Note: You may need a longer downrod to
maintain proper blade clearance when install-
ing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum
angle allowable is 30˚. If the canopy touches
downrod, remove the decorative canopy
bottom cover and turn the canopy 180˚ before
attaching the canopy to the mounting plate.

To hang your fan where there is an existing
fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need an
installation hanger bar as shown in Figure 4
(available at your Hampton Bay retailer).
