Step 1. Turn Off The Power

First things first, turn off the power at the wall switch and the circuit breaker.

Step 2. Wiring the Fan

When wiring your fan:

• Push the bare metal ends of the wires together
• Slide a wire nut over them
• Then twist the wire nut clockwise until it's tight.

Give it a gentle tug to make sure none of the wires are loose.

Step 3. Connecting the Wires

If you have a fan with a pre-installed receiver, connect

• The white grounded wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• The black ungrounded wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan
• The three grounding wires from the ceiling, downrod, and hanging bracket
• And cap the blue wire from the fan with the wire nut

If you have a dual switch, connect the remaining ungrounded wire from the ceiling to the blue wire from the fan with the wire nut.

Make sure each connection is secure and tuck the wires into the outlet box. Lift the canopy into place so the screw holes are aligned with the hanging bracket. Insert the canopy screws.
