Take all of the ceiling fan parts out of the boxes. Check the instruction to make sure that you have all of the pieces that are listed there. Also try to make sure that you know what each part is. To make your life easier lay all of the different parts out in the order that you will have to install them.

Step 2 – Take Down the Old Fixture

Now the next step will be to take down the old fixture. Before you start doing that make sure that the light source you are dealing with is disconnected. Do not trust only your judgment and try with a circuit tester to be absolutely sure. Make sure that you know which wire in the outlet box is connected with light fixture.

Step 3 - Install the Fan Blades

Mount the fan blades. If you have blades that can be reversed then choose the color that you want to be presented and install the blades in the brackets. Read more about that from your instruction manual so to be sure that you know how to do it exactly for your specific ceiling fan type. It would be better if you would have some help with the installation as that is much easier than to try to do it only on your own.

Step 4:  Install Cover to Motor Assembly

There are two options depending on how high your ceiling is, either the ceiling hugger or the down rod option for covering the motor assembly. As we do not know what kid of fan you specifically have then we recommend for you to read the instruction to be completely sure that you install the cover properly.

Step 5:  Installing the Base Plate to the Outlet Box

Make sure that the outlet box is properly installed to the wood structure. If it seems to be too loose than use some bracings to make sure that it is mounted securely. Different fans have different color schemes with wires. Check your instruction. The most common one is a green, white, black and a blue wire. In this case black is usually for the fan and the blue one for the light kit. But as we said make sure to read your instruction as this might vary. 

Now hang the motor assembly on the designated hooks and connect the wiring like it is explained in the instruction. To make your life easier you might have a matched color wires from the fan. Also make sure to check that you have electricity in the fan before you finish the installation. Remember to be safe and follow all precautions while you are doing the checking. Now put all splice up in the junction box and use the mounting screws to install the mounting plate to the outlet box. The screws should come with the fan kit. 

Step 6 – Installing the Assembled Blades to the Fan Motor

Now you have to follow your instruction about how exactly to install the blades. Be sure to check that all of the screws are tightened properly.  

Step 7 - Mounting the Light Kit

Follow the instructions of how to install the light kit. The wires should be provided with plug- in connectors. In this case just connect the wires and install the light kit as told.

Step 8 - The Last Touches

Now install the bulbs. Check the blub type and maximum wattage rating beforehand and do not use bulbs with higher ratings than suggested.

If your fan has a globe or some other kind of glass fixture than install that also now. Do not forget to fed the fan speed and light switch through the holes in the globe. 

It’s done!

This was a small instruction of how to install the ceiling fan. If you are planning to install it than make sure to read the instructions carefully, once you have the fan than unpack all of the parts in order and you should be able to do it on your own very well.
