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. 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 the ceiling 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.
