Care of your fan
Troubleshooting
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. 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, the
wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. 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.
4. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has
permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.
-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 a ceiling fan 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.
