➤ Remove the fuse. Remove the Pop N' Lock
straight down. Use your free hand to brace against the screen assembly (control panel) to prevent breaking
the Pop N' Lock screen. Removal of the Pop N' Lock may be difficult at first, but will get easier with repeated
removal.
➤ Use one hand to hold the fan blade to prevent it from turning and remove the Phillips-head screw from the
center hub face of the fan blade. With the fan-blade screw removed, grasp the fan blade with two hands on
opposite sides (for example, the 3:00 and 9:00 positions) and pull down firmly. It may be necessary to wiggle
the fan blade up-and-down and side-to-side until it slides off the motor shaft.
➤ Clean the screen insert (Pop N' Lock) and fan blade with window cleaner or non-abrasive dish soap and warm
water. You may also place the screen insert and fan blade in the top rack of an automatic dishwasher.

Optional: Once the screen and blade are clean and dry, wipe or spray a water- based (not petrolium-
based) protectant on the screen and blade, and buff to high gloss. This minimizes dust and dirt build-up
and eases future cleaning.
➤ Re-assemble the fan by reversing the appropriate steps above.
