SAFE USE
•CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! 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.
• 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 about 1 amp or 100 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.
INTRODUCTION
•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.
•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 servicing it, 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.

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
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.
• This fan is not suitable for installation on a sloped ceiling.
• 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.
• In low ceiling locations, our optional Low Ceiling Adaptor (LCA—available at extra cost) can be used to gain 31/2" on
certain fan models.
• 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 52" fan even in smaller rooms. For very large rooms, two fans may
be needed.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
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.
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.
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.

Light Control
Turn the light on or off independently from the fan by pressing the LIGHT button. If you
press the button for more than 0.7 seconds, it becomes a dimmer. The light varies from
“bright" to “dim”over approximately 8 seconds. If you continue to hold the LIGHT button,
this sequence will reverse when the light reaches its brightest or dimmest level. Release the
button when the desired level is reached.
Auto Resume
Quick (pressing less than 0.7 seconds) on/off operation of the LIGHT button maintains
the desired brightness level set previously.
If the fan is not functioning after installation:
Step 1. Check to make sure that batteries are installed correctly
in the control.
Step 2. Turn the power off to the fan (from the circuit breaker)
for at least 5 seconds.
Step 3. Turn the power back on (at the circuit breaker) and push
the HIGH, MED, and LOW buttons–in that order–within 20
seconds.
Step 4. The fan should now function properly.
CHANGING TRANSMITTER FREQUENCY SETTING
You will only have to change the dip switch settings in the re-
mote if you are using more than one fan in the same area and
want to control them separately.
Step 1. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn the power off for
the fan you want to change.
Step 2. Open the battery door of the Versa•Touch control and
remove the batteries.
Step 3. Change the dip switch settings, assuring that they are
different from the previously installed Versa•Touch fan.
Step 4. Re-install the batteries and the battery door on the control.
Step 5. At the circuit breaker or fuse box,turn the power back on
for the fan whose frequency you are changing.
Step 6. Within 20 seconds of restoring power, push the HIGH,
MED, and LOW buttons (in that order).

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
PROBLEM POSSIBLE REMEDIES
Fan will not start • Check the main circuit fuses, circuit breakers, and wall switch position. Check all wire
connections. Make sure the power is turned off during this inspection.
• The 9-pin connector is not making good contact. Check the 9-pin connector in the
receiver mounted in the switch housing (see receiver diagram on page 11).
• The battery is weak. Install a fresh battery.
• The fan receiver is defective. Replace fan receiver.
• Check the frequency setting: Turn the power off at the circuit breaker, only for the fan
that is not functioning. Check that the jumper switches match in both the receiver and
the transmitter.
Fan wobbles or shakes excessively • Be sure the canopy pin is set properly into the slot on the ball.
• Check that the bladeholders have not been bent during installation and the blades are
balanced.
• The hanger bracket and/or ceiling outlet are attached too loosely. Make sure the hanger
bracket is attached tightly to the ceiling outlet box and the downrod assembly is secured
firmly.
• The downrod is attached to downrod base too loosely. Make sure all the screws are
securely tightened.
Fan is noisy during operation • Check and tighten the light fixture retaining screws, glass shade screws, and/or
lightbulb(s).
• Tighten the canopy screws and mounting plate assembly.Make sure the wire nuts inside
the canopy and switch housing are not touching the metal parts and that they have not
fallen off the wire splices. Tighten as necessary.
• Tighten the blade holders to the flywheel (or direct drive motor) and the blades to the
bladeholder screws.
• Make sure all screws in the motor housing are snug but not overly tight.
Fan does not run on low speed • If fan is new, it may need to be “broken in.” Run at high speed for several days.
Battery life is short • Replace with alkaline batteries.
Light works, but fan does not work • The fan wires are not connected properly. Follow the instructions in Step 3c.
Fan and light run only on full speed • The fan receiver is defective. Replace fan receiver.
Fan is missing one speed • The fan receiver is defective. Replace fan receiver.
Fan does not change speed, but light works • The fan receiver is defective. Replace fan receiver.
Reverse does not work • The fan receiver is defective. Replace fan receiver.
Fan starts working by itself • There is frequency interference. Change frequency as described on Page 9.
Fan operates only when transmitter is close • Check that antenna wire is not touching metal plate.
Fan works, but light does not dim • The fan receiver is defective. Replace fan receiver.
Fan works, but light does not work • The fan receiver is defective. Replace fan receiver.
• The light socket is broken. Replace socket.
• A lightbulb is defective. Replace lightbulb.
