1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, insure

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 and local

electrical codes. Electrical installation

should be performed by a qualiﬁed

licensed electrician.

3. WARNING: Suitable for use with

solid-state speed controls.

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 kits 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 the Instructions

packaged with the light kits and switches

for proper assembly.

WARNING

SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT

FAN TO OUTLET BOX MARKED

"ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT".

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL

INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE

BRACKETS (ALSO REFERRED TO AS

FLANGES) DURING ASSEMBLY OR AFTER

INSTALLATION. DO NOT INSERT

OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF THE BLADES.

Kichler Basics

4. MOUNTING OPTIONS

If there isn't an existing UL (cUL for Canadian

Installation) listed mounting box, then read the

following instructions. Disconnect the power

by removing fuses or turning off circuit

breakers.

Secure the outlet box directly to the building

structure. Use appropriate fasteners and

building materials. The outlet box and its

support must be able to fully support the

moving weight of the fan (at least 50 lbs). Do

not use plastic outlet boxes.

Figures 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different

ways to mount the outlet box.

NOTE: If you are installing the ceiling fan on a

sloped (vaulted) ceiling, you may need a

longer downrod to maintain proper clearance

between the tip of the blade and the ceiling. A

minimum clearance of 12" is suggested for

optimal operation.

NOTE: Depending on the location you have

selected for installation, you may need to

purchase and install a "Joist Hanger" for the

support of the outlet box. Make sure the joist

hanger you purchase has been designed for

use with ceiling fans. (Fig. 4)

5. HANGING THE FAN

REMEMBER to turn off the power. Follow the

steps below to hang your fan properly.

NOTE: 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" installation. The

"close-to-ceiling" installation is recommended

in rooms with less than 8-feet ceilings or in

areas where additional space is desired from

the ﬂoor to the fan blades.

STANDARD CEILING INSTALLATION

Step 1. Pass the 120-volt supply wires

through the center hole in the ceiling hanger

bracket as shown in Fig. 5.

Step 2. Secure the hanger bracket to the

ceiling outlet box with the screws and

washers provided with your outlet box.

Step 3. Remove the hitch pin, lock pin and set

screws from the top of the motor assembly.

Step 4. Route wires exiting from the top of the

fan motor through the canopy and then

through the ball/downrod. (Fig. 6)

Step 5. Align the holes at the bottom of the

downrod with the holes in the collar on top of

the motor housing (Fig.6). Carefully insert the

hitch pin through the holes in the collar and

downrod. Be careful not to jam the pin against

the wiring inside the downrod. Insert the

locking pin through the hole near the end of

the hitch pin until it snaps into its locked

position, as noted in the circle inset of Fig. 6.

Step 6. Tighten two set screws on top of the

fan motor ﬁrmly. (Fig. 6)

Step 7. Place the downrod ball into the hanger

bracket socket. (Fig. 7)

CLOSE-TO-CEILING INSTALLATION

Step 1. Pass the 120-volt supply wires

through the center hole in the ceiling hanger

bracket as shown in Fig. 5.

Step 2. Remove the decorative canopy cover

from the canopy by turning canopy cover

counterclockwise. (Fig. 8)

Step 3. Secure the hanger bracket to the

ceiling outlet box with the screws and

washers provided with your outlet box.

Step 4. Remove three of the six screws and

lock washers (every other one) from the collar

of top motor. (Fig. 9)

Step 5. Place the ceiling canopy over the

collar at the top of the motor. Align the

mounting holes with the holes in the motor

and fasten using the screws and lock washers

provided. (Fig. 9)

Step 6. Tighten the mounting screws securely.

(Fig. 9)

WARNING: Failure to completely tighten the

three screws in step 5 could result in fan

loosening and possibly falling.

Step 7. Hang the fan on the hook of the

hanger bracket. Be certain that the canopy is

fully locked into hook as shown in Fig. 10.

This will allow you to make the electrical

connections.

the neutral household (white) wire.

Step 3. Connect the fan ground wire (green)

to the household ground wire.

Step 4. After connecting the wires, spread

them apart so that the green and white wires

are on one side of the outlet box and the

black and blue wires are on the other side.

Step 5. Turn the connecting nuts upward and

push the wiring into the outlet box.

CLOSE-TO-CEILING INSTALLATION

Step 1. Tuck all the wire connections neatly

above the receiver and into the ceiling outlet

box.

Step 2. Remove the fan from the hook on the

ceiling mounting bracket. Attach the fan

assembly to the ceiling mounting bracket

using 4 screws at the top edge of the

mounting bracket.

Align the keyhole slots on the canopy with the

mounting screw heads on the sides of the

mounting bracket. Lift up and turn the fan

assembly until the heads of the mounting

screws are in the narrow end of the keyhole

slots.

Step 3. Make sure all four mounting screws

are tight. (Fig. 13)

7. FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

STANTARD CEILING INSTALLATION

Step 1. Tuck all the connections neatly into

the ceiling outlet box.

Step 2. Slide the canopy up to ceiling and

attach the canopy to the ceiling mounting

bracket using 4 screws at the top edge of the

mounting bracket. Insert each screw through

the canopy mounting hole and into the

mounting bracket. Tighten all screws securely.

(Fig. 12)

8. ATTACHING THE FAN BLADES

Fig. 14

CAUTION: Remove the ﬁve rubber shipping

blocks attached to the face of the motor.

These blocks keep the motor from shifting

during shipping and MUST be removed during

installation.

Step 1. Attach the blade to the blade bracket

using the screws and ﬁber washers as shown

in Figure 14. Start screw into bracket. Repeat

for the two remaining screws.

Step 2. Make sure the blade is straight and

tighten each screw.

Step 3. Fasten blade assembly to motor using

"Pre-Installed" mounting screws in the blade

bracket.

9. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the power on and check the operation of

your ceiling fan.

The pull chain controls the 3 speeds of your

ceiling fan as follows:

1 pull = High, 2 pulls = Medium, 3 pulls = Low

and the 4th pull turns the motor off.

The Black Slide Switch on the side of the

switch housing controls the direction of the

blades "Forward and Reverse".

Warm weather - Forward (counter clockwise)

A downward airﬂow creates a cooling effect

as shown in Fig. 15. This allows you to set

your air conditioner on a warmer setting

without affecting your comfort.

Cool weather - Reverse (clockwise) An

upward airﬂow moves warm air off the ceiling

area as shown in Fig. 16. This allows you to

set your heating unit on a cooler setting

without affecting your comfort.
