Installation Instructions

These replacement blades are designed to fit most 70-inch fans with standard pre-drilled holes. Always ensure the power to the ceiling fan is turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning any installation or maintenance.

Standard Installation:

1. Remove Old Blades: Carefully unscrew and remove the existing fan blades from your ceiling fan's blade arms.
2. Attach New Blades: Align the pre-drilled holes on the new Craftmade B570E-WB6 blades with the holes on your fan's blade arms. Secure the blades using the appropriate screws and washers (typically provided with the fan or existing hardware). Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
3. Repeat: Repeat the process for all five replacement blades.
4. Test: Once all blades are installed, restore power to the fan and test its operation.

Custom Resizing Instructions (If Needed):

If the pre-drilled holes on the new blades do not perfectly align with your fan's blade arms, custom adjustments may be necessary. Note: Blades that have been altered are not eligible for return.

1. Uninstall Old Blades: Remove the old blades from your fan.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Craftmade fan blades, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Dust the blades regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild wood cleaner, then immediately wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the blade attachment screws to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can cause wobbling and noise.
• Damp Locations: While approved for damp locations, avoid direct water exposure or excessive humidity to prevent warping or damage to the wood.

Troubleshooting

These fan blades are passive components. Most operational issues relate to the fan motor or installation rather than the blades themselves. If you experience issues after blade replacement, consider the following:

• Fan Wobble: Ensure all blades are securely attached and balanced. An unbalanced fan can cause wobbling. Blade balancing kits are available separately if needed.
• Noise: Check that all screws are tightened. Loose components can create rattling or clicking sounds.
• Airflow Issues: Verify that the blades are installed with the correct orientation to ensure proper airflow.

For issues related to the fan's electrical components or motor, refer to your ceiling fan's specific instruction manual or contact a qualified electrician.
