    With a red and black you probably have 2 switches for the fan, 1 for light and 1 for fan, connect the black in the box to the fan black and the red to the blue. If only 1 switch, don't know why there would be a red and black, connect the black and blue to either the red or black in the box, whatever is the hot lead and use the pull chain or remote for control.
