6. Care for 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 over time. 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 or chemicals
when cleaning. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. The polished chrome
finish is sealed with a lacquer to minimise discolouration or tarnishing. The use of water or chemicals for
cleaning this fan may damage the motor, blades or other components, and possibly cause an electrical shock.
3. There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings.
Problem Solution
Fan will not start. 1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections through any isolation switch that may be installed on
the wall.
Fan sounds noisy. 1. Make sure all motor housing screws are tight.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
3. Allow a 24-hour “breaking-in” period. Most noises associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
4. If using the Ceiling Fan light kit, make sure the glassware and the light bulbs are
also secure.
5. Make sure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the
ceiling.
6. Make sure your ceiling bracket is secure and the rubber isolator pads are in place
between the hanger bracket and ceiling.
Fan wobbling. All fans wobble to some degree but if excessive make sure the ball joint is properly
seated in the hanger bracket and the fastening hanger ball screw is tight. Next check
for unbalanced blades by re-attaching blades to a different position on the fan motor.
7. Troubleshooting
Turn on the power and check the operation of the fan with the Wall control. The fan is best started from the high
speed position (I) and then if necessary adjusted down to lower speeds (II) medium (III) low. To turn off, return
knob to (0) position.
5. Operating Your Fan
WARNING. For your own safety, turn off power at fuse box or circuit breaker before trouble
shooting your fan. Some suggested remedies require the attention of a licensed electrician.
