SAFE USE
For best performance and for your warranty to be valid,
use only genuine Casablanca blades, light fixtures, and accessories.
INTRODUCTION
• e 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.
BEFOREYOU START
• CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Installation is to be in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1999, and local codes. 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.
• is fan is designed to be installed on an existing electrical outlet box. e 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.
• is ceiling fan requires a grounded electrical supply of 120 VAC, 60 Hz and a minimum 15 amp circuit. e maximum
current requirement for the fan with light xture is 3 amps. e fan uses about 1 amp or 100 watts. Maximum light current
is about 2 amps or 240 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.
• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device. Use
only the control provided with or recommended for this fan.
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 material, be certain that all parts have been removed.

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following helpful recommendations. e 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 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.
• 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.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
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.
7’ minimum
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 o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.
Blades must be a
minimum of 7 feet
above the oor
Extension
Pole
Maximum
Hang-Tru®
angle 32º
This slope is less than 32º.
It is OK to install your fan.
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 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.”
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.

Step 1c.Route the wires from the motor housing assembly
through the Perma•Lock™downrod and ball assembly.
Keep all wires on one side of the pin in the ball. Insert
the downrod into the motor coupling and turn it clockwise
until it stops turning and 2 to 3 threads are still visible.
TIP: e downrod has a tapered thread that is designed
to lock completely when installed correctly.
Step 1d. Tighten the set screw with the Allen wrench to
ensure safe operation of your fan. If it is tight enough, you
should not be able to turn the downrod counterclockwise
with your hands.If in doubt, tighten the set screw with the

of the small clasp and pulling apart.
6. Remove the plug from the switch housing.
7. Install the pull-chain switch as follows:
• Remove the collar from the switch
• read the pull chain through the hole in the switch
housing
• Place the switch so that the neck protrudes from
the hole
• read the collar back over the chain and hand-
tighten the collar on the neck of the switch
8. read the two wires from the light kit through the
hole in the center of the switch housing.
9. Connect one wire from the pull-chain switch to the
BLUE D1-Option wire. Secure the splice with a wire
nut.
10.Connect the other wire from the pull-chain switch to
the BLACK wire from the light kit. Secure the splice
with a wire nut.
11.Connect the WHITE wire from the switch housing to
the WHITE wire from the light kit. Secure the splice
with a wire nut.
NOTE: If a separate circuit is used to control the lights
from a wall control, the BLUE D1-Option wire in the
canopy should be connected to that switch leg with the
BLACK fan power wire.
Return to Steps 13b-15 (SWITCH HOUSING
INSTALLATION) to attach (or re-attach) the switch
housing to the motor assembly. Refer to your light kit
instructions to assemble and attach the rest of your light
kit correctly.
Using the blade rotation (reversing) pull-chain switch:
Blade rotation controls the airflow direction. Each pull of
the pull-chain switch toggles the blade rotation.
NOTE: Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward
(counterclockwise blade rotation) in warm weather to cool
the room with a direct breeze. In cold weather, having
the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade rotation) will
distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling around the
room without causing a draft.

• For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to prevent scratching the nish.
• A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust.
• Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt and dust can be removed easily using a mild detergent and slightly dampened
soft cloth. An antistatic agent may be used, but never use abrasive cleaning agents as these will damage the finish.
Blades
• Wood-nish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be
applied for added protection and beauty.
• For painted, high-gloss or plastic blades (ABS), surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt and dust can be removed easily
using a mild detergent and slightly dampened soft cloth. An antistatic agent may be used, but never use abrasive cleaning
agents as these will damage the finish.
