Caring for Finishes:
For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be
used to prevent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner
brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Surface smudges or
an accumulation of dirt and dust can easily be removed by
using a mild detergent and slightly dampened soft cloth.
An antistatic agent may be used, but never use abrasive cleaning agents. These will damage the finish.
Painted and high-gloss blades may be cleaned in the same
manner.
Blades: Wood finish
blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied
for added protection and beauty. |

Never Lubricate this Fan!
The precision motor at the heart
of your Casablanca fan features sealed bearings that are lubricated
for life. Do not attempt to oil the motor.
Changing Light Bulbs
Be sure to turn power to the
fan OFF at the wall switch or circuit breaker before changing
light bulbs. Replace bulbs with same type as removed from
the fixture. Each fan is rated for a maximum TOTAL wattage of lighting.
Exceeding the rated maximum allowable
wattage for the fan will burn out the fan electronics module
and void the warranty. |
