1. Remove and inspect the fuse, and replace if
necessary. For fuse removal instructions, see
“Cleaning the Fan” on page 24.
2. Remove the Pop N’ Lock™ screen ring by grasping
the finger tab with one hand and pulling straight
down. Use your free hand to brace against the screen
assembly (control panel) to prevent breaking the Pop
N’ Lock™ screen. Removing the Pop N’ Lock may
be difficult at first, but will get easier with repeated
removal.
3. Use one hand to hold the fan blade to prevent it from
turning and remove the Phillips-head screw from the
center hub face of the fan blade. With the fan-blade
screw removed, grasp the fan blade with two hands
on opposite sides (for example, the 3:00 and 9:00
positions) and pull down firmly. It may be necessary to
wiggle the fan blade up-and-down and side-to-side
until it slides off the motor shaft.
4. Clean the Pop N’ Lock™ screen insert and fan blade
with window cleaner or non-abrasive dish soap and
warm water. You may also place the screen insert and
fan blade in the top rack of an automatic dishwasher.

Optional: Once the screen and blade are clean and
dry, wipe or spray a waterbased (not petroleum-
based) protectant on the screen and blade, and
buff to a high gloss. This minimizes dust and dirt
build-up and eases future cleaning.
5. Re-assemble the fan by reversing the steps above.

4 A “Slow Blow” Fuse
1. Locate the black fuse-holder cap
on the face of
the screen assembly. Twist the fuse-holder cap in a
counter-clockwise direction (from right to left) 1/4 to
1/2 turn.
2. Gently pull down on the fuse-holder cap. The fuse-
holder cap should come free with the fuse attached
to the back side.
3. Inspect the fuse to see if the wire inside the glass
is broken and remove from the fuse-holder cap if
necessary.
4. Be sure to use only a 4 A “slow blow” fuse. Place one
end of the new fuse into the back side of the fuse-
holder cap, and gently push the other end of the fuse
up and into the fuse holder.
5. Screw the black fuse-holder cap back into place by
turning in a clockwise direction (left to right) until
snug (1/4 to 1/2 turn), and release.
