Emerson CF875 warranty Electrical Requirements, How to Hang Your Ceiling Fan

Electrical Requirements

Your new ceiling fan will require a grounded electrical supply line of 120 volts AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit.

The outlet box must be securely anchored and capa- ble of withstanding a load of at least 50 pounds.

!WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, mount fan to outlet box marked “Acceptable for Fan Support”, and use screws supplied with outlet box. Most outlet boxes commonly used for support of light fixtures are not acceptable for fan support and may need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

If your fan is to replace an existing ceiling light fixture, turn electricity off at the main fuse box at this time and remove the existing light fixture.

!WARNING

Turning off wall switch is not sufficient. To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. All wiring must be in accordance with National and Local codes and the ceiling fan must be properly grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock.

!WARNING

To avoid fire or shock, follow all wiring instructions carefully.

Any electrical work not described in these instructions should be done or approved by a licensed electrician.

3.Once wiring is completed, lift the motor bracket so that the four threaded studs on the mounting plate/light fitter protrude through the four holes in the motor bracket. (See Figure 4.)

!WARNING

To avoid possible fire or shock, make sure that the electrical wires are not pinched between the motor bracket and the mounting plate/light fitter.

4.Securely tighten the four locknuts (supplied) onto the threaded studs. Fasten locknuts securely, then try to shake the motor bracket to ensure that the assembly is tight. Proceed to section "HOW TO PUT YOUR CEILING FAN TOGETHER".
