WARNING

MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOX 

BEFORE YOU ATTEMPY ANY REPAIRS. REFER TO THE SECTION, 

“MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS”.

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 
ceiling.)

Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its 
new appearance over the years. Do not use 
water when cleaning. 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 sealed ball bearings.

Here are some suggestions to help you maintain 
your fan.

Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check 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 bracket to the motor hub 
is 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 ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the 
glassware are 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 mounting bracket and outlet box.

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.
