SAFETY INFORMATION
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.
• Before you begin installing the fan, disconnect the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breakers.
• Make sure all electrical connections comply with local codes, ordinances, the National Electrical Code and ANSI/NFPA 70-199. Hire a qualified electrician or consult a
do-it-yourself wiring handbook if you are unfamiliar with installing electrical wiring.
• Make sure the installation site you choose allows a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any
obstruction.
•
The net weight of this fan is: 16.77 lbs.
DANGER:
When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan.
Failure to do this can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after installation is complete.
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges.
WARNING:
Using a full-range dimmer switch to control fan speed will cause a loud humming noise from the fan. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT
use a full-range dimmer switch to control the fan speed.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT” and use the
mounting screws provided with 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. Secure the outlet 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 35 lbs.).
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire
and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge and/or there is more than one house wire to connect to the two fan lead wires, consult an
electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan.
Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty.
CAUTION:
Be sure the outlet box is properly grounded or a ground (green or bare) wire is present.
CAUTION:
Carefully check all screws, bolts, and nuts on the fan assembly ensure they are secured.
At least twice each year, lower the canopy to check the downrod assembly and tighten all screws on the fan. Clean the motor housing with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth
to avoid scratching the finish. Clean the blades with a lint-free cloth.
Important:
Shut off the main power supply before you begin any maintenance task. Do NOT use water or a damp cloth to clean the fan.
