CARE AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Shut off main power supply before beginning any maintenance. Do not use water
or a damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
• At least twice each year, tighten all screws and lower canopy to check mounting plate screws.
• Clean fan housing with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Clean
blades with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to wood
blades for added protection.

four 25-watt max. type-A15 incandescent bulb for the uplight. CFL bulbs are not recommended for
this item.
• Battery Replacement: Use an A23 12-volt battery.

box is not securely fastened.
2. Setscrew in downrod assembly is
loose.

screws to the outlet box, and/or
secure outlet box.
