READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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: To avoid possible electrical shock, make certain that electricity is turned off 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 qualifi ed 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 fi xture is 3.8 amps. The fan uses about 1 amp or 100 watts. Maximum light
current is 0.83 amps (100 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.
• The fan must be supplied with 3 independent 120V AC supply wires to provide power for the fan, the light, and neutral.
For best performance and for your warranty to be valid,
use only genuine Casablanca blades, light fi xtures, 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. If
parts are missing or damaged, call 1-888227-2178.
• 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 lightbulbs.
• 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 fl oor.
• 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 suffi cient 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 fi nish 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.
SLOPED CEILING INSTALLATIONS
CAUTION: Installation of this fan requires
a minimum 10-foot ceiling.

When to Use Extension Poles
For best performance and best appearance,
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 for 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
usually will 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.
BLADES MUST BE
A MINIMUM OF 7′
ABOVE THE FLOOR

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION!
BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR CEILING FAN, IN-
STALL 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. Using the provided Allen wrench, loosen the Allen
set screw. Thread the downrod into the motor coupling until
it stops turning, this will take at least four and a half full
turns.
Step C. Securely tighten the Allen set screw with the provided
Allen wrench to ensure safe operation of your fan.
Be sure to use only genuine Casablanca blades. The blade
shrink wrap holds 4 blades of matched weight. If more than
one fan is being installed, be sure not to mix blade sets.
CAUTION: When removing the shrink wrap,
be careful not to scratch the blades.

GETTING STARTED
Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
If you do not have an existing fi xture located where you wish
to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling fi xture
outlet box must be installed and wired.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fi re, 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 fi xture and disconnect
the wiring. Check the ceiling fi xture outlet box to be sure
that it is marked “Approved for ceiling fan mounting.” If it is
not, a new box must be installed.
NOTE: The fan weight is 37.5 pounds.
