Safety and the proper operation of your Casablanca fan both require a thorough knowledge of the
product and proper installation; therefore, before attempting to install and operate your Casablanca
fan, read this owner’s manual completely and carefully. Retain this manual for future reference.
CAUTION: T o av oid possible electrical shock, make certain that electricity is turned o ff
at the circuit breaker or fuse box before attempting any installation procedure.
BEFORE YOU START
• All wiring must be in accord ance with th e Nati onal Electri c Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1993 and the appropriate local electri cal
codes. The N ati on al Electri c Cod e requir es proper grounding as a precaution again st electri cal sh ock. A qu alified electrician should be consulted if you are unsure.
• This fan is design ed to be in stalled on an e xisting electri cal outlet bo x. Th e outlet box m ust be UL Listed f or ceilin g f an
installations , if it is not, a n ew box must be in stalled. Casablan ca extensi on poles are available f or sloped or high ceilin g
installations.
• This ceiling fan requires a grounded electrical supply of 120 VAC, 60 Hz and a minimum 15 amp circuit. The maximum
current requirement for the fan with light fixture is 3.8 amps. The fan uses about 1 amp or 100 watts. Maximum light
current is 2.8 amps or 340 watts of lighting.
• Where wire n uts are employed , be sur e all bare wir es are within th e conn ectors. Wh en in stalling th e canopy hatch, m ak e
sure all wires are within the canopy and that no wires are being pinched.
For best performance and for your warranty to be valid,
use only genuine Casablanca blades, light fixtures, and accessories.
• The blades in each pack are m atched for equal
weight to assure smooth fan operation. If
more than one fan is being installed, be
careful not to mix blades from different
cartons.
• Inspect the contents of your carton for
possible shipping or handling damage and
report any such damage directly to your
authorized Casablanca dealer.
• It is always a good id ea to have an assistant
to help with the installation.
• When cleaning, painting, or working near
your fan, be very careful of th e fan and blades.
Always turn the power OFF to the ceiling f an
before servicin g it, working on it, or replacing
light bulbs.
• Never insert anything into the path of the
fan blades while the fan is in operation.
• Never install a fan over a pool or spa.
• Never operate a fan that has been damaged
in any way . Contact Casablanca Fan Compan y
by calling 1-800-759-FANS (3267), or contact
your local authorized Casablanca dealer for
assistance in obtaining service.

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Before moun ting your Casablan ca f an, read th e following helpful recommend ation s . The locati on o f th e fan, air cir culation,
and fan size are all important factors to consider before installation.
Location
Ceiling fans have pr actical uses in alm ost every r oom in your h om e . W e sugg est you f ollow th ese m ounting recommendations as you decide where to install your Casablanca fan.
• For safety reasons, the fan blades must be a minimum of 7′ above the floor.
• Do not locate the fan in a doorway or above a swinging door.
• In any installation, the tips of the blades must be at least 18″ from the wall in order to provide
sufficient clearance for the blades.
• In bedrooms, fans work best when mounted above the foot of the bed.
• Over pool tables, be sure to provide plenty of clearance to avoid damage from pool cues.
• In low ceiling locations, our optional low ceiling adaptor (LCS) - available at
extra cost can be used to gain 3
1
/2″ (not applicable to Stealth series).
• In kitchens be sure to allow for open cupboard doors to clear the fan blades.
• Do not install a fan close to, or over, a pool or spa. High humidity combined
with corrosive gases will destroy the finish and warp the blades.
Fan Size
Variable f an speed capability permits the use o f a full-size 52″ f an even in
smaller rooms. For very large rooms, two fans may be needed.

When to Use Extension Poles
For best performance and best appear ance,
an extension pole should be used with
your Casablanca fan when installing on
high (cathedral) ceilings or sloped ceilings. Casablanca offers standard poles in
increments of 6″ up to 5′. Custom poles
are available in lengths up to 10′. See your
Authorized Casablanca Dealer f or details.
Note: Fan may wobble or vibrate if
pole length is not long enough and
inside blade is too close to downslope
or side wall. Extending pole length
will usually solve problem.
Calculation of 32°
Use the tear-off Ceiling Angle Template card inserted in the
back of this manual, it provides you with a simple ‘go’ or
‘no-go’ for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.

FAN PREPARATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!
BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR CEILING FAN,
INSTALL THE THREADED DOWNROD INTO THE MOTOR COUPLING AND
LOCK THE ASSEMBLY
Prepare for fan installation as follows:
Step A. Route the wires from the motor through the
Perma•Lock™ downrod and ball assembly, keeping the wires
to one side of the cross pin.
NOTE: The downrod has a tapered thread
that is designed to lock completely when
correctly installed.
Step B. Thread the downrod into the motor coupling until it
stops turning, this will take at least four an d a half full turns.
Step C. Securely tighten the locking bolt to ensure safe operation of your fan.
CAUTION: Failur e to fully lock in the downrod before securely tightening the locking
bolt may cause the fan to fall during normal operation!

Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
If you do not have an existin g fixture located where you wish
to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling fixture
outlet box must be installed and wired.
Warning: T o reduce the risk of fire , electrical shock,
or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked
acceptable for ceiling fan support using the mounting hardware provided with the outlet box.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before Requesting Service: Please follow this troubleshooting guide before contacting your dealer for assistance.
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 heavi er dust. Surf ace smud ges 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 sh ould 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 befor e chan ging light bulbs. Replace bulbs with same type
as removed from the fixtur e. Each f an 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.
PROBLEMPOSSIBLE REMEDIES..
FAN WILL NOT STARTCheck main circuit fuses, circuit breakers, or wall switch position.
Check all wire connections, making sure the power is turned off during this inspection.
Check that reverse switch is not set in center of throw.
FAN WOBBLES OR SHAKES Be sure canopy pin is properly set into the slot on the ball.
EXCESSIVELYCheck the screws holding the blade holders to the flywheel (or direct drive motor). Tighten as necessary.
Check that bladeholders have not been bent during installation.
FAN NOISY DURINGCheck and tighten light fixture retaining screws, glass shade screws and/or the light bulb(s) as neccessary.
OPERATIONTighten the blade to bladeholder screws.
Tighten canopy screws and mounting plate assembly.
Check and tighten blade holders to flywheel (or direct drive motor).
Make sure all screws in the motor housing are snug, but not overly tight.
Check that the wire nuts inside the canopy and switch housing are not touching the metal parts or have
fallen off the wire splices. Tighten or adjust as necessary.
BREAK-IN PERIODLet fan run at high speed for two (2) hours
DOES NOT RUN ONIf new, “break-in” may be required - run at higher speed for several days
LOW SPEED
FAN RUNS SLOWLY IN EITHER DIRECTION IF ROTATION IS STARTED BY HAND; WILL NOT REVERSE: Defective reverse switch; defective
