Step 5-3

Step 5-4



Wire Nut

All wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a qualified electrician.

Wall switches are not included. Select an acceptable general-use switch in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

5-1. Disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location.

5-2. Decide how you want to set up the fan and light controls. You can control the fan and/or lights together or separately using one or two wall switches. Follow Step 5-3 OR Step 5-4, depending on what you decide.

5-3. If you want to, you can control the fan and light separately using two wall switches. To do so, connect the wires as follows:

The bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green ground wire from the ceiling plate and the green ground wire from the fan

The white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan

The black wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan

The black/white wire from the fan to the wire for the wall switch

5-4. Alternatively, you can control both fan and light with one switch. To do so connect the wires as follows:

The bare or green ground wire from the ceiling to the green ground wire from the ceiling plate and the green ground wire from the fan

The white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan

The black wire from the ceiling to the black and the black/white

wire from the fan

5-5. To connect the wires, hold the bare metal leads together and place a wire nut over them, then twist clockwise until tight.

CAUTION: Be sure no bare wire or wire strands are visible after making connections.

5-6. Push all wires and wire nuts back into the ceiling plate.
