Common Questions
19 totalWhat is the minimum clearance required between the fan blades and the floor?
The blades must be at least 7 feet above the floor. Additionally, there must be at least 30 inches of clearance from the end of the blades to any obstruction. These clearances are essential for safe operation and proper airflow.
How do I control the fan speed?
The pull chain located to the right of the reverse switch has four positions: one pull is HIGH, two pulls is MEDIUM, three pulls is LOW, and four pulls turns the fan OFF. You can also attach pull chain extensions to make the chains easier to access.
How do I use the reverse switch to optimize seasonal performance?
In warmer weather, set the reverse switch in the DOWN position for downward airflow to create a wind chill effect. In cooler weather, set it in the UP position for upward airflow to move hot air off the ceiling. The switch must be set completely UP or DOWN for the fan to operate; setting it in the middle position will prevent operation.
What bulb type should I use for the light kit?
Use 60-watt max candelabra-base bulbs or 13-watt candelabra-base CFLs. When replacing the bulb, allow both the bulb and glass shade to cool down before touching them.
What is the net weight of the fan with the light kit installed?
The net weight of the fan including the light kit is 14.11 lbs. The outlet box used for installation must be marked as acceptable for fan support of 35 lbs. or less.
What should I do if the fan operates but the light fails to turn on?
First, re-install the bulb to make sure it is installed correctly. If that doesn't work, check that the wires in the outlet box are properly wired according to the wiring diagrams on pages 8 and 9. Also verify that the wall switch controlling the light (if applicable) is turned on.

Safety Information
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box
marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT OF 35 LBS. (15.9 KG) OR LESS" and use mounting screws provided with the outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for the support of lighting fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt. When mounting fan to a ceiling outlet box, use a METAL octagonal outlet box; do NOT use a plastic outlet box. Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. The outlet box and its support must be able to support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 lbs.). To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fan parts with sharp edges. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this fan are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the fan. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to the corresponding fan lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to use. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the fan with any solid state speed control device or control fan speed with a full range dimmer switch. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, do not bend the blade arms when installing them, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert objects between the rotating fan blades. To reduce the risk of personal injury, use ONLY parts provided with this fan. The use of parts OTHER than those provided with this fan will void the warranty. Before installation, be sure to shut off electricity at main switch or circuit breaker in order to avoid electrical shock.
Warning
Danger
Caution
When using an existing outlet box, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and can support the full weight of the fan. Failure to do this can result in serious injury or death. The stability of the outlet box is essential in minimizing wobble and noise in the fan after installation is complete. Be sure outlet box is properly grounded and that a ground wire (green or bare) is present. Before beginning installation, carefully check all screws, bolts and nuts on fan motor assembly to ensure they are secure.4
