Care and Cleaning
□Check the support connections, brackets, and blade
attachments twice a year. Make sure they are secure.
Because of the fan’s natural movement, some
connections may become loose over time. It is not
necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling.
□Clean your fan periodically. 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.
□(Optional) Apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood
blades.
□(Optional) Cover small scratches with a light application of
shoe polish.

NOTE: Wait for the fan to stop before reversing the direction
of the blade rotation.
REVERSE SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
REVERSE SWITCH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The reverse switch is located on the surface of the switch housing.
This switch controls directions: forward (switch down) or reverse
(switch up).
Warm weather - (Counter-clockwise Direction) A downward airflow
creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner
on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Clockwise Direction) An upward air flow moves
warm air off the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on
a lower setting without affecting your comfort.
15
□Use water when cleaning. Water could damage the motor,
or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
□Apply oil to your fan or motor. The motor has permanently
lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Do not

Troubleshooting
□This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in excess of 190 watts will disable your
ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your light kit you must turn the power off and relamp, keeping the
wattage under 190-watts. Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal operation.
The lights shut off and will
not come back on.
The fan wobbles.
Problem
Problem
Solution
Solution
□Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
□Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
□Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
□Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade arm to the motor hub are tight.
□Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling 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.
□If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the glassware are secured tight. Check that the light bulb is also
secure.
□Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.
□Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting bracket
and outlet box.
The fan will not start.
The fan sounds noisy.
WARNING: Make sure the power is off at the electrical
panel box before you attempt any repairs. Refer to step 3
“Making the electrical connections” on page 9.
16
□Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by
loose parts). Once the fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan
self-adjust.
If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process:
- Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades, then select any fan blade and
measure from the center of the selected blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next
blade is positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade.
Measurement deviations should be within 1/8 in..
