Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning
your fan.
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 the fan from the ceiling.
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as 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.
You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a
light application of shoe polish.
You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
The fan will not start.
The fan is noisy.
The fan wobbles.
The fan moves
backwards and
forwards when
turned on.
Light kit does not
dim.
Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check that the light kit plug is connected to the motor plug.
Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing.
Check the battery in the remote control to make sure the protective wrap has been removed and it is oriented
properly.
Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 ft.
Ensure the dip switch settings are the same on the remote control and receiver.
Remember to turn off the power supply before checking the dip switches settings.
Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.
Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
Ensure the 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 you are using the Ceiling Fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light
bulbs are also secure.
Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box.
Check that all blade bracket screws are secure and that all the blades are fully latched into place.
Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the
ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure from a point on the center of each blade to the point on the
ceiling. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement. Repeat for each
blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to
wobble please contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.
This is normal start-up procedure for DC motor fans. The partial movement during start-up is the result of the DC
motor aligning the internal magnetic poles for proper motor operation. This design saves electricity and allows
the fan to operate much quieter than standard AC motor fans.
Install dimmable light bulbs. The bulbs included in the box are non-dimmable CFL bulbs. To utilize the dimming
functionality, install 60-Watt (max) incandescent bulbs.
