This fan is not compatible with lighting or speed control systems
such as Lutron. It may only be connected through a simple on-off
switch.

TOOLS & HARDWARE
REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
• Drill
• Flat Blade Screwdriver
• Two Two 5/16” 3/8” Lag Bolts
• Wrench for Lag Bolts
• Four 5/16”
3/8” Flat Washers
• 6 mm Allen Wrench
• 3 mm Allen Wrench
• Adjustable Wrench or Metric Wrench Set

Step 1: Note for Electrician
— INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS —
Verify by a building contractor and/or structural engineer that the installed framing can support a static load of
approximately 90 pounds and moderate vibration for each ceiling fan. The (2) wood lag bolts, 3/8” 5/16” x 4” required to
install the fan hanging bracket must be installed directly on a ceiling joist or in a box framed opening to permit proper
installation of the fan hanging bracket included in the installation package. When installing on a slope ceiling,
make sure to install hanging bracket in same direction as slope.
IMPORTANT! The Aria Ventilatori Ceiling Fans cannot be hung from an electrical outlet box. Installer must use
the fan hanging bracket provided and attach it directly to structure.
Step 2: Install the 4” Electrical Outlet Box
2-1: If fan hanging bracket is to be attached directly to joist, the electrical outlet box must be installed at framing
level of joists and not below joists. Failure to do so will make it difficult to properly attach fan hanging bracket
subsequently after ceiling finishes have been completed.
2-2: If attaching an electrical outlet box to a timber frame joist or structural beam, it is only required
to pre-drill the beam to permit the passage of the electrical lead wire into the ceiling outlet box.
Step 3: Prepare the Wiring
3-1: Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and associated wall switch location are turned off.
3-2: Thread the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the fan supply line extends to allow splicing to
stranded wire going to the fan terminal block. If solid wire is connected directly to the fan terminal block it
will transmit noise.
3-3: Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved connector.
3-4: Make certain that the wiring meets all national, state, and local electrical standards and ANSI/NFPA 70.
3-5: The Aliseo Ventilatori DOES NOT require an electrical ceiling fan speed control. This is a direct wire ceiling
fan and the electronic control in the fan motor regulates the 110 voltage input to control the fan speed. This
ceiling fan can only be controlled by the remote control, included in the installation package. DO NOT attempt
to attach a fan speed control. This may cause severe damage to your fan and will not be covered by the Aria
Ventilatori ceiling fan warranty. Turning the power off from a regular on-off switch will not inflict damage to the
Aliseo Ventilatori and can be used to simply turn off the fan then turn it back on at the same speed and
direction previously selected with the remote. Verify switch does not have a dimmer installed.
Step 4: Installing Ceiling Fan Hanging Bracket
4-1: Verify that the hanging bracket pre-drilled holes align correctly with the support braces or ceiling joists
and will attach correctly. Remember that if the ceiling is sloped the hanging bracket must align with the slope
to allow the fan to hang vertically. If ceiling material does not exceed 3/4" inch, the hanging bracket may be
installed prior to installation of ceiling finish material. After the wiring has been completed and inspected by
an electrical inspector, the finish ceiling material may be installed and finished accordingly. The hanging bracket
MUST NOT be installed directly over pliable or compressible ceiling material, such as suspended ceiling tile.
4-2: The cast bronze ceiling fan hanging bracket must be installed directly and centered over the ceiling fan outlet
box. Using a pencil, trace the outline of the hanging bracket over the sheetrock, plaster, or wood member indicating
the center point of the 2 (two) predrilled holes provided in the hanging bracket. Position hanging bracket so that
the (2) two predrilled holes will align with the direction of the cross support braces.

4-3: Pre-drill the holes into the ceiling where the 5/16” 3/8" x 4" wood lag bolt will be installed. DO NOT oversize the
wood bit for pre-drilling, or otherwise Step 3 will have to be repeated! Once the hole has been pre-drilled, place
a washer over the lag bolt, insert the lag bolt with washer thru the hanging bracket, add one or two flat washers
between the bracket and the surface to allow for clearance of the rubber donut and fork. Screw the lag bolt
tightly to the surface of the hanging bracket until the lag bolt will not tighten any further. It is very
important the 5/16”
3/8” wood lag bolt is tightly fastened to the ceiling. No space or play that allows movement of the hangin
the hanging bracket can be permitted to occur once the hanging bracket has been attached.
Step 5: Installing Optional Downrod
Accessories in Downrod Kit
1. Downrod
2. Wire extensions containing 3 wires in sleeve
5-1: Note the terminal strip inside the canopy. Locate the 3 wires (yellow/green, blue and brown) in sleeve
coming from motor and note terminals into which they are connected. Disconnect these wires.
5-2: Remove the existing downrod. Unscrew the fork then remove the canopy. Unscrew the downrod from
the coupling above the motor and slide the downrod off the motor wiring.
5-3: Butt splice the wiring extension from the downrod kit to the existing wiring. Slide the downrod over
the assembled wiring and reassemble it.
5-4: Connect the wires to the terminal strip.

Step 6: Attaching the Ceiling Fan to the Bracket
6-1: Lower the canopy of the ceiling fan by releasing the brass set screw located at the neck of the canopy
until the upper portion of the fork is fully revealed. The fork is bridged by a pin that is screwed at one end with
a removable nut and washer. Remove the attached nut and washer, using a metric wrench to secure bolt while
using a metric wrench to remove nut and washer, and pull the pin from the fork.
6-2: To lift the ceiling fan and position the fork to insert the pin under the ceiling fan hanging bracket will
require two (2) persons. While one (1) person holds the ceiling fan fork up against the hanging bracket, the
2nd person will need to re-insert the hanging pin. Secure bolt with metric allen wrench and reattach nut and
washer after hanging pin has been fully inserted and carefully tighten nut with a wrench.
6-3: Once the ceiling fan is freely hanging, electrician may attach the ground wire and the two (2) lead wires,
(black and white), to the supply wire in the electrical ceiling fan box. Use UL approved wire nut connectors to
connect electrical wires.
Step 7: Complete Installation of Fan Canopy and Attach Fan Blades
7-1: Slide the canopy up the hanging rod until canopy rests up against the ceiling. Lower the canopy 1/16”
below the ceiling surface and tighten the set screw on the canopy neck against the hanging rod. Make sure
the screw is firmly set so that canopy will not slide down. Ceiling fan will slightly twist during initial start of fan
when the electrical current is switched on — so it is important that the canopy is not in direct contact with
the ceiling surface.
7-2: Model Aliseo Ventilatori wooden blades are separately packaged in a cardboard box. Each fan blade box is
marked with the identical serial number that matches with the serial number on the brass identification tag
attached on the exterior portion of fan motor. Installer must verify that fan blade model number is identical to serial
number on the fan motor. Failure to do so will result in an undesirable wobble due to the fact that every fan blade is custom
balanced to match with that particular fan.
7-3: Model Aliseo wooden blades are also individually numbered to match with the brass blade hubs located
at the bottom of the fan motor. Each hub will have a temporary number tagged to the hub to match with the
temporary number tagged on the wooden blade. Do not remove the tagged numbers from the fan motor or the wooden
blades until fan installation is entirely complete. These numbers cannot be seen from below after installation, so they may simply
be allowed to remain. If painting is required after the ceiling fan has been installed, it is strongly recommended to
not remove the number tags until all punch out and finish work is completed in case the wooden fan blades
need to be removed temporarily after installation.
7-4: Every wooden fan blade requires that the brass set screw located on the hub is tightly set and fan blade, as a
result, is locked in the correct position. Curved ends of wooden fan blades will always point up toward the ceiling.
NOTE: Model Aliseo Ventilatori fan blade set screws are hex pins that will initially need to be tightened with a 6mm metric
allen wrench. Once the hex screws are fully tightened, four brass acorn nuts will need to be screwed over the hex screws with a 6mm
metric wrench to provide a complete finish. These brass acorn nuts do not need to be set tightly to hold fan blades in position.

— REMOTE CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS —
for
THE ALISEO
THE REMOTE CONTROL:
The receiver in the fan receives commands from the remote control
through radio frequency signals.
• LED Orange Light, together with the sound of a beep, indicates that
the remote control has received a positive command.
The remote control controls the ceiling fan with 3 functions:
START/STOP, FORWARD/REVERSE, and UP & DOWN of the fan speed.
The distance of control depends on the environment but in most cases the remote control will
work in a free environment within a distance approximately of 60/90 feet. The reception of a
command requested by the remote control will be signaled by an internal beep in the fan motor.
REMOTE CONTROL COMMAND KEYS:
1: Controls UP — increases the speed of rotation of the fan blades. There are 20 different fan
speeds. Each time the UP key is pressed the fan speed increases. Each time the command key
is pushed the speed is increased by 30 RPM. If a rapid selection is desired to select a fan speed,
a prolonged push of the command key will increase the speed by 60 RPM, indicated by a beep.
This will reduce the total amount of available fan speeds to 10. The final fan speed selected
remains memorized when the fan is stopped by the START/ STOP key.
2: Controls DOWN — decreases the speed of rotation of the fan blades. There are 20 different
fan speeds. Each time the DOWN key is pressed the fan speed decreases. Each time the
command key is pushed the speed is decreased by 30 RPM. If a rapid selection is desired to
select a fan speed, a prolonged push of the command key will decrease the speed by 60 RPM ,
indicated by a beep. This will reduce the total amount of available fan speeds to 10. The final
fan speed selected remains memorized when the fan is stopped by the START/STOP key.
3: Controls FORWARD/REVERSE — changes the direction of rotation of the fan blades.
The Aliseo Ventilatori automatically reduces the fan speed until it stops, and then will return
to the fan speed originally programmed.
4: Controls START/STOP — turns the ceiling fan on and off. When the ceiling fan key command
is pushed to STOP, a signal will be heard that will sound a “BEEP”. When the fan is commanded
to START the beep will be slightly shorter than the STOP beep.
Every time a command key is pressed the LED will light up. If not, the #27 battery should be replaced
using a fine blade screwdriver to open the door at the keyring.
While the fan is turned OFF, the remote control will sound a beep if keys other than START are
pressed, but will not start until the START key is pressed. In addition, it will not start or change
a memorized program.
The fan must operate for at least 10 seconds without a change from the remote to remember the setting
when turned back on.

— INSTALLER NOTES FOR PROGRAMMING —
REMOTE CONTROL
When there are (2) two or more ceiling fans in the same vicinity, the remote control can be
reprogrammed to permit simultaneous operation of the ceiling fans with (1) one remote control.
Aria Ventilatori cannot guarantee correct operation due to possible external disturbances such
as other radio signals in the vicinity that could affect the equal reception of the signal.
If a decision is made to have more than one ceiling fan operated by a single remote control, it will be necessary
to program a new code in the remote control and then transmit this new code to the ceiling fans.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL:
Step 1: Reset Remote Control to Factory Code
1-1: Push and hold simultaneously keys 1 & 4
1-2: After 5 seconds the LED will begin to flash
1-3: Release key 1 and continue to hold key 4
1-4: When the LED ceases to flash, release key 4
The remote control has been reset to the original factory
code. If the procedure above is interrupted the above steps
must be repeated.
Step 2: Set New Code for Remote Control
2-1: Push and hold simultaneously keys 2 & 4
2-2: After 5 seconds the LED will begin to flash rapidly
2-3: Release key 2 and continue to hold key 4
2-4: When the LED ceases to flash, release key 4
The remote control has been set to a random code. If the
procedure above is interrupted the above steps must be repeated.
PROGRAMMING THE CEILING FANS WITH A NEW CODE:
Step 3: Program the Ceiling Fans
3-1: Power to all other Aria Ventilatori ceiling fans must be off. This applies for all Aria
Ventilatori ceilings fans, even if they are not in the immediate vicinity. Power must be off for at
least 30 seconds.
3-2: Push and hold simultaneously keys 1 & 3, then turn power on to ONLY the fan being
reprogrammed.
3-3: The ceiling fan will begin to emit repeated beeps for at least 10 seconds. Release the keys.
3-4: Push key 1. (This must be done within 10 seconds of step 3-3.) A long beep will confirm
reception and programming of the new code in the fan. If within 10 seconds a long beep does
not occur, repeat again.
3-5: The ceiling fan is programmed. Verify that the remote control operates the fan properly.
3-6: Turn on any other Aria Ventilatori ceiling fans and verify that the remote control does not
affect or interfere with their operation.

CLONING REMOTE CONTROLS:
If it is determined that using (2) remote controls for one or more ceiling fans would be beneficial,
follow the procedure below to clone an additional remote control to learn the code associated
with the existing remote.
Step 1: Clone remote control (A) to remote control (B)
1-1: To prepare remote control B to learn from remote control A hold key 4 of
remote control B with one hand for the entire duration of this procedure.
1-2: Without releasing key 4, with the other hand push keys one at a time, 1, 2, 3, in rapid
succession. Do not hold these keys for a prolonged time period during this operation.
1-3: The LED will begin to flash rapidly to indicate that it is ready to receive the code from
remote control A.
1-4: Still holding key 4 of remote B, take remote control A and place over remote control B,
permitting them to be in contact.
1-5: Push any key of remote control A until the LED of remote control B ceases to flash.
1-6: Release key 4 of remote control B. Remote control B has duplicated all of the channels
of remote control A.
Step 2 Verify the cloning of remote control B
2-1: With one hand hold key 4 of remote control B. With the other hand push key 3.
Release key 3. After 3 seconds the LED will begin to flash rapidly to indicate that remote
control B is ready to confirm the code received from remote control A during Step 1.
2-2: Without releasing key 4 of remote control B, with the other hand take remote control A
and place over remote control B permitting the remotes to be in contact.
2-3: Push any key of remote control A.
2-4: If the LED of remote control B ceases to flash and remains illuminated this indicates
that the code has been cloned correctly.
2-5: If instead, the LED of remote control B begins to flash slowly and then ceases,
it indicates that the code has not cloned correctly and Step 1 needs to be repeated.
