Care and Cleaning
WARNING: Make sure the power is off at the electrical panel box before you attempt any repairs. Refer to the section Making Electrical
Connections Section.
Here are some suggestions to help you maintain your fan.
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 the fan from the ceiling.)
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. The plating is sealed with a lacquer to minimize discoloration or tarnishing. Do not use water when cleaning. This
could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood blades for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches
with a light application of shoe polish.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
Troubleshooting
WARNING: Make sure the power is off at the electrical panel box before you attempt any repairs. Refer to the section Making Electrical

Problem
The fan will not start.
Check circuit fuses or breakers.
Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
The fan sounds noisy.
Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing 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
Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls. If you have installed
this type of control, choose and install another type of control.
Make sure the motor housing is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
