- 1). Turn off the breaker supplying electricity to the Hampton Bay fan location.
- 2). Test the wires in the fan electrical box in the ceiling to confirm the electricity is off. Set a two-prong multimeter tester dial to 250 AC (alternating current). Touch one prong of the multimeter tester to the black wire inside the electrical box and the other prong to metal. If the needle remains at zero, no electrical current was detected.
- 3). Assemble the Hampton Bay ceiling fan following the manufacturer's directions. Attach the hanging bracket provided with the mounting hardware to the ceiling electrical box. Hang the Hampton bay fan from the hanging bracket.
- 4). Install the remote receiver to the Hampton Bay fan. The fan has four wires installed in the motor: a black wire for the fan motor, white for the neutral wire, blue for the light kit, and a green ground wire. Match the black, white, blue and green wires from the fan to the four-wire side of the remote with the same wire colors. Connect the two black wires together, the two white wires together, the two blue wires together and the two green wires together. Twist an orange wire connector to each set of wires.
- 5). Connect the three-wire side of the receiver to the house wires inside the ceiling electrical box. Match the black wire from the remote receiver to the black wire inside the electrical box; the white wire from the receiver to the white wire in the box; and the green wire from the receiver to the bare copper wire in the electrical box. Twist an orange wire connector onto each set of wires.
- 6). Push the wires from the Hampton bay fan and receiver into the ceiling electrical box and behind the mounting bracket. Slide the ceiling fan canopy over the bracket and attach it with the four screws from the mounting hardware.
- 7). Turn the breaker on inside the main electrical panel to supply electricity to the ceiling fan.
