Care of Your Fan

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. 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, or 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.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

Fan will not start

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.

Fan sounds noisy

1.

Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

 

2.

Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the

 

 

motor hub is tight.

 

3.

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.

 

5.

If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the screws securing

 

 

the glassware are tight.

 

 

Check that the light bulb is also secure.

 

6.

Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the

 

 

canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.

 

7.

Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator

 

 

pads are used between mounting bracket and outlet box.

 

 

WARNING

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF AT THE ELECTRICAL

 

 

PANEL BOX BEFORE YOU ATTEMPY ANY REPAIRS.

 

 

REFER TO THE SECTION, “MAKING ELECTRICAL
