INTRODUCTION
BEFORE YOU START
• CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Installation is to be in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999, and local codes. 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 qualifi ed electrician. To avoid 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.
•  is fan is designed to be installed on an existing electrical outlet box.  e 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.
•  is ceiling fan requires a grounded electrical supply of 120 VAC, 60 Hz and a minimum 15 amp circuit.  e maximum current requirement for the fan with light fi xture is 2.83 amps.  e fan uses about 1 amp or 100 watts. Maximum light current is about 1.83 amps or 220 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.
• WARNING: Do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between the rotating fan blades.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fi re or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device. Use only the control provided with or recommended for this fan.
Unpacking
Before assembling and installing your ceiling fan, remove all parts from the shipping cartons and check them against the parts listed in the parts guide. Before discarding packaging material, be certain that all parts have been removed.
For best performance and for your warranty to be valid,
use only genuine Casablanca blades, light fi xtures, and accessories.
SAFE USE
•  e 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 diff erent 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 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
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following helpful recommendations.  e 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 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.

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 off ers 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 this manual. It provides you with a simple “go” or “no-go” for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.
EXAMPLE 3
This slope is more than 32º. Your fan will not hang straight down, an adaptor is necessary. Contact your local Authorized Casablanca Dealer in regards to purchasing a “Sloped Ceiling Adaptor.”

FAN INSTALLATION
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.
WA R NI N G !
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “Acceptable Fan Support of 22.7 kg (50 lbs.) or less” using the mounting hardware provided with the outlet box.
CROSSBAR MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION
CEILING HARDWARE (not to scale)
Crossbar Mounting Bracket
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:  e weight of this fan is 34 pounds.
Pack A:
Lag Bolt & Washer (1),
Crossbar Screws & Washers (2)
Wire Nuts (4)
Note: After removing the old fi xture, check the outlet box to ensure it is supported by a joist or beam across its upper surface. If not, a 2"x4" stud must be installed.
Step 1a. Remove the knockout plug in the center of the outlet box or drill a 1/2-inch hole for the lag screw to pass through.  en drill a 1/4-inch guidehole into the joist or beam to a depth of 3 inches.
Step 1b. Route the outlet box wires through the keyhole slot of the crossbar mounting bracket as shown. Attach the crossbar mounting bracket to the outlet box with the screws provided, assuring that the outlet box wires are not pinched by the washer.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, use only the mounting hardware provided with the approved outlet box to install the crossbar mounting bracket.

LAG SCREW INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
NOTE:  is 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 fan application (for example, if the house is not new construction and you are replacing an existing light fi xture). We recommend that the ceiling box be of suffi cient capacity to support the weight of the fan and light fi xture under any conditions. If in doubt whether you need to install the lag screw, consult a qualifi ed electrician.
Step 2 (optional). With the large washer attached, pass the lag screw (Pack A) through the center hole of the crossbar mounting bracket and screw into guide hole. Tighten until outlet box is mounted fi rmly to beam.  is box must be secured to the ceiling fi rmly.
