Cool weather (Reverse) - An upward airflow moves warm air off of the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort. 14 Power Fan speed Reverse A. Warm weather B. Cool weather Care and Cleaning WARNING: Make sure the power is off before cleaning your fan. Because of the fans 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 the fan from the ceiling. Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years. Do not use water when cleaning, as this could damage the motor, or the wood, or possibly cause an electrical shock. Use only a soft brush or lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. You can apply a light coat of furniture polish to the wood for additional protection and enhanced beauty. Cover small scratches with a light application of shoe polish. You do not need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently-lubricated sealed ball bearings. Troubleshooting Problem The fan will not start. The fan is noisy. Solution Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers. Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housing. Check the battery in the remote control. Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 feet. Remember to turn off the power supply before checking the dip switch settings. Ensure all motor housing screws are snug. Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight. Ensure the 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 you are using the ceiling fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are tight. Check that the light bulbs are also secure. Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling. Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box. Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure. Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades. Measure from a point on the center of the blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned for measurement, and measure from the same point on each blade to the ceiling. Repeat for each blade. Any measurement deviation should be within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to wobble, please contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge. This is normal start-up procedure for DC motor fans. The partial movement during start-up is the result of the DC motor aligning the internal magnetic poles for proper motor operation. This design saves electricity and allows the fan to operate much more quietly than standard AC motor fans. The fan wobbles. The fan moves backwards and forwards when turned on.
