sure the fan blades spin freely. If you’re using a wall control, check the power to the
breaker from your control and try working your ceiling fan manually. (Normal switch only
for the fan power on/off)
Fan light not working| G) Make sure LED wires are connected to the circuit board. 2 Make sure the whole fan is powered.
The fan is noisy
and wobbling| Check if the blade screws are NOT rubbing against any part of the motor housing.
2 Check the pin wires are NOT connected against any moving parts. Check the down fan cup is NOT hitting the motor. Confirm the canopy is NOT  touching the ceiling while the fan is in operation. ® Check the down rod is NOT slanted. Tighten any loose screws on the light kit, fan blades, motor  coupling, down rod, brackets and mounting hardware. (j) Confirm the hanger ball is firmly seated in the mounting bracket. The ceiling beam
must meet the minimum tensile test strength of 30KG for installation. 9 Make sure the blades and brackets are NOT bent or deformed. Verify the wire connections are not rattling against each other. @Verify the fan blades are not cracked. If the fan blades are cracked, replace the damaged blades with a new blade set from the same brand as your ceiling fan to ensure compatibility. 12 Confirm the light kit is NOT slanting and hitting the motor.

Care & Cleaning

1. Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan  from the ceiling.
2. Clean your fan periodically. 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.
3. (Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
4. (Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.

DO NOT:

1. Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
2. Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.
   WARNING: Power off the fan before performing maintenance or cleaning the fan.
