Care of Your Fan
Here are some suggestions to help 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 the ceiling).
2. Clean your fan periodically to help
maintain its new appearance over the years.
Use only a soft brush or lint free cloth to
avoid scratching the finish. Plated finishes
a r e s e a l e d w i t h l a c q u e r t o m i n i m i z e
discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use
water when cleaning, this could damage the
motor, wood blades or possibly cause an
electrical shock.
3. If your fan is provided with wood veneer
blades; you can apply a light coat of
furniture polish for additional protection
and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches
with a light application of shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster
to remove dust from the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor
has permanently lubricated bearings.
6. If your fan is provided with glass shades,
clean with lukewarm soapy water and a soft
cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE GLASS
SHADES IN HOT WATER. DO NOT PUT
GLASS SHADES INTO AN AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER.
WARNING: Make sure the power
is off at the electrical panel box
Before you attempt any repairs.
Refer to the section, "Making
Electrical Connections".
