Troubleshooting - Hunter Ceiling fan Installation And Operation Manual

cleaning your ceiling fan
caring for finishes
For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to pre-
vent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can re-
move heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt
and dust can easily be removed by using a mild detergent and a
slightly dampened cloth. An artistic agent may be used, but never
use abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish.
caring for blades
Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing
cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied
for added protection and beauty. Painted and high-gloss blades
may be cleaned in the same manner as the fan finish.
