Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your fan.
- Cleaning: Before cleaning, ensure the power to the fan is turned off at the circuit breaker. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the fan housing and blades. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.

- Tightening Screws: Periodically check all screws on the fan and mounting hardware to ensure they are tight. Loose screws can cause noise or wobble.
