Maintenance

• Cleaning: To avoid damage to the finish, clean the fan with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

• Fan Does Not Operate: Check that the power is on at the circuit breaker and wall switch. Ensure all wiring connections are secure. Verify remote control batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted.
