Safety Considerations
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: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 is 2.7 amps (322 watts). The fan
uses about 1.1 amps (132 watts). Maximum light
current is about 1.6 amps (190 watts) of lighting.
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:ÑTo reduce the risk of
personal injury or damage to the fan,
do not bend the blade brackets or insert
foreign objects in between the rotating fan
blades.
WARNING:ÑTo reduce the risk 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.

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 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). 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 Continental weighs 47 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 usually will
solve this problem.

This slope is 32º. This is the
maximum slope that will allow the

to install your fan.
This slope is more than 32º. Your fan
will not hang straight down, so an
adaptor is necessary. Contact your
local Authorized Casablanca Dealer to
purchase a Sloped Ceiling Adapter.

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.

Attaching the Canopy
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 right-angle 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.
