SAFETY RULES

1. Before you begin installing the fan, shut power off at the circuit breaker of the fuse box.

2. Be cautious! Read all instructions and safety information before installing your new fan. Review accompanying assembly diagrams.

3. Make sure that all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, or National Electrical Codes. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a

do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.

4. Make sure the installation site you choose allows the fan blades to rotate without any obstructions. Allow a minimum clearance of 7 feet from the

floor and 18 inches from the tip of the blades to the wall.

5. If you are mounting the fan to a ceiling fan outlet box, use a U.L. Listed metal octagonal outlet box marked "Acceptable for Fan Support". Secure the

box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds) Do

not use a plastic box.

6. Caution: To reduce the risk of injury use only the screws provided with the outlet box in conjunction with the lock washers provided with the fan.

7. If you are mounting the fan to a joist, make sure it is able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 50 pounds).

8. After you install the fan, make sure that all mounting components are secured to prevent the fan from falling.

9. Do not insert anything into the fan blades while the fan is operating.

10. Turn the fan off and wait for the blades to stop completely before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

NOTE: The important safeguards and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may

occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors which can not be built into this product. These factors must be

supplied by the person (s) installing, caring for and operating the unit.

NOTE: READ AND SAVE ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR OTHER PERSONAL INJURY, MOUNT FAN ONLY TO A U.L. LISTED OUTLET BOX OR SUPPORTING SYSTEM

MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE MOUNTING SCREWS PROVIDED WITH THE OUTLET BOX IN CONJUCTION WITH THE LOCK WASHERS

PROVIDED WITH THE FAN. MOST OUTLET BOXES COMMONLY USED FOR FAN SUPPORT OF LIGHTING FIXTURES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND

NEED TO BE REPLACED. CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IF IN DOUBT.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND THE BLADE HOLDERS WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES OR CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT

INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN ROTATING FAN BLADES.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRONIC SHOCK, THIS FAN ONLY CAN USE UC9031 SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL ONLY.

ATTENTION:

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires this fan to be equipped with a 190 watt limiting device. If lamping exceeds 190 watts, the

INSTALLING THE FAN

If there isn't an existing 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.). Use a UL Listed metal outlet box. Do not use a plastic outlet box.

Figure 1, 2 and 3 are examples of different ways to mount the outlet box.

Note:You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a

steep, sloped ceiling. Longer downrods are available from your Minka-Aire®dealer.

To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need to install

a hanger bar as shown in Fig. 4 (available at your Minka-Aire®dealer).
