Instructions on Installing Hampton Bay Ceiling Fans With Lighting
- 1). Cut the electricity to the old ceiling fixture at the house fuse box.
- 2). Take out the screws holding the old fixture to the electrical box in the ceiling. Lower the fixture and disconnect the wires from behind it. You should be left with an exposed electrical box, a white wire, a black wire and a copper grounding wire.
- 3). Attach the installation bracket that came with your Hampton Bay fan to the electrical box, putting the screws that came with the bracket through the screw holes in the bracket and the box.
- 4). Twist the copper grounding wire around the green screw on the installation bracket. Tighten the screw.
- 5). Assemble the Hampton Bay fan on the floor, including the motor and light unit (but not the fan blades). In most models, the light assembly will connect to the motor with click-in wiring and mounting screws or brackets.
- 6). Hang the fan unit from the hook on the installation bracket, so the unit is dangling sideways off the bracket and the wires are positioned near the electrical box.
- 7). Hold the black wire from the electrical box alongside the black wire and the blue wire from the fan. (The black wire powers the fan; the blue wire powers the light.) Twist a wire cap over all three wires at once.
- 8). Connect the white wire from the fan to the white wire from the electrical box in the same manner. Tuck both connections up into the electrical box.
- 9). Set the fan unit on the electrical box and affix it there with the provided screws. Turn on the power and test the motor and light. If both work, then affix the fan blades according to the instructions. In most newer Hampton Bay models, the blades will simply snap into place.
