FAQs
How high should a ceiling fan be mounted?
A ceiling fan should be mounted at least 7 feet above the floor for safety reasons. If the ceiling is higher than 8 feet, use a downrod to lower the fan to the proper height.
What size downrod should I use?
The size of the downrod depends on the height of the ceiling. For ceilings that are 8 feet or less, a flush mount is recommended. For higher ceilings, use a downrod that is at least 6 inches long for every additional foot of ceiling height.
Can I control the fan and light separately?
Yes, if you have a dual switch or a remote control, you can control the fan and light separately.
What if I lose the wiring diagram?
You can find the wiring diagram on the Hunter website or contact customer service for assistance.
