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".

cleaning the fan or fan blades. A dry dust

cloth or lightly dampened cloth will be

suitable for most cleaning.

11. After making the electrical connections,

spliced conductors should be turned

upward and pushed carefully up into outlet

box. The wires should be spread apart with

the ground wire and white (common) wire

to one side with the black (load) wire to the

other 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

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 are examples of different ways to

mount the outlet box.

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. 3)

6. INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SUPPORT

(required for Canadian Installations ONLY)

A safety support cable is provided to help

prevent the ceiling fan from falling.

Step 1. Attach the provided wood screw and

washer to the ceiling joist next to the mounting

bracket but do not tighten. (Fig. 6)

Step 2. Adjust the length of the safety cable to

reach the screw and washer by pulling the

extra cable through the cable clamp until the

overall length is correct. Put the end of the

cable back through the cable clamp, forming a

loop at the end of the cable. Tighten the cable

clamp securely. Now, put the loop in the end

of the safety cable over the wood screw and

under the washer. Tighten the wood screw

securely.

(Fig. 7)

Connect the black wire from the fan to the

black wire marked "TO MOTOR L" on the

receiver.

Connect the white wire from the fan to the

white wire marked "TO MOTOR N" on the

receiver.

Connect the blue wire from the fan to the blue

wire marked "FOR LIGHT" on the receiver.

Secure each set of wire connections with the

plastic wire nuts provided in the parts bag.

2. Receiver to Supply Wires Electrical

Note: Fan must be installed at a maximum

distance of 30 feet from the CoolTouch™

Remote Transmitter for optimal signal

transmission between the transmitter and the

fan's receiving unit.

For best performance, make sure the Black

Antenna, on the end of the receiver, remains

extended and not tangled with any of the

electrical wires.

NOTE: The CoolTouch™ Control System is

equipped with 16 possible frequency

combinations to prevent interference from or

with other remote control units. The frequency

switches on your receiver and transmitter have

been preset at the factory. Please recheck to

make sure the switches on transmitter and

receiver are set to the same position, any

combination of settings will operate the fan as

long as the transmitter and receiver are set to

the same position. (Fig. 8)

Insert the receiver into the receiver socket

located in the mounting bracket with the flat

side of the receiver facing the motor. (Fig. 9)

10. ATTACHING THE FAN BLADES

Step 1. Place a blade on a blade bracket

aligning the mounting holes on each. Start

each set of mounting screws, washers and

fiber pads into each hole.

Make sure the blade is straight on the blade

bracket and tighten each mounting screw until

the fiber pad is slightly compressed.

Step 2. Attach each blade assembly to the

motor using the "Pre-installed" mounting

screws in the blade bracket. (Fig 12)

Repeat the above process for each blade

assembly.

11. INSTALLING THE LIGHT FIXTURE

MOUNTING PLATE

1. Loosen two screws on the mounting ring

attached to the motor shaft and "remove" and

save the third screw. (Fig. 13)

2. Place the key holes on the light fixture

mounting plate over the 2 screws previously

loosened on the mounting ring, turn light

fixture mounting plate until it locks in place at

the narrow section of the key holes. Secure by

12. INSTALLING THE LIGHT FIXTURE

NOTE: Before continuing installation, confirm

that the power is still turning off at the main

circuit breaker or by removing the correct fuse.

Turning the power off using a wall switch is not

sufficient to prevent electrical shock.

1. Loosen the two screws on the light fixture

mounting plate attached to the motor shaft and

"remove" and save the third screw. (Fig. 14)

2. Hold the light fixture close to the fan and

connect the white wires by pushing the

connectors on the wire ends together. Follow

the same procedure for the black wires. (Fig

14)

3. Tuck the connections neatly into the light

fixture mounting plate. NOTE: Be careful not

to pinch the light fixture wires between the

light fixture and the light fixture mounting plate.

4. Place the key hole slots on the light fixture

over the two screws previously loosened on

the light fixture mounting plate.

Turn the light fixture until is locks in place at

the narrow section of the key hole slots.

Tighten both key hole screws and replace the

third screw previously removed and tighten

securely. (Fig. 14)
