At least twice each year, lower canopy to check down rod assembly, and then tighten all screws on

blades with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to wood blades
for added protection. Important: Shut off main power supply before beginning and maintenance. Do
not use water or a damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
