Electrical Requirements
Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical
supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal
injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable
for Fan Support”, and use screws supplied with
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.
Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid
possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is
turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. All
wiring must be in accordance with National and
Local codes and the ceiling fan must be properly
grounded as a precaution against possible
electrical shock.
