SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
• Before beginning installation of your ceiling fans, read and follow these safety precautions. If
you are not familiar with national and local electrical codes and basic electrical wiring proce-
dures, we recommend that you have a qualified electrician to install your new ceiling fan.
• Before you begin. Turn off the electricity. Determine which circuit your new fan will be using
and remove the fuse or turn off the circuit breaker at the main electrical panel.
• Make sure that all wiring conforms to national and local electrical codes. If you are in ques-
tion, obtain a copy of the codes and wire the fan accordingly. Never leave bare wires uncovered
(wire connection), use wire nuts to cap all connections. Plastic electrical tape is not recom-
mended.
• When working with electricity, never take short cuts. Follow the code in every aspect. Basic
requirements for a ceiling fan installed with lights are match it with specifications, on a ground-
ed circuit with a 15 amp breaker or fuse. Make sure that your electrical system and choice of
location meet these requirements.
• If the location where you plan to install your fan does not already have an electrical outlet,
hire a licensed electrician to run the wiring and install an outlet box designed for ceiling fans or
heavy fixtures. The outlet box should be able to support a minimum moving weight of 22kg and
marked "Acceptable for Fan Support" (Plastic outlet boxes are not recommended for ceiling fan
installation).
• If you plan to use an existing electrical location, check to make sure that the outlet box is not
PLASTIC, that is securely attached and able to support at least 22kg of moving weight and
marked "Acceptable for Fan Support".
