Maintenance
Regular and proper maintenance will help ensure the optimal performance and extend the operational lifespan of your Craftmade ceiling fan.

- Tightening Screws: Annually inspect and tighten all screws on the motor housing, blade attachments, and mounting hardware. Loose screws can contribute to fan wobble or noise.
- Dust Removal: Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner or a dry cloth to remove dust from the motor vents. This helps prevent overheating and maintains motor efficiency.
