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

• CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! All wiring must be performed in accordance with national and local electrical
codes. If you are unfamiliar with the wiring codes, you should use a qualified electrician. To avoid overheating and
possible damage to other equipment, do not install control to a receptacle, fluorescent light fixture, motor operated
appliance, or transformer-supplied appliance..

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.

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.

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 9'9"′. 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
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.

BLADES MUST BE

A MINIMUM OF 7′

ABOVE THE FLOOR

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

EXAMPLE 3

This slope is more than 32˚.
Your fan will not hang straight down,
an adaptor is necessary. Contact your
local Authorized Casablanca Dealer in
regards to purchasing a “Slope Ceiling

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 reduce 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 fan mounting’. If it is
not, a new box must be installed.
