Install Mounting Bracket
1. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main
power panel before wiring. AII wiring must be in accordance with national
and local electrical codes, and the ceiling fan must be grounded as a
precaution against possible electrical shock.
2. Use mounting hardware.
3. The mounting bracket should be installed to the wooden structure of the
ceiling joist with the two provided wood screws (Fig.1).

CAUTION: Electrical box must be wired
to NOM general use wall switch. To reduce
the risk of injury, turn off power at wall
switch or main fuse or circuit breaker before
attempting installation or servicing.

Mounting the Fan
WARNING: The fan must be hung with a least 2,1 m of clearance from floor to blades.
1. Remove the three pre-installed screws from the motor hanging bracket. Keep the screws.
2. Slide the narrow end of the motor hanging bracket into the corresponding cut-out in the mounting
bracket allowing the fan to hang (Fig. 2).
WARNING: To avoid damaging the blade arms and blades, do not install either until the fan
is fastened to the ceiling. To avoid motor shift, handle fan by downrod or switch housing only.

Wiring the Fan
1. Four wires coming from the top of the fan (Fig. 3):
Black: “Hot” Power for the fan
White: “Common” For the fan and light
Blue: “For Light Kit Connection” for the light kit
Green with yellow stripe: Ground Wire
2. The white wire from the fan should be connected to the white wire in the ceiling, using a wire nut to
make the connection.
3. The black wire from the fan should be connected to the black wire in the ceiling, using a wire nut to
make the connection.
4. The green with yellow stripe wire from the fan should be connected to the ground wire in the ceiling,
using a wire nut to make the connection.
5. The blue wire from the fan should be connected to the black wire from the ceiling, using a wire nut to
make the connection.
6. Tuck your completed wiring back up into the electrical box.

Assembling the Motor Housing
1. Raise the fan so that the motor bracket meets the mounting bracket. Align the three screw holes.
2. Install the screws you kept from “Mounting the Fan.” (Fig. 4)
3. Lift the Motor Housing over the fan motor. Align the screw holes in the motor housing with the screw
holes in the mounting bracket (Fig. 5A).
4. Using the four screws you kept from “Installing the Mounting Bracket,” install the motor housing onto the
fan (Fig. 5B).

Installing the Blades
1. Attach blade irons to blades using the blade iron screws, washers, and nuts provided (Fig.6A).
2. Check the motor for plastic shipping stabilizer tabs, and remove them if they are present.
3. Attach blade assembly to motor using the provided motor screws.
4. Tighten screws securely (Fig.6B).

Assembling the Light Kit
1. Remove the thumbscrews from the light kit.
2. Install a 60 watt max bulb into the socket.
3. Raise the globe to the light kit.
4. Reinstall the thumbscrews. Tighten screws securely (Fig. 7A).
5. Assemble decorative fob and extension chains from hardware bag to the fan pull chains by inserting
end of chain into chain coupling. Confirm chains are held by lightly pulling both chains in coupling
(Fig. 7B).

Reversing the Fan
Turn the fan off and let the blades stop before changing the direction of the air flow. Engage the reverse
switch to change the blade direction.
In warm weather, ceiling fans work best by
blowing air downward (counterclockwise)
providing the room with a cool breeze.
In cool weather, set your fan to draw
air upward (clockwise) to distribute the
warmer air trapped at the ceiling without
causing a draft.

Troubleshooting
FAN WILL NOT START:
1. Check all fuses or circuit breakers. Replace if missing.
2. Turn off electrical power and check all wire connections to fan and in the wall control.
FAN IS NOISY
1. Use of standard light rheostat or continuously variable fan speed wall control will always cause har-
monic distortions or a huming noise. Many fan motors do not work quietly with solid state variable
controls. If a quiet wall control is desired use only 3-speed NOM approved wall controls.
2. Always allow a few days of ‘break in’ time for any new fan at medium or high speed. Try to diagnose
the exact location of the noise by listening carefully from several sides (Blades, Motor, Light Kit, etc...).
3. Make sure all screws in the fan assembly are tight and properly threaded. If not, back out and
retighten. Tighten these screws at least once a year because they may loosen slowly over time and
cause a clicking noise.
4. Make sure mounting bracket is installed snugly to junction box.
5. Make sure wire nuts in switch housing or canopy are not rattling against each other or against wall of
housing. Wrap with electrical tape if necessary.
6. Make sure the canopy is not touching the ceiling.
7. Make sure that the screws fastening blade arm to motor are tight.
FAN TURNS BUT DOES NOT MOVE MUCH AIR:
1. The fan may be running in reverse, so air is directed upward.
2. The room may contain items that obstruct the air flow.
3. The fan may be too small for size of the room.
FAN SHAKES OR WOBBLES
1. A small amount of movement is considered acceptable and should not be considered a defect.
2. Make sure mounting bracket is tight at junction box/ceiling with no movement at all. Tighten screws if
necessary.
3. Make sure all screws holding the blades to the blade arm and blade arm to motor are tight. Make sure
light kit/glass screws are tight.
4. Some fan movement is normal. However, interchanging an adjacent (side-by-side) blade pair may
redistribute the weight and result in smooth operation.
5. Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a
point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure this distance. Measurements deviation
should always be within 1/8”. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat
for each blade.
Maintenance
1. The fan’s natural movements may cause some connections to loosen. A clicking or rattling noise is a
certain sign of loosening screws. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments
twice a year, and tighten all screws as necessary. Make sure all screws attaching the glass to the fitter
on the light kit are finger tight. Do not use a screw driver or pliers to tighten glass screws.
2. Clean your fan periodically. Use only a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never
use solvents. Dust with a soft cloth or brush. Metal finishes are finished with a lacquer to prevent
tarnishing.
3. You will never need to oil your fan. Its permanently sealed bearings will provide silent, trouble free
operation for many years.
4. Make sure the power is turned off at the main fuse or circuit panel before you attempt any repairs.
