SAFETY FIRST
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.

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.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE REMEDIES..
FAN WILL NOT START Check 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. EXCESSIVELY Check 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 DURING Check and tighten light fixture retaining screws, glass shade screws and/or the light bulb(s) as neccessary. OPERATION Tighten 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 PERIOD Let fan run at high speed for two (2) hours DOES NOT RUN ON If 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 capacitor; or open motor winding: Replace reverse switch assembly; replace PCB assembly; or replace motor unit.
FAN WILL NOT OPERATE AT PROPER SPEEDS OR WILL NOT OPERATE AT ANY SPEED: Defective three-speed pull-chain switch assembly; or defective capacitor: Replace three-speed pull-chain switch assembly; or replace PCB assembly.
