Replace an Existing Fixture with a Ceiling Fan

4. Connect the Fan

Follow manufacturer’s directions for assembling the fan and mounting the fan onto the bracket, feeding the fan wires through the downrod, and connecting the wiring to the appropriate fan and light wire leads.

Note: Many fan models have a built-in installation support hook on the fan hanger bracket that enables you to hang the fan motor while you attach the wires. Without the support hook, you’ll need a helper to hold the fan motor while you connect the wires.

Attach the light or cover plate (Fig.3). Turn power back on to the circuit.
