MAINTENANCE

DANGER

ALWAYS SHUT OFF THE FAN AND UNPLUG
IT FROM ITS POWER SOURCE TO PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL STARTING AND THE
POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
AND/OR ELECTROCUTION. BE SURE THE
FAN BLADE HAS STOPPED ROTATING
BEFORE PLACING ANY OBJECTS OR
FINGERS NEAR THE FAN GRILL.

1. Visually check all fastners and individual
components for loose or broken parts. Tighten or
replace items, as required, only with genuine, factory
approved replacement parts.

2. Keep the Fan blade clean from debris.
Accumulation of dust, dirt, paint, etc. on the Fan
blade will throw the blade rotation out of balance
resulting in damage. To clean the Fan blade, be sure
the plug is disconnected and the blade has stopped
rotating. Remove one grill and wipe blade and interior
shell housing clean of debris with a damp cloth and
mild liquid soap. Dry all parts thoroughly. 

DO NOT

PRESSURE WASH THE FAN.

Replace grill prior

to next operation.

DANGER

DO NOT OPERATE THE FAN WITHOUT THE
INLET AND OUTLET GRILL PROPERLY IN
PLACE.

3. Contact an Americ Authorized Service Center, or
Americ directly for Fan maintenance or repair not
described in this manual (or if you are unsure whether
maintenance is required.) at Tel# (847) 364-4646, or
