CARE OF YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan

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 the ceiling).
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Use only a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Plated finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning, this could damage the motor, wood blades or possibly cause an electrical shock.
If your fan is provided with wood veneer blades; you can apply a light coat of furniture polish for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
If your fan is provided with glass shades, clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.

WARNING! MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION, “ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS”.

TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOM Fan will not start SOLUTION

Check fuses or circuit breakers.
Check wall control connections.
Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
Check to make sure the reverse is set to one side. If switch is located in the middle it might not make proper contact.

SYMPTOM Fan Sounds Noisy SOLUTION

Allow a 24-hour “break-in” period. Most noises as sociated with a new fan go away during this time.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.

SYMPTOM Fan Wobble SOLUTION

Check that all blade and blade holder screws are secured.
Use the balancing kit provided if the wobble is excessive. (follow instructions included with balancing kit.)

NOTE: All Blade sets are grouped by weight. Because blades vary in density, the fan may wobble even though blades are weight matched.
