Care of Your Fan Troubleshooting
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain
your fan.
1. Because of the fan's natural movement, some
connections may become loose. Check the
support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are
secure. (It is not necessary to remove fan from
ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its
new appearance over the years. Do not use
water when cleaning. Use only a soft brush or
lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
The plating is sealed with a lacquer to
minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not
use water when cleaning. This could damage
the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an
electrical shock.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish
to the wood blades for additional protection
and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches
with a light application of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has
permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

WARNING
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX
BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION,
"MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS".
Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections
in the switch housing.
Check to make sure the switches from the transmitter and receiver are
set to the same frequency.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub
are tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a
new fan disappear during this time.
If using the ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glassware are tight.
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It
should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used
between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control(s).
Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
