14. CARE OF YOUR FAN
Here are some suggestions to help maintain your fan.
1. 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 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 light application of
shoe polish.
4. Use a lint free lightly damp cloth or duster to remove dust from the blades.
5. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
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 at the electrical panel box before you attempt any repairs.
Refer to the section, "Making Electrical Connections".

Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Remote control
malfunction.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the
switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are
set to the same frequency.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is
tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing. CAUTION: Make sure main power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware
are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.
6. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should
not touch the ceiling.
1. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).
2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
1. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling problems are caused when blade levels are unequal.
Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of
the blades. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is
positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation
should be equal within 1/8".
3. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by
side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother
operation.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT BEND
THE BLADE ARM WHILE INSTALLING, BALANCING THE BLADES, OR
CLEANING THE FAN. DO NOT INSERT FOREIGN OBJECTS BETWEEN
ROTATING FAN BLADES.
