preparing the wiring  
1. Locate the site for the hole directly below the joist or support  
brace that will hold the outlet box and fan.  
2. Cut a 4" diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the  
ceiling as shown in Figure 6. You will use the hole to install the  
support brace and outlet box.  
CAUTION: All wiring must be in accordance with na-  
tional and local electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you  
are unfamiliar with wiring, you should use a qualified elec-  
trician.  
1. Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and  
associated wall switch location are turned off. If you cannot  
lock the circuit breakers in the off position, securely fasten a  
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.  
2. Thread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the  
fan supply line extends at least 6" beyond the box as shown in  
Figure 8.

installing the glass shades  
Refer to Figure 29.  
1. Place silencer band around the neck of each glass shade.  
2. Insert glass shade in cup.  
3. Install and tighten thumbscrews manually. Do not overtighten.  
4. Install max 60 Watt medium base incandescent bulbs.  
operating your ceiling fan  
1. Turn on electrical power to the fan.  
2. The fan pull chain controls power to the fan. The pull chain  
has four settings in sequence: High, Medium, Low and Off.  
Pull the chain slowly to change settings.  
Release slowly to prevent the chain from recoiling into the  
blades.  
The chain uses a breakaway connector that separates if  
the chain is jerked. If this happens, simply reinsert the chain  
into the connector.  
3. The light pull chain controls power to the light. The pull chain  
has two settings: On and Off.  
4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclock-  
wise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a  
direct breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clock-  
wise blade rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at  
the ceiling around the room without causing a draft. Refer to  
Figure 30.

cleaning your ceiling fan  
troubleshooting  
Problem: Nothing happens; fan does not move.  
1. Turn power on, replace fuse, or reset breaker.  
2. Loosen canopy, check all connections according to the  
wiring the fan section.  
caring for finishes  
For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to pre-  
vent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can re-  
move heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt  
and dust can easily be removed by using a mild detergent and a  
slightly dampened cloth. An artistic agent may be used, but never  
use abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish.  
3. Check the plug connection in the switch housing.  
4. Push motor reversing switch firmly up or down to ensure  
that the switch is engaged.  
5. Pull the pull chain to ensure it is on.  
6. Remove the shipping bumpers.  
caring for blades  
Problem: Noisy operation.  
Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing  
cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied  
for added protection and beauty. Painted and high-gloss blades  
may be cleaned in the same manner as the fan finish.  
1. Tighten the blade bracket screws until snug.  
2. Tighten the blade screws until snug.  
3. Check to see if the blade is cracked. If so, replace all the  
blades.  
4. Change to an approved speed control.  
5. Be sure that the glass is secure.  
6. Check and tighten the screws in the switch housing  
mounting plate and in the upper and lower switch hous-  
ing.  
Problem: Excessive wobbling.  
1. If your fan wobbles when operating, use the enclosed bal-  
ancing kit and instructions to balance the fan.  
2. Tighten all blade and/or blade iron screws.  
3. Turn power off, support fan very carefully, and check that  
the hanger ball is properly seated.
