Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).

Make sure the frequency switches are set correctly.

The fan wobbles.

The remote control is 
not working.

Problem

Solution

Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.

Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in 

the fan motor assembly

.

Check to make sure the frequency switches from the remote control and receiver are set to the same 

frequency.

Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade to the motor hub are tight.

Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch 

housing.

Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this time.
If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware is secured tightly.
Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy.  It should not touch the ceiling.
Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting 

bracket and outlet box.

The fan will not start.

The fan sounds noisy.

Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by

loose parts). Once the fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan 

self-adjust.

If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process:

     Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades, then select any fan blade and measure       

     from the center of the selected blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is 

     positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade.

    Measurement deviations should be within 1/8 in.

     If all deviations are less than 1/8 in. and the fan continues to wobble, please call Customer Service  

     (1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order a complimentary blade balancing kit.

     If deviation is greater than 1/8 in., please call Customer Service (1-855-HD-HAMPTON) to order 

     complimentary replacements of your brackets.

Troubleshooting

Care and Cleaning

Check the support connections, brackets, and blade attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure. Because of the fan’s 
natural movement, some connections may become loose over time. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
Clean your fan periodically. 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.
(Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades.
(Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish.

Do

Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Do not
