the screen fix is to keep the leaves out.  leaves in the fan area present a
fire hazard in a milano.  leaves can cause a rustling sound, but are not
directly responsible for squeaking motor shafts.

it's wise to pull out the milano heater motor on a regular basis (every year
or two) if you park under trees, and remove any leaves that might be in
there.  it's easy to lube the motor shaft while it's out.
