How to Wire Your Ceiling Fan
If you feel that you do not have enough electrical wiring knowledge or experience, have your fan installed by a licensed electrician.
!
WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, be sure electricity is turned off at the main fuse box before wiring. NOTE: If you are not sure if the outlet box is grounded, contact a licensed electrician for advice, as it must be grounded for safe operation.
1.Connect the green grounding lead from the hanger ball and the green grounding lead from the hanger bracket to the grounding conductor of supply (this may be a bare wire or wire with green colored insulation). Securely connect wires with wire connectors supplied.
NOTE: If you are using an Emerson Light Fixture with your fan, see Light Fixture Owner’s Manual for wiring.
2.Securely connect the fan motor white wire to the supply white (neutral) wire using wire connector supplied (Figure 12). Securely connect the fan motor black wire to the supply black (hot) wire using wire connector supplied (Figure 12).
3.If a downlight is not being installed, cap the blue wire using a supplied wire connector. If a downlight is being installed, a separate hot supply must be available or an optional Emerson accessory control must be used. Follow the installation instruction of the accessory control, if used.
4.If accessory uplight (AL100) is not being installed, cap the yellow wire using a supplied wire connector. If the AL100 is being installed, a separate hot supply must be available or an optional Emerson accessory control must be used. Follow the installation instruction of both the AL100 and the accessory control, if used.
5.After connections have been made, turn leads upward and carefully push leads into the outlet box, with the white and green leads on one side of the outlet box and the black, blue and yellow leads on the other side of the outlet box.

WARNING
Check to see that all connections are tight, including ground, and that no bare wire is visible at the wire connectors, except for the ground wire. Do not operate fan until blades are in place. Noise and fan damage could result.
6.Screw the two threaded studs (supplied) into the tapped holes in the hanger bracket.
7.Lift the ceiling cover up to the threaded studs and turn until studs protrude through the holes in the ceiling cover (Figure 13).
8.Secure the ceiling cover in place by sliding lockwashers over the threaded studs and installing the two knurled knobs (supplied). (Figure 13).
