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.

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 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.

7′ MINIMUM

EXAMPLE 1

This slope is less than 32˚.
It is OK to install your fan.

EXAMPLE 2

This slope is 32˚. This is the maximum
slope that will allow the fan to hang
straight down. It is OK to install your
fan.

EXAMPLE 3

This slope is more than 32˚.
Your fan will n ot han g str ai ght d own, an
adaptor is necessary. Contact your local
Authorized Casablanca Dealer in regards
to purchasing a “Slope Ceiling Adaptor.”

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.
