TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before Requesting Service: Please follow this troubleshooting guide before contacting your dealer for assistance.

Caring for Finishes: For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to prevent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accu- mulation of dirt and dust can easily be removed by using a mild detergent and slightly dampened soft cloth. An antistatic agent may be used, but never use abrasive cleaning agents. These will damage the finish. Painted and high-gloss blades may be cleaned in the same manner.

Blades: Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture pol- ishing cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied for added protection and beauty.

Never Lubricate this Fan!

The precision motor at the heart of your Casablanca fan features sealed bearings that are lubricated for life. Do not attempt to oil the motor.

Changing Light Bulbs

Be sure to turn power to the fan OFF at the wall switch or circuit breaker before changing light bulbs. Replace bulbs with same type as removed from the fixture. Each fan is rated for a maximum TOTAL wattage of lighting.

Exceeding the rated maximum allowable wattage for the fan will burn out the fan electronics module and void the warranty.
