An UPWARD airflow moves warmer air off the ceiling area as shown in Figure 22. This allows you to set your heating unit on a cooler setting without affecting your comfort .

CARE OF YOUR FAN

Here are some suggestions to help 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 the ceiling).
  2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the year. CAUTION: many common household cleaning products contain chemicals that could damage the finish of your fan. Use only a soft lint free cloth and soapy water.
  3. 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.
  4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
  5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
  6. 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.
