Removing the plastic binder from the motor head before or during installation will damage the oscillating mechanism.
****CAUTION: If you are going to attach the fan assembly (A) to a wood stud or wood post, the stud or wood post must be at least 4 inches wide and thick enough to sustain the wall mounting bracket (B) and the weight of the fan assembly (A).
****WARNING: To reduce the risk of the fan falling, use all six mounting holes in the wall mounting bracket (B) when installing the wall mounting bracket (B).

User Servicing Instructions
REPLACING THE FUSE
WARNING : Risk of fire. Do not replace attachment plug. Contains a safety device (fuse, AFCI, LCD) that should not be removed. Discard product if the attachment plug is damaged.
The three-prong plug is installed with a fuse (MM) that is a vital safety device. A filament inside the fuse (MM) is designed to melt and cut the circuit if the current gets too high. This prevents damage to your fan and the person using it and stops the power cord from overeating to the point where it could catch fire.
If you should need to replace the fuse, grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. Locate the fuse cover at the end of the plug on the power cord. Slide the fuse cover open to expose the fuse. Using needle-nose pliers (not included), remove the fuse. Inspect the fuse — the small, glass tube with metal on each end — to determine whether it will need to be replaced. If the fuse is blown, it will look dark and smudged or the visible wire inside will be broken. Use a replacement the fuse with a rating of 5 amps, 125 volts only, and insert the fuse in between the metal brackets inside the fuse housing. Slide the fuse cover shut.
Care and Cleaning
Do
- 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.
- 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.
- (Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.
Do not
- Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
- Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.
Troubleshooting
WARNING : Make sure the power is off at the electrical panel box before you attempt any repairs. Refer to step 7 “Making the electrical connections” on page 10.
