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) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
• (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

• Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
• Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
• Check to make sure the frequency switches from the remote control and receiver are set to the same frequency.

The fan sounds noisy.|

• Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
• Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the motor hub are tight.
• Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
• Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
• If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware is secured tightly.
• Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
• Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
