Care of Your Fan

Here are some suggestions to help you
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 ceiling.)
2. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain
its new appearance over the years. Do not
use water when cleaning, this could damage
the motor, or the wood or possibly cause
an electrical shock. 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.
Warning - Make sure the power is off
before cleaning your fan.
3. You can apply a light coat of furniture pol-
ish to the wood for additional protection
and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches
with a light application of shoe polish.
4. There is no need to oil your fan.
The motor has permanently lubricated
sealed ball bearings.

Solution
1. Check main and branch 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.
1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub
are tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or
the interior wall of the switch housing.
CAUTION: Make sure power is off.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking in" period. Most noises associated with a
new fan disappear during this time.
5. If using the Ceiling Fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glassware are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
6. Make sure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling.
It should not touch the ceiling.
7. Make sure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used
between the mounting plate and outlet box.
