•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 and
report any such damage directly to your
authorized Casablanca dealer.

Always turn the power OFF to the ceiling fan
before servicing it, working on it, or replacing
light bulbs.
•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 toll free 1-888-227-2178, or
contact your local authorized Casablanca
dealer for assistance in obtaining service.
CONTENTS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1993 and the appropriate local electrical
codes. The National Electric Code requires proper grounding as a precaution against electrical shock. A qualified electri-
cian should be consulted if you are unsure.
• 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 3.8 amps. The fan uses about 1 amp or 100 watts. Maximum light
current is 2.8 amps or 340 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.
For best performance and for your warranty to be valid,
use only genuine Casablanca blades, light fixtures, and accessories.
SAFE USE
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.

When to Use Extension Poles
For best performance and best 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 10'. See your
Authorized Casablanca Dealer for details.

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 any installation, the tips of the blades must be at least 18" from the wall in order to
provide sufficient clearance for the blades.
• 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 low ceiling locations, our optional Low Ceiling Adaptor (LCA)—available at
extra cost—can be used to gain 31⁄2".
• 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.
EXAMPLE 1
This slope is less than 32˚.
It is OK to install your fan.
EXAMPLE 2
This slope is 32˚. This is the maximum
slope that will allow the fan to hang
straight down. It is OK to install your
fan.
EXAMPLE 3
This slope is more than 32˚.
Your fan will not hang straight down, an
adaptor is necessary. Contact your local
Authorized Casablanca Dealer in regards
to purchasing a “Slope Ceiling Adaptor.”
32°
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.

shrink wrap holds 5 blades of matched weight. If more than
one fan is being installed, be sure not to mix blade sets.
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.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
After turning the power OFF at its source (either circuit breaker
or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect the wiring.
Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure that it is
marked ‘Approved for ceiling fan mounting’. If it is not, a new
box must be installed.
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.
CAUTION: When removing the shrink wrap,
be careful not to scratch the blades.
NOTE: The fan weight is 17 pounds.

Prepare for fan installation as follows:
Step A. Route the wires from the motor through the
Perma•Lock™ downrod and ball assembly.
Step B. Using the provided allen wrench, loosen the set screw
several turns to allow installation of the downrod. Thread
the downrod into the motor coupling until it stops turning,
this will take at least four and a half full turns.
Step C. Securely tighten the set screw with the provided allen
wrench to ensure safe operation of your fan.
Tip: The downrod has a tapered thread
that is designed to lock completely when
correctly installed.
CAUTION: Failure to fully lock in the down-
rod before securely tightening the allen set
screw may cause the fan to separate from
the downrod during normal operation!

IN SUMMER, the movement of
air creates a cooling “wind chill”
effect. A room can actually feel
several degrees cooler, without set-
ting the thermostat lower.
IN WINTER, hot air rises to the
ceiling while cool air settles to the
floor. Trapped against the ceiling,
the warm air is wasted. If you turn
up the thermostat, energy costs
will rise.
RUNNING IN REVERSE, your
Casablanca fan can recirculate
warm air near the ceiling down
into the living area, providing even
heating and comfort (with a pleas-
ant effect on heating bills).

TROUBLESHOOTING
BEFORE REQUESTING SERVICE:
Please follow this troubleshooting guide before contacting your dealer for assistance.
Caring for Finishes: For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth
should be used to prevent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner
brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accu-
mulation of dirt and dust can easily be removed by using a mild
detergent and slightly dampened soft cloth. An antistatic agent
may be used, but never use abrasive cleaning agents. These will
damage the finish. Painted and high-gloss blades may be cleaned
in the same manner.
Blades: Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture pol-
ishing cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be
applied for added protection and beauty.
Never Lubricate this Fan!
The precision motor at the heart of your Casablanca fan features
sealed bearings that are lubricated for life. Do not attempt to oil
the motor.
