I used Hunter fans and one of the instruction books (not all) explained the wiring with a separate wall switch for the light. I also searched the internet for basic wiring and it explained the colors of the wire. Fortunately my wiring followed the explanations.
Your fan probably has no way to turn on the light (like a pull chain). That is because the fan and the light is designed for separate wall switches.
