrical tape and ensure

there are no loose strands or connections.

WARNING: Each wire not supplied with this fan is designed to

accept up to one 12-gauge house wire and two wires from the

fan. If you have larger than 12-gauge house wiring or more

than one house wire to connect to the fan wiring, consult an

electrician for the proper size wire nuts to use.

□The fan comes with 78 in. lead wires for use with an extended

ball/downrod assembly. If using the 18 in. ball/downrod

assembly (B) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your

desired length. This will make extra room in the canopy (C), if

you do not wish to cut the wires, you will need to neatly wrap

them.

□Connect the fan motor green wires to the household green or

bare wire using a wire connecting nut (BB).

□Connect the fan motor white wire to the household white wire

using a wire connecting nut (BB).

□Connect the fan motor black wire to the household black wire

using a wire connecting nut (BB).

□Secure each wire connecting nut using electrical tape.

□Turn the wire connecting nuts (BB) upward and push the

wiring into the outlet box (OO).

NOTE: The fan comes with 78 in. lead wires for use with an

extended ball/downrod assembly. If using the 18 in. ball/downrod

assembly (B) provided, you can cut the lead wires to your desired

length.

Assembly - Hanging the Fan (continued)

screws (HH) in the slide-on mounting bracket (A). Push up to

engage the slots, and turn clockwise to lock the canopy (C) in

place.

□Firmly tighten the two mounting screws (HH).

□Install the two mounting screws(saved from assembly step 1

“Preparing for mounting” into the holes in the canopy (C) and

tighten rmly.

□Install the decorative canopy ring (L) by aligning the ring’s

slots with the screws in the canopy (C). Rotate the canopy

ring (L) counter-clockwise to lock it in place.

WARNING: When using the standard ball/downrod mounting, the

tab in the ring at the bottom of the mounting bracket must rest in

the groove of the hanger ball. Failure to properly seat the tab in

the groove could cause damage to the wiring.

Wrapping the extra wire

□Gently wrap the excess wire around the mounting bracket.

□Secure with electrical tape.

NOTE: Follow this step ONLY if you did not cut the extra length off

from the wires coming from the ceiling fan.

WARNING: The locking slots of ceiling canopy are provided only

as an aid to mounitng. Do not leave the fan assembly unattached

until all four canopy screws are engaged and rmly tightened.
