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 be in accordance with the National Electrical Codes “ANSI/NFPA 70-1999” 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 provides 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.
