CARE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
Shut off main power supply before beginning any maintenance. Do not use water
or a damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
• At least twice each year, tighten all screws and lower canopy to check mounting plate screws.
• Clean fan housing with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Clean
blades with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to wood
blades for added protection.
• Bulb replacement: Use three (3) 40-watt max. type-A15 incandescent bulbs for the downlight and
four 25-watt max. type-A15 incandescent bulb for the uplight. CFL bulbs are not recommended for
this item.
• Battery Replacement: Use an A23 12-volt battery.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Fan sounds noisy. 1. Set screws are loose.
2. Using non-approved speed control.
3. Normal noise.
4. Wire connectors inside switch
housing rattling.
5. Cracked blade.
6. The distance from canopy to ceiling
is too great.
7. Faulty light bulb installation.
8. Glass is not secure.

speed controls. DO NOT USE a
solid-state variable speed control.

with a new fan will disappear after
this period.

not rattling against each other
or against the interior wall of the
switch housing.
5. Replace blades.
