WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, and serious personal injury, follow these instructions.
Safety Instructions
1. Read your owner’s manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel disconnecting means
to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Be careful of the fan and blades when cleaning, painting, or working near the fan. Always turn off the power to
the ceiling fan before servicing.
4. Do not put anything into the fan blades while they are turning.
5. Do not operate reversing switch until fan blades have come to a complete stop.
Additional Safety Instructions for Installation
1. To avoid possible shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the fuse box before wiring, and do not operate fan
without blades.
2. All wiring must satisfy National and Local Electrical Codes. Use the National Electrical Code if Local Codes do
not exist. The ceiling fan must be grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock. Electrical
installation should be made or approved by a licensed electrician.
3. The outlet box and joist must be securely mounted and capable of reliably supporting at least 50 pounds. Use
only U.L. outlet boxes listed as acceptable for fan support, and use the mounting screws provided with the
outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and
may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
4. The downrod furnished with the fan proves the minimum recommended floor to fan blade clearance for an
8 foot ceiling.
5. The fan must be mounted with the fan blades at least 7 feet from the floor to prevent accidental contact with the
fan blades.
6. Follow the recommended instructions for the proper method of wiring your ceiling fan. If you do not know
enough about electrical wiring, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
