4.4 Wiring the Fan
- Connect the fan's electrical wires to the household wiring according to the wiring diagram provided in the separate wiring instructions (not included in this manual).

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ceiling fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically dust the fan blades and motor housing with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Blade Cleaning: For the natural wood blades, use a dry cloth. Avoid moisture to prevent warping or damage to the wood.
- Tighten Fasteners: Check all screws and fasteners on the fan and mounting hardware annually. Tighten any loose connections to prevent wobbling and noise.
- Blade Balancing: If the fan wobbles excessively, ensure all blades are securely attached and that the remote transmitter box is not interfering with the fan's balance within the ceiling box. A balancing kit (often sold separately) can be used to correct minor wobbles.
