Mounting the Fan Blades
Maintenance
Blade Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of your new ceiling fan is the only
maintenance that is needed. When cleaning, use only a
soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the fi nish.
Abrasive and/or non-abrasive cleaning agents are not
required and should be avoided to prevent damage to
fi nish.
Do not use water when cleaning your ceiling fan. It
could damage the motors or the blades and create the
possibility of electrical shock.
WARNING
Periodic light dusting of the Palm Leaf, Wooden, Wicker
and Woven Bamboo blades is recommended. A feather
duster will work best. Avoid using water, cleansers, or
harsh rags, which can warp and tear the blades.
Do not connect fan blades until the fan is completely
installed. Installing the fan with blades assembled may
result in damage to the fan blades.
INSTALLATION NOTE
You will fi nd the fan blade set packed in its own carton and the blade holders and hardware bag in the base assembly
carton. The hardware bag for the blade holders consists of 10 screws.

the inside of the blade holder facing up. This is the side

the blade holder with the threaded posts showing. Make
sure the bottom edge of the blade is fully seated against

positioning the holes over the threaded posts.
4. With a Philips screwdriver, thread both screws into the
posts but do not fully tighten.

blade holder with the center of the end of the blade.
