Maintenance

Before servicing or cleaning your fan, switch power off at service panel and lock the 
service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. 
When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent 
warning device, such a tag, to the service panel.

•  Your fan uses maintenance free, sealed bearings. There is no need to lubricate the 

motor bearings or inner shaft.

• It is recommended that you inspect your fan at least annually to confirm that all blade 

screws and mounting hardware remain securely fastened as when originally installed.

•  Periodic surface cleaning may be necessary depending on the amount of dust and 

particulate accumulation on the blades and surfaces of your fan. Use a damp cloth.  
If necessary, a light, non-abrasive soap solution may be used.

• If installed in a coastal, humid environment, regular surface cleaning may be necessary 

in order to avoid deterioration or oxidizing effects of salt or other corrosive elements.  
A Damp Location rating is not an assurance of finish durability. Preventative measures 
should be taken dependent on the environmental exposures your fan will undergo in 
order to preserve and protect the finish quality and appearance of your fan.

• If a wobble develops over time, you may need to rebalance your fan following the 

instructions that were included with the balancing kit. If the blades have warped, 
twisted, bent or become uneven in weight distribution, replacement blades may be the 
best course of action and can be purchased by contacting The Modern Fan Co. directly.

• If a noise develops over time (clicking, ticking, humming or otherwise), refer to the 

troubleshooting section of this manual (pages 12-13). If you are unable to remedy the 
issue, contact Modern Fan customer service for further assistance.

  Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any  

questions contact The Modern Fan Co.
