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 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.
• 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 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 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 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.

Ceiling fans have practical uses in almost every room in your home. We suggest
support
brace
you follow these mounting recommendations as you decide where to install
your Casablanca fan.

• 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 optimum performance and 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 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.

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 the guidehole. Tighten
until the outlet box is mounted fi rmly to the beam. is
