TROUBLESHOOTING
Before Requesting Service: Please follow this troubleshooting guide before contacting your dealer for assistance.
Caring for Finishes
: For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth
should be used to prevent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner
brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accu-
mulation of dirt and dust can easily be removed by using a mild
detergent and slightly dampened soft cloth. An antistatic agent
may be used, but
never
use abrasive cleaning agents. These will
damage the finish. Painted and high-gloss blades may be cleaned
in the same manner.
Blades
: Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture pol-
ishing cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be
applied for added protection and beauty.
Never Lubricate this Fan!
The precision motor at the heart of your Casablanca fan features
sealed bearings that are lubricated for life. Do not attempt to oil
the motor.
Changing Light Bulbs
Be sure to turn power to the fan OFF at the wall switch or circuit
breaker before changing light bulbs. Replace bulbs with same type
as removed from the fixture. Each fan is rated for a
maximum
TOTAL
wattage of lighting.
Exceeding the rated maximum allowable wattage for the fan will
burn out the fan electronics module and void the warranty.
