Care of Your Fan
Here are some suggestions to help you
maintain your fan.
1. Because of the fan’s natural movement,
some connections may become loose.
Check the support connections,
brackets, and blade attachments
twice a year. Make sure they are
secure. (It is not necessary to remove
fan from ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help
maintain its new appearance over the
years. Do not use water when cleaning,
this could damage the motor or the
wood or possibly cause an electrical
shock. 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.
Warning - Make sure the power is off
before cleaning your fan.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture
polish to the wood for additional
protection and enhanced beauty. Cover
small scratches with a light application
of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan.
The motor has permanently lubricated
sealed ball bearings.
MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX BE-
FORE YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION,
“MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.”

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers
2. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off. Check line wire con-
nections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch
housing.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the
motor hub are tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each
other or the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour “breaking in” period. Most noises associated with
a new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using the Ceiling Fan light kit, make sure the tensioners or
screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb
is also secure.
6. Make sure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling.
It should not touch the ceiling.
7. Make sure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads
were used between the mounting bracket and outlet box.
