Installing your MAXIM LIGHTING 994392WT 44 Inch Ceiling Fan involves several steps to ensure safe and proper operation. Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning.
- Prepare for Mounting: Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure; it must support at least 35 lbs (15.9kg) and be UL Listed for fan support.
- Attach the Fan to the Electrical Box: Pass the 120-Volt supply wires through the center hole in the mounting bracket, and attach the bracket to the outlet box using the provided screws.
- Hang the Fan: Lift the fan-motor assembly to the mounting bracket and hang it using the J-hook.
- Make Electrical Connections: Connect the fan motor green wire to the household green or bare wire, the white wire to the white wire, and the black and blue wires to the black wire. Secure all connections with wire connecting nuts and electrical tape.
- Mount the Fan-Motor Assembly (Close-to-Ceiling Mount): After unhooking the fan, align the locking slots of the fan-motor assembly with the screws in the mounting bracket, turn clockwise to lock, and tighten the screws.
- Fasten the Blades to the Motor: Use blade bracket screws to attach the blades to the fan-motor assembly.
- Attach the Light Kit Fitter Assembly: Remove the screws from the fan-motor assembly, align the light kit pan, and reinstall the screws to secure it.
- Attach the Light Kit Fitter Assembly and Glass: Connect the wires from the fan to the LED light kit. Secure the LED light kit in the light kit pan and place the glass bowl into the pan, turning it clockwise to lock.
- Install the Dual-Slide Ceiling Fan Wall-Mounted Control: Disconnect power and remove the existing wall plate and switch. Connect the wires as instructed and secure the wall-mounted control to the outlet box.
- Care and Cleaning: Clean the fan periodically with a soft brush or lint-free cloth. Apply furniture polish to the wood for protection.
- Troubleshooting: If the fan doesn't start, check fuses and wire connections. If noisy, ensure all screws are tight. If wobbling, check blade and blade arm screws and ensure blades are level. Refer to the instruction manual for detailed diagrams and further safety information.
