Please contact 1-800-986-3460 for further assistance.

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

been turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box before

beginning.

2. 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.

3. The outlet box and support structure must be securely

mounted and capable of reliably supporting a minimum of 35

lbs (15.9 kg). Use only UL-listed outlet boxes marked “FOR

FAN SUPPORT.”

4. The fan must be mounted with a minimum of 7 ft (2.1m)

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

5. Avoid placing objects in the path of the blades.

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

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

7. 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.

8. 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 ungrounded conductor on

the other side of the outlet box.

9. All setscrews must be checked and retightened where

necessary before installation.

10. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation

is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may

not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

Warning: Changes or modiﬁcations to this unit not expressly

approved by the party responsible for compliance could void

the user's authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply

with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15

of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a

residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

Warranty

Pre-InstallationPre-Installation

We warrant the fan motor to be free from defects in workmanship and material present at time of shipment from the factory for a period

of lifetime after the date of purchase by the original purchaser. We also warrant 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, misuse, improper installa-

tion or by afﬁxing any accessories, is not covered by this warranty. Because of varying climatic conditions this warranty does not cover

any changes in brass ﬁnish, including rusting, pitting, corroding, tarnishing or peeling. Brass ﬁnishes of this type give their longest useful

life when protected from varying weather conditions. 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. We hereby disclaim

any and all warranties, including but not limited to those of merchantability and ﬁtness 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 speciﬁed in the express warranty.

Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied 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 exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above

exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives speciﬁc 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 product as part of a claim on the warranty

must be paid by the customer.

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

7 HOMEDEPOT.COM/HOMEDECORATORS

Please contact 1-800-986-3460 for further assistance.

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

joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (PP) (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 (OO) (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 (OO) (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).

Assembly — Attaching the Fan Blades

□Remove the top fan housing (O) from the motor (G) by

removing the six collar mounting screw with lock washer

(KK) on the top fan housing.

□Align the holes in the blade (H) and the fan motor assenbly

(G) and secure with a blade attachment screw and ﬁber

washer (CC).

□Repeat this procedure for remaining blades (H).

□After all the blades (H) are securely fastened to the motor

(G), replace the fan housing (O) to the motor (G) and fasten

the top fan housing with the six collar mounting screw with

lock washer (KK) previously removed.

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

bend the blades (H) while installing, balancing the blades (H),

or cleaning the fan.

WARNING: Do not insert foreign objects between rotating

fan blades (H).
