<h1>Ceiling Fan Installation</h1>
<p>This playbook describes the sequential steps to install a ceiling fan in place of an existing light fixture. It covers electrical safety precautions, assembly, and mounting of the ceiling fan.</p>

<h3>Step 1: Safety Precautions</h3>
<p>Turn off the power to the light fixture at the circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure electrical safety before beginning the fan installation.</p>

<h3>Step 2: Remove Fixture</h3>
<p>Remove the existing light fixture by unscrewing the hardware, disconnecting the wiring, and carefully setting aside any parts that can be reused or need to be discarded.</p>

<h3>Step 3: Prepare Bracket</h3>
<p>Install the ceiling fan mounting bracket using the provided hardware. Ensure the bracket is securely attached to the ceiling joist or support structure.</p>

<h3>Step 4: Assemble Fan</h3>
<p>Follow the manufacturer's instructions to assemble the ceiling fan components, typically including attaching blades to the motor unit and prepping the wiring.</p>

<h3>Step 5: Hang Fan</h3>
<p>Carefully lift the fan and hang it on the bracket. This may require a second person for support. Once it is hanging, proceed to wire the fan following electrical standards.</p>

<h3>Step 6: Wire Fan</h3>
<p>Connect the fan wiring to the house wiring: matching the ground wire, then the neutral wire, and finally the hot wire. Secure all connections with wire nuts and ensure no bare wires are exposed.</p>

<h3>Step 7: Secure Fan</h3>
<p>Once the wires are connected, push them into the electrical box, and secure the fan's canopy to hide the wiring and hardware.</p>

<h3>Step 8: Install Bulbs</h3>
<p>If your ceiling fan includes a lighting element, insert the appropriate light bulbs into the sockets.</p>

<h3>Step 9: Test Fan</h3>
<p>Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse and test the ceiling fan for proper operation. Check for any unusual noises or movements and ensure the light works, if applicable.</p>

<h2>General Notes</h2>

<h3>Check Compatibility</h3>
<p>Before starting the installation, make sure the ceiling fan is suitable for the room size and that the electrical box can support the fan’s weight.</p>

<h3>Additional Tools</h3>
<p>You may need additional tools or accessories that are not included with the ceiling fan, such as a Phillips-head screwdriver, wire stripper, and step ladder.</p>

<h3>Consult Electrician</h3>
<p>If you are not familiar with electrical systems or uncomfortable with the installation process, it's advisable to consult with a licensed electrician.</p>
