12. Care of Your Fan
Here are some suggestions to help maintain
your fan.
1. Because of the fan's natural movement
some connections maybecome loose. Check
the support connections, brackets and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they
are secure. (Itis 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 lightapplication of shoepolish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster
to remove dustfrom the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor
has permanently lubricatedbearings.
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 atthe electrical panelbox
Before you attempt any repairs.
