SAFE USE

• Inspect the contents of your carton for possible shipping

or handling damage and report any such damage directly

to your authorized Casablanca dealer.

• It is always a good idea to have an assistant to help with

the installation.

•  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 diﬀ erent

cartons.

• Never install a fan over a pool or spa.

• For safety reasons, the fan blades must be a minimum of

7 feet above the ﬂ oor.

• In any installation, the tips of the blades must be at least 18

inches from the wall in order to provide suﬃ cient clearance

for the blades.

• Never insert anything into the path of the fan blades while

the fan is in operation.

• 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 servicing it, working on it,

or replacing lightbulbs.

• Never operate a fan that has been damaged in any way.

For assistance in obtaining service, call Casablanca Fan

Company toll-free at 1-888-335-5247 or contact your

local Casablanca Authorized Dealer.

BEFORE YOU START

•

CAUTION: Risk of electrical shock!

All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electric Codes and the appropriate

local electrical codes.  e National Codes require proper grounding as a precaution against electrical shock. A qualiﬁ ed

electrician should be consulted if you are unsure.

•  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 ﬁ xture is 3.8 amps.  e 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.

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 List. Before discarding packaging material, be certain that all parts have been removed.

NOTE: For best performance and for your warranty to be valid, use only genuine Casablanca Fan Company blades, light

ﬁ xtures, and accessories.

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.

SUGGESTED EXTENSION POLE LENGTHS

When to Use Extension Poles

For best performance and appearance, an extension pole

should be used with your Casablanca fan when installing on

high (cathedral) ceilings or sloped ceilings. Casablanca oﬀ ers

standard poles in increments of 6 inches up to 5 feet. Custom

poles are available in lengths up to 9 feet 9 inches. See your

Authorized Casablanca Dealer for details.

NOTE:

 e fan may wobble or vibrate if the pole length

is not long enough and the inside blade is too close to the

downslope or side wall. Extending the pole length usually

will solve the problem.

Calculation of 32 Degrees

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.

Blades must be a

minimum of 7

ʹ

above the ﬂ oor

Extension

Pole

Maximum Angle 32º

This slope is less than 32 degrees.

It is okay to install your fan.

SLOPED CEILING INSTALLATIONS

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

•  is fan requires a minimum ceiling height of 9 feet.

• 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 ﬁ nish

and warp the blades.

Fan Size

Variable fan speed capability permits the use of a full-size 54-inch fan even in smaller rooms. For very large rooms, two fans

may be needed.

This slope is more than 32 degrees.Your

fan will not hang straight down; an adaptor

is necessary. Contact your local Authorized

Casablanca Dealer to purchase a “Sloped

Ceiling Adaptor.”

This slope is 32 degrees, the maximum

slope that will allow the fan to hang

straight down. It is okay to install

your fan.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

GETTING STARTED

Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box

If you do not have an existing ﬁ xture located where you wish

to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling ﬁ xture

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 ﬁ xture and disconnect the

wiring. Check the ceiling ﬁ xture outlet box to be sure that

it is marked “Approved For Ceiling Fan Mounting.” If it is

not, a new box must be installed.

NOTE:  e weight of this fan is 50 pounds.
