Dimensions indicated are the minimum
allowable for proper installation.

•

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Installation is to be in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999, and local 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 downrods and Sloped
Ceiling Adapters (SCAs) 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 2.85 amps. The fan uses about 1 amp or 100 watts.
Maximum light current is about 1.85 amps or 190 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.

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 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 1-888-227-2178.

•

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

i n a n y w a y. F o r a s s i s t a n c e i n o b t a i n i n g

SLOPED CEILING INSTALLATIONS

EXAMPLE 3

EXAMPLE 2

EXAMPLE 1

Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following 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 8' 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, 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.

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.

When to Use an Extension Downrod

For optimum performance and appearance, an
extension downrod should be used with your
Casablanca fan when installing on high (cathedral)
ceilings or sloped ceilings. Casablanca offers
standard downrods in increments of 6" up to 60". See
your Authorized Casablanca Dealer for details.

NOTE:

The fan may wobble or vibrate if pole length

is not long enough and inside blade is too close to
downslope or side wall. Using a longer downrod will
usually solve the problem.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of fi re, 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.

WARNING!

Support directly to building structure only.

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.

Note:

After removing the old fi xture, check the outlet

box to ensure that it is supported by a joist or beam
across its upper surface. If not, a 2 x 4 stud must be
installed.

Step 1a.

Remove the knockout plug in the center of

the outlet box or drill a

-inch hole for the lag screw

to pass through. Then drill a

-inch guide hole into

the joist or beam to a depth of 3 inches.

LAG SCREW INSTALLATION

CANOPY INSTALLATION

NOTE:

This step is required only under two conditions:

If the fan weighs 36 lbs. or more 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.

With the large washer attached, pass the lag

screw through the center hole of the crossbar mounting
bracket and screw into the guide hole. Tighten until
the outlet box is mounted fi rmly to the beam. This box
must be secured to the ceiling fi rmly.
