15. 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 are sealed with lacquer to
minimize 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".
