Care and Cleaning
Troubleshooting
□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.

Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem
Problem
Solution
Solution
□Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).
□Make sure the frequency switches are set correctly.
The fan wobbles.
The remote control is
not working.
□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
