w.1 - To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or personal
injury, mount fan directly from building structure and/or an
outlet box marked acceptable for fan support of 70 lbs (31.8 kg)
and use the mounting screws provided with the outlet box.
w.2 - To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing or
servicing your fan, disconnect the power by turning off the
circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch
location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the off
position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.
w.3 - To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or motor damage,
use only Casablanca Solid State Speed Controls.
w.4 - To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade
brackets when installing the blade brackets, balancing the blades,
or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between
rotating fan blades.
c.1 - All wiring must be in accordance with national and local
electrical codes ANSI/NFPA 70. If you are unfamiliar with wiring,
use a qualied electrician.
c.2 - Use only Casablanca replacement parts.

Troubleshooting
Fan doesn’t work
• Press a fan speed button (1-4).
• Push the motor reversing switch
rmly left or right to ensure that
it is engaged.
• Check the circuit breaker to
ensure the power is turned on.
• Make sure the remote control
battery is working.
• Make sure the blades spin freely.
• Turn off power from the circuit
breaker, then loosen the canopy
and check all the connections
according to the wiring diagram
on pages 10-11.
• Check the plug connections in
the switch housing.
Excessive wobbling
• Tighten all of the blade and
blade iron screws until they
are snug.
• Turn the power off, support
the fan carefully, and check
that the hanger ball is
properly seated.
• Use the provided balancing
kit and instructions to balance
the fan.
Noisy Operation
• Tighten the blade and blade
iron screws until they are snug.
• Check to see if any of the
blades are cracked. If so, replace
all of the blades.
Remote does not work
• Make sure the battery is installed
correctly.
• Install a new battery.
• If the remote still does not
work, you may need to pair
your remote. To prevent faulty
operation, please disconnect
power (at the wall switch,
breaker, or fan) from all other
ceiling fans within range while
pairing. To pair: cycle power
to the fan by turning power off
and back on at the wall switch
(or circuit breaker if necessary).
Within three minutes, press and
hold both the Fan Off button and
the 4 button for four seconds to
pair the remote. If applicable, the

Installing Multiple Fans with Independently Operating Remote Controls
Installing Multiple Fans Operating on a Single Remote Control
Installing One Fan Operating on Multiple Remote Controls
“Unpairing” Procedure for Faulty Operation of Remote Controls
X
To install multiple fans with independently operating remote controls, there is no need to
perform any pairing procedures. Each set of receiver/transmitter is already paired. Simply
install each receiver into a fan and use the appropriate transmitter to operate each fan.
If your remote is not working, see the “Remote does not work” section on the previous page.
To have multiple remote controls operate one fan, you must pair each additional transmitter
to the receiver in the fan. The transmitter that shipped with your fan is already paired.
Note: To prevent faulty operation, please disconnect power (at the wall switch,
breaker, or fan) from all other ceiling fans within range while pairing.
For each additional transmitter, cycle power to the fan by turning power off and back on at
the wall switch (or circuit breaker if necessary). Within three minutes, press and hold both
the Fan Off button and the 4 button for four seconds to pair the remote. If applicable, the
fan will turn on and the lights will ash and stay on to indicate successful pairing.
To have multiple fans operated by a single remote control, you must pair the transmitter to each
additional receiver. The receiver that shipped with your fan is already paired to the transmitter.
Note: To prevent faulty operation, you MUST disconnect power (at the wall switch,
breaker, or fan) from all other ceiling fans within range while pairing each fan.
For each additional fan, ensure that a compatible receiver is installed. Disconnect power from all
other fans while pairing. To pair: cycle power to the fan by turning power off and back on at
the wall switch (or circuit breaker if necessary). Within three minutes, press and hold both
the Fan Off button and the 4 button for four seconds to pair the remote. If applicable, the
fan will turn on and the lights will ash and stay on to indicate successful pairing.
If a transmitter is mistakenly operating a fan, you need to “unpair” the transmitter from that
fan’s receiver. The “unpairing” procedure is the same as the pairing procedure.
Note: To prevent faulty operation, you MUST disconnect power (at the wall switch,
breaker, or fan) from all other ceiling fans within range while “unpairing” a fan.
Disconnect power from all other fans while “unpairing.” Then, cycle power to the fan you
wish to “unpair” by turning power off and back on at the wall switch (or circuit breaker
if necessary). Within three minutes, press and hold both the Fan Off button and the 4
button for four seconds to “unpair” the remote. If applicable, the fan will turn off and the
lights will ash and turn off to indicate successful “unpairing.”
