Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet
box and its support must be able to fully support the moving weight of the fan (at least 35 Ibs.). Use a UL Listed metal
outlet box. Do not use a plastic outlet box.
You may need a longer downrod to maintain proper blade clearance when installing on a steep, sloped ceiling.
Longer downrods are available from your Minka dealer.
To hang your fan where there is an existing fixture but no ceiling joist, you may need to install a hanger bar as shown
in Fig. 4 (available at your Minka dealer).
