Preparing the Fan Site
Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in
the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan
location and attachment to the building structure are essential for
safety, reliable operation, maximum efficiency, and energy savings.

not be installed directly over cooking areas.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, care must be taken
when installing the fan that the blades are at least 30” from the nearest
obstruction (such as cabinet doors). Refer to the Site Prep Sheet for
additional information.
