MAINTENANCE
· 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.
· There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated bearings.
CARE AND CLEANING
· Dust your fan periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners or materials as they may
damage the unit.
· To prevent bending the blades during cleaning, support the blades so that no pressure is applied to
them.
Caution!
Do not allow water to come in contact with fan blades or the ceiling fan. Doing so will create
fire and /or shock hazards, damaging property.
