1. SAFETY RULES
1. To avoid possible electric shock, turn
off the electricity at the main fuse box or
circuit panel before you begin the fan
installation or before servicing the fan or
installing accessories.
2. Read all instructions and safety
information carefully before installing
your fan and save these instructions.
3. Make sure all electrical connections
comply with local codes or ordinances as
well as the National Electrical Code. If
you are unfamiliar with electric wiring,
please use a qualified and licensed
electrician.
4. Make sure you have a location
selected for your fan which allows clear
space for the blades to rotate, and at lease
seven (7) feet of clearance between the
floor and the fan blade tips.
Model #3-113-xx: 13.69 lbs
5. The outlet box and ceiling support
joist used must be securely mounted, and
capable of supporting at least 35 pounds.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
or personal injury, use only an outlet box
clearly labeled "Acceptable For Fan
Support".
9. Do not attempt to control the
operation of the fan (or an optional light
kit) from any wall control that is not
approved by Oxygen for use with its fans.
Do not use solid state wall controls. The
use of any unapproved control voids the
fan's warranty.
6. To reduce the risk of personal injury
use only approved hanging brackets and
screws supplied with the outlet box for
mounting to the outlet box.

3. MOUNTING OPTIONS
1. Disconnect the power by removing fuses
or turning off circuit breakers.
2. If there is an existing outlet box, ensure it
is clearly marked "Acceptable for Fan
Support of 15.9 kg (35 lbs) or Less". If it is
not so marked, it must be replaced with an
approved one.
3. Secure the outlet box (or make sure the
existing box is secured) directly to the
building structure. Use appropriate fasteners
and building materials.
4. Figures 1,2 and 3 are examples of
different ways to mount the outlet box in
different situations. A longer downrod may
be required in sloped ceiling situations to
maintain proper blade clearance.
5. To hang the fan in locations where no
ceiling joist is available, a hanger support bar
may be required (Figure 4). Hanger support
bars are available at most area home centers.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, OR PERSONAL INJURY,
MOUNT THE FAN ONLY TO AN OUTLET MARKED ACCEPTABLE FOR FAN SUPPORT AND USE

8. OPERATING YOUR TRANSMITTER
Your DC brushless motor is equipped with
an automatically learned type remote
control. There is no frequency switches on
the receiver or transmitter. The fan can
start to use once the pairing process is
done.
Operation Instructions
A. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 buttons:
These six buttons are used to set the fan
speed as follows:
1= minimum speed
2= low speed
3= medium low speed
4= medium speed
5= medium high speed
6= high speed
B. button:
This button turns the fan off.
C. The "
" button is used to set the
fan forward or reverse, press the button
forward (for warm weather) or reverse (for
cool weather).
NOTE: To operate the reverse function on
this fan, press the reverse button while the
fan is running.
Pairing Process
With the fan’s power off, restore power to
the fan. Press and hold “ ” button for
about 5 seconds and release. If optional
light kit is installed, the light kit will flash
twice and the signal light on the remote
control will come on when the button is
pressed. The fan has completed the pairing
process with the remote control and is
ready for use.
NOTE: A single fan can be controlled
with as many as 3 remote controls in one
room. Every control will need to repeat
the pairing process based on instructions
above and all controls must be within 30
feet of the fan.
If a room has two fans installed, each fan
will need it’s own remote control. A
single control CAN NOT control more
than one fan. Each fan will need to go
through the pairing process individually.
While running the pairing process on the
first fan, turn power off to the second fan.
When finished the pairing process for the
first fan, turn the power off and restore
power to the second fan and run the
pairing process- NOTE the " " button
must be pressed within 60 seconds of
restoring power to the second fan.

1. Lock position: The DC motor has a
built-in safety against obstruction during
operation. The motor will be locked
operation and disconnect power after 30
seconds of interruption. Please remove
obstacles before re-set.
2. Over 80W protection: When the
receiver detects motor power
consumption which is greater than 80W,
the receiver power will be stopped and
operation will immediately discontinue.
Turn the receiver power on after 5
seconds.

NOTE: If multiple fans are installed on
the same circuit, each fan must have it’s
own switch leg. Each fan and remote
control pair must have its own wire from
the control to the fan (the wire from the
control to the fan can NOT be shared).
There can NOT be a jumper wire running
from fan to fan.
The receiver provides the following
protective function:

9. FAN OPERATION AND CARE
1. A ceiling fan is an environmentally
smart choice to cool as well as to help
warm your home or office. Adjust your
HVAC thermostat during fan use to save
additional energy and money on your air
conditioning and heating utility bills. You
should see a significant reduction in both
your heating and cooling costs by regular
use of your fan.
Do not hesitate to use your fan during
summer and winter months. In summer,
(Fig. 18) using the reverse switch, adjust
the fan's direction so cool air is blown
down, producing a cooling breeze. In
winter, (Fig. 19) reverse the fan so that an
upward airflow will push warm air off the
ceiling and circulate it downwards into the
living area. In winter months, use the fan
at a lower speed than summer.
2. Periodically check tightness of all
screws securing the blades to the blade
arm attachment points. A clicking or a
rattling noise is a sure indication of
loosening screws. Since screws will
invariably work loose over time, at least
once a year, tighten all the screws
attaching blades to blade arms. Do not
bend blade arms when cleaning or
servicing the fan.
3. Clean you fan periodically using only
a cloth dampened with a mild detergent
solution for all hardware - never use
solvents. The finish plating is lacquered to
prevent tarnishing. Use a lint-free cloth
with clean water to clean blades.
Fig. 18
4. You will never need to oil or lubricate
your fan. Its permanently sealed bearings
will provide trouble free, silent operation
for many years.
5. If repairs or servicing are ever
required, to avoid possible electric shock,
turn off the electricity at the main fuse
or circuit panel before you begin.
Fig. 19
WINTER
10. TROUBLESHOOTING
FAN WILL NOT START
1. Check that the electricity has been
turned on at the circuit breaker which had
probably been turned off during
installation.
2. Turn off the electricity. Check all
connections in the wiring of the fan at the
ceiling and make sure it follows the
wiring instructions outlined in this
manual.
3. Be sure ON/OFF power switch on the
wall control is in ON position.
4. Be sure the wall control is installed
within 30 feet of ceiling fan.
NOISE
Note: Always allow a day or two "run-in"
time for any new fan at medium or high
speed. When attempting to diagnose
noise, listen carefully from several sides
to try and isolate the location of the noise
(blade, upper end, motor, light kit, etc.)
1. Tighten all screws attaching blades to
blade arms. Remember to tighten these
screws at least once a year because they
may loosen slowly over time and cause a
clicking noise.
2. Turn off the power. Loosen the canopy
and check that the wiring and/or wire nut
connectors are not resting against the
canopy, possibly vibrating while the fan is
on.
3. Use of a standard light rheostat or an
unapproved fan wall control to control the
fan speed will always cause an annoying
"hum". Many fan motors do not work
quietly with solid state variable speed
controls.
4. Check that the rubber gasket on the
mounting bracket has been installed if
called for in the installation instructions.
EXCESSIVE WOBBLE
Note: A small amount of wobble is
considered acceptable and should not be
considered a defect.
1. Make certain all blades are tightly
attached to each blades' respective blade
arm.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
5. Check that the canopy in not touching
the ceiling.
6. Check that all screws on the motor
housing and the bottom housing are tight.
FAN TURNS, BUT DOES NOT MOVE
MUCH AIR
1. The fan may be running in reverse.
Press the reverse button on transmitter to
set the fan in forward operation.
2. The distance from the ceiling to the
blades may be too small. For downrod
fans, optimal placement would be 8-9 feet
from the floor.
3. The room may contain items which
obstruct the air flow.
4. The fan may be too small for the size
of the room.
For replacement parts, contact your
local dealer.
