Fanaway Classic from FANAWAY® is an advanced ceiling fan with unique aesthetics and energy efficient design. Switched off,the traditionally intrusive fan blades automatically retract and conceal,and visually the unit transforms into a slim,modern light pendant. Turning the fan on creates a centrifugal force which deploys the blades to circulate air within a room. It creates open space in the room environment,accumulates less dust,and is unobtrusive and versatile to visually integrate into most building interiors. The Fanaway Classic takes it influence from Hamptons and Industrial styling, with its exposed globe design making something that is really unique. The star of this Fanaway design is the light that features 3 lamp holders, which enhance every ounce of its vintage charm. To clean the glass shade of the Fanaway Classic, firstly give it a thorough dusting to remove the loose matter, then use plain warm water and wipe with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a solution of warm soapy water (dishwashing liquid - Morning Fresh is a good recommendation) or window cleaner - Windex for Glass - not the All Purpose type) on a soft cloth such as a Chux or similar. Please note- this fan with it's advanced blade technology does require that the blades be cleaned regularly. For optimal performance, we recommend you clean your Fanaway blades every season.
