SAFETY FIRST
Safety and the proper operation of y our Casablanca fan both requir e a thorough knowledge o f the product
and proper installation; therefor e, bef ore attempting to install and operate your Casablanca f an, read this
owner’s manual completely and carefully. Retain this manual for future reference.
CAUTION: To avoid 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 accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1993 and the appropriate local electrical
codes. The National Electric Code requires proper grounding as a precaution against electrical shock. A qualified electrician should be consulted if you are unsure.
• This fan is designed to be installed on an existing electrical outlet box. The outlet box must be UL Listed for ceiling fan
installations, if it is not, a new box must be installed. Casablanca extension poles are available for sloped or high ceiling
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 nuts are employed, be sure all bare wires are within the connectors. When installing the canopy hatch, make
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 matched 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 idea to have an assistant
to help with the installation.
• When cleaning, painting, or working near
your fan, be very careful of the fan and blades.
Always turn the power OFF to the ceiling fan
before servicing 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 Company
by calling 1-888-227-2178, or contact your
local authorized Casablanca dealer for
assistance in obtaining service.

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following helpful recommendations. The location of the fan, air circulation,
and fan size are all important factors to consider before installation.
Location
Ceiling fans have practical uses in almost every room in your home. We suggest you follow these mounting
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 fan speed capability permits the use of a full-size 52" fan even in
smaller rooms. For very large rooms, two fans may be needed.
PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking: Before assembling and installing your ceiling fan, remove all parts from the shipping cartons and check them
against the parts listed here. Before discarding packaging material, be certain that all parts have been removed.
Carton Contents
The fan carton contains the fan body, warranty card, owner's
manual, and all the parts necessary to assemble and install
your Casablanca ceiling fan. These parts are shown at the
start of each installation section. Before you start, go through
this Owner’s Manual and confirm that you have all the parts
shown in each section.
Be sure to use only genuine Casablanca blades. The blade
shrink wrap holds 5 blades of matched weight. If more than
one fan is being installed, be sure not to mix blade sets.
CAUTION: When removing the shrink wr ap,
be careful not to scratch the blades.
GETTING STARTED
Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
If you do not have an existing fixture located where you
wish to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling fixture
outlet box must be installed and wired.
WARNING: To r educe 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.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
After turning the power OFF at its source (either circuit breaker
or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect the wiring.
Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure that it is
marked ‘Approved for ceiling f an mounting’. If it is not, a new
box must be installed.
NOTE: The fan weight is 17 pounds.

TIP: The packing styrofoam makes a handy work bench.
Remove the bottom foam from the box.
