Care of Your Fan
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.)
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its
2.
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.
You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to
3.
the wood blades for additional protection and
enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a
light application of shoe polish.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has
4.
permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire
connections in the switch housing.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the
motor hub is tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each
other or the interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION:
Make sure main power is off.
Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises
associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the screws securing
the glassware are tight.
Check that the light bulb is also secure.
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 mounting bracket and outlet box.
WARNING
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL
PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPY ANY REPAIRS.
REFER TO THE SECTION, "MAKING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS".
