Step 5-3
Step 5-4
All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical
codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a
qualified electrician.
Wall switches are not included. Select an acceptable general-use switch in
accordance with national and local electrical codes.
5-1. Disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the
outlet box and associated wall switch location.
5-2. Decide how you want to set up the fan and light controls. You can
control the fan and/or lights together or separately using one or two
wall switches. Follow Step 5-3
OR
Step 5-4, depending on what you
decide.
5-3. If you want to, you can control the fan and light separately using two
wall switches. To do so, connect the wires as follows:
• The bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green
ground wire from the ceiling plate and the green ground wire
from the fan
• The white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• The black wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan
• The black/white wire from the fan to the wire for the wall switch
5-4. Alternatively, you can control both fan and light with one switch. To
do so connect the wires as follows:
• The bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green
ground wire from the ceiling plate and the green ground wire
from the fan
• The white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• The black wire from the ceiling to the black and the black/white
wire from the fan
5-5. To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place a
wire connector over them, then twist clockwise until tight.
CAUTION:
Be sure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after
making connections.
5-6. Push all wires and wire connectors back into the ceiling plate.
