[LeJuliette]

To keep your BROAN 670 Ceiling-Wall Fan running smoothly and efficiently, regular cleaning and maintenance are key. Here's a simple guide:

1. Cleaning the Grille:

   • Use a mild detergent, like dish soap, to clean the grille.
   • Dry the grille thoroughly with a soft cloth.
   • Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, as they can damage the grille.

2. Cleaning the Fan Assembly:

   • Always disconnect the power supply before you start cleaning.
   • Unplug the motor cord from the electrical outlet.
   • To remove the motor plate, gently push up near the tab located on the motor plate while pushing out on the side of the fan housing. Alternatively, you can insert a straight-blade screwdriver into the slot next to the tab and twist the screwdriver.
   • Carefully vacuum the fan blades, motor, and the inside of the housing to remove dust and debris.
   • Never immerse metal or electrical parts in water.

3. Reassembling Parts:

   • Once everything is clean and dry, reverse the steps above to reassemble the fan.

4. Maintenance:

   • The motor in your BROAN 670 fan is permanently lubricated, so you don't need to add oil.
   • If you hear unusual noises from the motor bearings, replace the motor with the exact service motor specified for your fan. It's also a good idea to replace the impeller at the same time.

Following these steps will help ensure your BROAN 670 Ceiling-Wall Fan continues to provide optimal performance for years to come.
