TROUBLESHOOTING
At least twice each year, lower the canopy to check the downrod assembly, and then tighten all screws
on the fan. Clean the motor housing with only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish.
Clean the blades with a lint-free cloth. You may occasionally apply a light coat of furniture polish to wood
blades for added protection.
Important:
Shut off the main power supply before you begin any maintenance tasks. Do not use water or
a damp cloth to clean the ceiling fan.
Problem: The fan does not move
1. Turn the power on or check the fuse.
2. Turn the power off. Loosen the canopy and check all connections.
3. Check that the connectors from the light kit fitter and fan are connected properly.
4. Disable the power supply to the fan motor and re-start the motor.
5. The blade is overweight. Do not install the unapproved blades.
