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.
4-1. Disconnect the power by turning off the circuit breakers to the
outlet box and associated wall switch location.
4-2. 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 4-3 OR Step 4-4, depending on what you
decide.

wall switches, connect the wires as follows:

• e white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• e black wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the fan
• e black/white wire from the fan to the wire for the wall switch

do so connect the wires as follows:
• e 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
• e white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan
• e black wire from the ceiling to the black and the black/white
