Learn how to install a Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan in your home from Del Mar Fans & Lighting. Our Minka Aire expert walks viewers through each step of the flush mount installation process. The Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan install requires 75 percent less time than traditional hugger ceiling fans.
The Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan features a compact motor housing with three furniture-quality veneer blades, integrated halogen lighting, and three-speed handheld remote or wall control. The Concept II ceiling fan is designed for rooms with ceilings less than eight feet tall. The hugger ceiling fan offers two blade options, 44-inch blades that are ideal for rooms ranging in size from 110 square feet to 150 square feet, and 52-inch blades that are ideal for rooms ranging in size from 150 square feet to 300 square feet. The Concept II fan also offers a UL-rated outdoor version for wet locations such as exposed gazebos, patios, or porches. See the entire Minka Aire Concept Collection at www.delmarfans.com/minka-aire-...
For the Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan install, you will need a Phillips-head screwdriver, a straight-slot screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, and a ladder. Confirm all ceiling parts are included in the original packaging and use the owner's manual as a guide. Turn off power at the circuit breaker box.
To begin the Minka Aire Concept II ceiling fan install, secure the hanger bracket to the junction box. Hang the motor housing from the hook on the bracket. Insert the receiver unit into the bracket. Connect the ceiling fan, receiver and house supply wires with the plastic wire nuts provided. Secure motor housing to the hanger bracket with the screws provided. Insert the fan blades into the slots on the motor housing. Install the 100-watt light bulb and glass shade to the motor housing. Test the ceiling fan to confirm the blades spin appropriately and the light turns on.

*Love it! Keeps the room very **Fastly.Cool** . The manual states it comes with a year warranty and 5 year part replacement. The compressor makes the typical sound...small price to pay for AC.*

Watched this video and then went to install my new Concept II fan. Had to take an old ceiling fan down first, then installed the new fan. Did it all within forty minutes and it looks great and it works! Was careful to give the glass light cover a 1/4 inch turn in hopes I can remove it if the need should arise. I am a 62 year old female and cannot believe I did this all by myself. Do admit that I texted my sister to let her know if she did not hear from me in an hour to call for help! Was very simple but the motor was heavy for me. Thanks for the video!

Hello Meghan - The red wire is hot as well. The Concept II fan only requires one hot wire to successfully install. Since you have 2 switches at the wall, you may opt to use both. Thereby, there would be able to turn the light ON or OFF as you enter or exit the room. To accomplish this, simply detach the "blue" wire from the factory installed receiver and connect directly to the "red" wire. The only drawback from this application is the inability to dim the lights since the blue wire is NOT routed through the receiver. We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

According to the Minka Aire Concept Installation instructions, your fan should have come with a blade removal tool. It looks like a circle attached to a hooked piece of metal. You can remove the two screws, washers and rubber covers from the motor housing. Then remove the blades by pulling the safety pin via the opening above the blade in the motor housing. We hope this helps!

I bought 3 of these 2 years ago - great products. One of them recently has not worked with remote - I could previously reset the remote/receiver in the normal way. Now, the only way to get communication is to take fan down and rescrew connections, put it back up, and it resets when I push stop button in normal way. This lasts for a couple hours and then no communication again. Does this mean that the green receiver is going and needs replacement? Have replaced battery, tried other pin combinations.

Jim Conner - Are you trying to program that remote control for another fan? Other than the one the fan in the other room that you are receiving a signal for? If this is the case, you have to make sure that the fan that you are trying to program with the remote control has a different frequency than the fan in the other room. You will have to locate the receiver in the fans canopy and create a new frequency combination using the dip switch settings. You will then have to change the dip switch settings in the remote to match your fans dip switch settings. You should then be able to program the remote for that particular fan without receiving a signal for the fan in the other room. Please let us know if this is not what you are referring to and if you still need additional help! Thank you!

Hi I also have the additional red wire coming from ceiling not shown in the video. My prewired room has 2 switches for fan so you can control light dimming and fan speed independently with 2 knobs. My concept 2 also has a remote control with it. How do I wire this fan so I have full control at the wall and on the remote?

Hi Zach. I have the Concept II Wet model and had no issues with installation. Shortly afterward, the fan developed a clicking noise as the blades rotated. I can't find the source of the noise exactly except that it's is in sync with the rotation of the fan. I've re-checked all screws / connections and all seems OK, but still the fan makes the loud clicking noise. Any suggestions?

Hi! I just installed this - but my problem is that I had 3 wires in the box (red, black, white) and two wires from the fan/light. I connected white to white, black to black, and capped the red from the box. I grounded the green. The old light/fan was operated by 2 wall switches. Well, it doesn't work - could the red wire be the hot wire? Thanks!

When re installing fan blades after the fan has been in use - use a little 3 in 1 oil on the blade itself on the slot and hole on the blade not the fan shroudding. Makes it a whole lot easier to insert the fan blades...

@Delmarfans 11 жыл бұрын

So sorry that you have been having trouble with your Concept II fan! You can try removing the glass shade and running the fan. This may be where the source of the noise is coming from. If the noise is eliminated, simply re-install (re-position) the glass until the noise stops. If you have not done so already, you can make sure that the outlet box is secure and the hanger bracket is secure to the outlet box. If the noise continues, call Technical Support at (800) 221-7977 for diagnostic support.

I just self-installed this fan and the bracket droops on one side which makes the fan wobble slightly and be very noisy from bumping against the ceiling. I tightened into the junction box as much as possible. What's the next step? Should I uninstall the fan and check the junction box to make sure it's level? If it is, then what?

@Delmarfans 9 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question *****! Since you tightened the junction box the other problem could be that one of the blades is not installed properly causing the fan to be off balanced. I would recommend making sure that all of the blades are installed properly and securely. If you still have issues after you try that I would recommend calling Minka-Aire at 1-800-307-3267 and they will be able to help in making sure it is installed properly and securely. Hope that helps! -Alexa

I've had this fan for several years now and I always felt it was extremely slow moving air. Recently a friend bought the same fans and hers are very efficent. She has no complaints and tells me her fan move air quite well. I watched several videos on here and realized this fan does go anywhere as fast as the ones shown. Is there something I can do to get the fan to work properly? or is this a defective fan.

The night after our fan was installed, (we hired someone to install it) an intermittent clicking sound started. I’ve heard from two different places to run the fan for a 24 hour break in period, so I’m letting it run, but it seems to be clicking more steadily. I’ve also read that I might need to tighten a screw. Which screws should I tighten?

Hi Beckie! We'd recommend watching our "How to Fix a Wobbly Fan" video, as it shows everything on the fan that should be tightened and aligned (even if it's not wobbling): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opyqaMR_psull3k.html

I installed the Minka Aire F574-BNW wet version to the undersurface of my patio cover. While it does not wobble, there is the appearance of the unit being off center when it is spinning at the highest RPM. There is no noise and no wobbling. There is just an asymmetric appearance as the unit spins around the light. Is this a manufacturing or installation defect? Thank you very much.
