Notes:
- Before rewiring any ceiling fan, turn off electrical current at source by turning off circuit breakers.
- CAUTION: Failing to disconnect power supply to ceiling fan may cause serious injury or death.
Wiring Steps For Ceiling Fans:
- Make sure the existing light switch has 2 wires. If there are 3 wires, A 3-wire switch is required.
- Cut the two wires from the existing light switch using wire stripper.
- Strip black wires around 1/2 inch.
- Connect one black wire from the light switch to one black wire from the ceiling fan.
- Connect the other black wire from the light switch to the other black wire from the ceiling fan.
- Secure connection between the wires using wire connectors by twisting them in a clockwise (Connection of wires must be secured, otherwise, it may result in fire hazard, electrical shock or serious injury).
Which wire is hot and which is the ground? The switch has 2 black wires not different colors to distinguish between hot and ground

The wires on the switch are interchangeable that is why they are both black.
