Care of Your Fan Troubleshooting
Here are some suggestions to help you
maintain your fan.
Because of the fan's natural movement, some
1.
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
2.
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.
You can apply a light coat of furniture polish
3.
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.1.2.3.4.
