INTRODUCTION

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.

• 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 fixture is 3.5 amps. The fan uses about 1 amp or 100 watts. Maximum light
current is about 2.5 amps or 300 watts of total 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.

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 materials, be certain that all parts have been removed.

For best performance and for your warranty to be valid,

use only genuine Casablanca blades, light fixtures, and accessories.

SAFE USE

• 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
1-888-227-2178.

• 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 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. 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 floor.

• 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 finish 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 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.

This slope is 32º. This is the maximum
slope that will allow the fan to hang
straight down. It is OK to install your fan.

This slope is less than 32º.
It is OK to install your fan.

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.

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.”

WARNING!

Support directly to building structure only.

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 the circuit
breaker or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect
the wiring. Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure
it is marked “Approved for Ceiling Fan Mounting.” If it is
not, a new box must be installed.

Note: The weight of this fan is 38 pounds.

Screw Pack A:

Lag Screw and Washer (1)

Wire Nut (4)

Note: After removing the old fixture, check the outlet
box to insure that 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. Then drill a 1/4-inch guide hole 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 in Pack A, making sure 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

NOTE: This step is required only under two conditions:
If the fan weighs 36 lbs. or more or if the existing ceiling
fixture outlet box needs to be modified for a ceiling fan
application (for example, if the house is not new
construction and you are replacing an existing light fixture).
We recommend that the ceiling box be of sufficient
capacity to support the weight of the fan and light fixture
under any conditions. If in doubt whether you need to
install the lag screw, consult a qualified electrician.

Step 2. 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 firmly to the beam. This box must
be secured to the ceiling firmly.
