Pull the electrical wires from the ceiling box through the center hole of the mounting bracket. Use wire strippers to strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the house wires and the fan wires. Connect the corresponding wires: typically, black to black (hot), white to white (neutral), and green or bare copper to green (ground). Secure these connections using twist-on wire connectors, ensuring no bare wire is exposed outside the connector. Tuck the wires neatly into the electrical box.
