Safety Considerations
Safety and proper operation of your Casablanca fan both
require a thorough knowledge of the product and correct
installation; therefore, before attempting to install and
operate your fan, read this Owner’s Manual completely
and carefully. Retain this manual for future reference.
CAUTION:ÑRISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
Turn off all electricity at the circuit breaker
or fuse box before attempting any
installation procedure. Installation is to be
in accordance with the National Electrical
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and local codes. If
you are unfamiliar with the wiring codes,
contact a qualified electrician. To avoid
overheating and possible damage to
other equipment, do not install control
to a receptacle, fluorescent light fixture,
operating appliance, or transformer-
supplied appliance.
This ceiling fan requires a grounded electrical supply of•
120 VAC, 60 Hz and a minimum of 15-amp circuit. The
maximum current required for the fan with light fixture
if 2.9 amps. The fan uses about 1.1 amps (132 watts).
Where wire nuts are employed, be sure all•
bare wires are fully inserted into the metal wire
connectors inside the plastic wire nut covering.
When installing the canopy, light kit, and wall•
controls, make sure all wires are carefully
tucked away and that no wires are pinched.
The fan must be supplied with three•
independent 120V AC supply wires to provide
power for the fan, the light, and neutral.
WARNING:ÑDo not insert foreign objects
in between the rotating fan blades.
WARNING:ÑTo reduce the risks of fire or
electric shock, do not use this fan with any
solid-state control device. Use only the
control provided with or recommended for
this fan.
Dimensions indicated are the minimum
allowable for proper installation.

Structural Support
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.
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. For new construction,
use an approved ceiling fixture outlet box with the rating
“50 lbs. or less”. Ensure that the outlet box is mounted to
a joist or stud beam. If not, a 2x4 stud must be installed.
WARNING!ÑTo 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.
When to Use a Lag Screw
A lag screw is required under two conditions: the fan
weighs 36 lbs. or more, or the existing ceiling fixture
outlet box needs to be modified for a ceiling fan
application (for example, you are replacing an existing
light fixture with a fan). We recommend that the ceiling
box be of sufficient capacity to support the weight
of the fan and light fixture under any conditions.
NOTE: The Atria weighs 42 lbs., so use of a
lag screw is required.
Mounting Guidelines
Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the
following helpful recommendations. Location,
fan size, and structural support are 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 fan even in smaller rooms. For very
large rooms, two fans may be needed.

Sloped Ceiling Installations
When to Use an Extension Downrod
For optimum performance and appearance, use
an extension downrod with your Casablanca
fan when installing on high (cathedral) ceilings
or sloped ceilings. Casablanca offers accessory
downrods in increments of 6" up to 5’. See your
Authorized Casablanca Dealer for details.
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.
NOTE: The fan may wobble or vibrate if the
downrod length is not long enough and the
inside blade is too close to the downslope or
side wall. Extending the downrod length will
usually solve this problem.

Assembling
1Prepare the ceiling fixture outlet box for the lag screw
by removing the plug in the center. If the outlet box does
not have a plug, drill a ½-inch hole in the center of the
box. After drilling a hole in the outlet box, drill a ¼-inch
hole 3 inches deep into the joist used to support the fan.
Attaching the Crossbar Mounting Bracket
2To install the crossbar mounting bracket, route the
outlet box wires along side of the crossbar mounting
bracket. Attach the crossbar mounting bracket to the
outlet box with the set of two round-head screws and
washers. Use caution when installing the screws and
washers. Do not pinch the outlet box wires in the washers.
CAUTION:ÑTo reduce the risk of personal
injury, use only the mounting hardware
provided with an approved outlet box (not
included) to install the crossbar mounting
bracket.
3Pass the lag screw through the center hole in
the crossbar mounting bracket and the ceiling fixture
outlet box. Secure the lag screw into the guide hole in
the joist, tightening until the outlet box and mounting
bracket are mounted firmly to the support beam.

4To install the canopy hardware, set aside the canopy
hatch and one canopy hatch screw and lock washer. You
will install the canopy hatch in the next section. Attach the
canopy to the crossbar mounting bracket with three of the
canopy screws and lock washers. Using the screwdriver
provided, tighten each screw until the canopy hardware
is mounted firmly to the crossbar mounting bracket.
NOTE: On a sloped ceiling, align the canopy
opening with the top or peak of the room.

4Insert the downrod into the motor coupling
and turn clockwise. When the downrod is securely in
place, re-tighten the set screw with the Allen wrench
until it will not turn any further. Test the stability of
the downrod assembly by attempting to unscrew the
downrod from the motor coupling. If the downrod turns
in either direction, the set screw should be tightened.
CAUTION:ÑThe downrod has a tapered
thread designed to lock completely when
correctly installed. Failure to fully lock in
the downrod before securely tightening
the set screw may cause the fan to
separate from the downrod and fall
during normal operation.

Connecting the Wires
8Trim the extra length from the motor wires. Be
certain to leave at least 6 inches of wire above the
downrod. Use a wire stripper (not included) to strip
½-inch of insulation from the end of each trimmed wire.
9To attach the fan wires to the ceiling fixture
wiring, match the wire colors as described below,
hold the bare ends of the wires side by side, and
fully insert the wires into the wire nut. Secure by
rotating the wire nut in a clockwise motion.
Connect wires in the following order:

NOTE: If the colors of your wiring differ from
that described, consult an electrician.
Inspect each wire nut to ensure that no bare wire is visible.
Test the connection by gently pulling on the wires. The wire
nuts should stay firmly in place, covering the bare ends.

CAUTION:ÑEnsure power is turned
OFF at the breaker or fuse panel before
beginning wall control installation.
NOTE: The W-81 wall control is designed to
replace a standard wall switch and fits wall
boxes (metal or plastic) with a depth of more
than 2".
1Remove the screws and switch plate from the
existing wall switch box, and pull the switch away
from the box to expose the wire connections.
2Disconnect the three wires from the existing
switch and remove the switch from the wall box.
The ends of the wires in the wall box may need to
be stripped before installing the new control.
NOTE: The wire nuts provided are only
suitable for use with copper wire. Use wire
nuts to join one 14-gauge wire with one 16- or
18-gauge wire.
