Care of Your Fan Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
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.)
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.
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.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has
permanently lubricated sealed ball
bearings.1.2.3.4.
Here are some suggestions to help you
maintain your fan.
Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire
connections in the switch housing.
Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and
receiver are set to the same frequency.
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 ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the
glassware are tight. Check 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.
This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping
in excess of 190 watts will disable your ceiling fan's light kit. To
reset your light kit you must turn the power off and relamp,
keeping the wattage under 190 watts. Restore power to your
ceiling fan and continue normal operation.
Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed
control(s).
Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
