WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
personal injury, mount the fan to an outlet box marked
acceptable for fan support using the screws provided with the
outlet box. An outlet box commonly used for the support of
lighting fixtures may not be acceptable for fan support and
may need to be replaced. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.

If your ceiling fan does not have an existing UL-listed mounting
box, then install one using the following instructions:
□
Disconnect the power by removing the fuses or turning off
the circuit breakers.
□
□
Secure the outlet box (1) (not included) directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and materials
(not included). The outlet box and its bracing must be able
to fully support the weight of the moving fan (at least 35
lbs.). Do not use a plastic outlet box.
The illustrations to the right show three different ways to
mount the outlet box (not included).
□
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no
ceiling joist, you may need an installation hanger bar (3) (not
included), as shown.
NOTE:
You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper
blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
The maximum angle allowable is 18°. If the canopy touches
the downrod, remove the decorative canopy bottom cover
and turn the canopy 180° before attaching the canopy to the
mounting plate (2).
