ANSI/ NF PA 70-1999, and local codes. Al l wi ri ng must be p erfor med i n acc orda nce with na tional a nd local elect rical
codes. If you are unfamiliar with the wiring codes, you should use a qualifi ed electrician. T o avo id overheating and possible
damage to other equipment, do not install control to a receptacle, fl uorescent light fi xture, motor operated appliance, or
transformer-supplied appliance.
• 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.

cur rent requi rement for the fan w ith light fi xture is 3 a mps. The fan u ses about 1 amp or 100 watts. Ma ximu m light
current is about 2 amps or 240 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.
• WAR NING: Do not bend the bla de br a ckets whe n i n stalling t he br a cket s, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan . Do

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
GENERAL GUIDELINES
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 recom mendations as you decide where t o install
your Casablanca fan.
• For safety reasons, t he fan blades must be a min imum of 7' above the
fl oor.
• Do not locate the fan in a doorway or above a swinging door.
• In bedrooms, fans work best when mounted above the foot of the bed.
• O ver pool tables, be su re 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 in stall a fan close to or over a pool or spa. High hu midity combined with corrosive gases w i l l de stroy the fi nish
and warp the blades.
Fan Size
Variable fan sp eed ca pabilit y permits t he use of a f ul l-size 52" fan even in smal ler room s. For very large room s, t wo fans
may be needed.

When to Use Extension Poles
For optimum per formance a nd appe a r a nce, a n ex t en sion
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 9'9". See
your Authorized Casablanca Dealer for details.
NOTE: Fan may wobb le 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 Ceiling Angle
Use the tear-off Ceiling Angle Template card inserted in
this manual. It provides you with a simple “go” or “no-go”
for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.

GETTING STARTED
Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
If you do not have an existing fi xt ur e locate d where you

CEILING HARDWARE (not to scale)
Wire Nut (4)
Crossbar Mounting Bracket
NOTE: After removing the old fi xture, check the outlet box
to insure that it is supported by a joist or beam across its
upper surface. If not, a 2 x 4 stud must be installed.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
After turning the power OFF at its source (either the circuit
breaker or fuse box) , lo w er the old fi xtu re and disconnect

LAG SCREW INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: This step is required only under two conditions:
If the fan weighs 36 lbs. or more (which does not pertain
to this fan) or if the existing ceiling fi xture outlet box
needs to be modifi ed for a ceiling fa n application (for
example, if the house is not new construction and you are
replacing an existing lig ht fi xture). We recomme nd that
the ceili ng box be of suffi cient capacity to sup port the
weight of the fan and light fi xture under any conditions.
If in doubt whether you need t o install the lag screw,
consult a qualifi ed electrician.
