PLEASE INSPECT ALL PACKAGING PRIOR TO DISCARDING!

Your Casablanca fan was crafted with pride and care and inspected thoroughly prior to

shipment. Before you begin to assemble and install your Casablanca fan, remove all

parts from the carton and check them against the Parts Guide in this manual.

Proper Parts Handling

Do not remove lightbulbs from their packaging

until you are ready to install them.

Before discarding packaging materials, be certain

that all parts have been removed.

Use a clean, dry paintbrush to remove small

Styrofoam pieces that may remain after unpacking.

Do not brush Styrofoam into wiring cavities.

The blades in each pack are matched for equal

weight to assure smooth fan operation. If more

than one fan is being installed, do not mix blades

from different cartons.

When cleaning, painting, or working near your fan,

be cautious of the fan and blades.

Always turn power to the ceiling fan OFF before

replacing lightbulbs or working on your fan.

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.

SAFE USE

• CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Installation is to be in accordance with the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and local codes. If you are unfamiliar with the wiring codes, you should use

a qualied electrician.

• 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 xture is 2 amps. The fan uses about 1 amp or

100 watts. Maximum light current is 1amp or 120 watts of lighting.

• Where wire nuts are employed, be sure all bare wires are within the connectors. When installing the

canopy, 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.

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 materials, be certain that all

parts have been removed.

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

xtures, 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.

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

help with the installation.

• Always turn the power OFF to the ceiling fan

before working on it or replacing lightbulbs.

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

SLOPED CEILING INSTALLATION

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 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.

• 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 nish 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.

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 offers

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

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.

Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box

After turning the power OFF at its source (either

the circuit breaker or fuse box), lower the old

xture and disconnect the wiring. Check the

ceiling xture outlet box to be sure it is marked

“Approved for Ceiling Fan Mounting.” If it is not,

a new box must be installed.

GETTING STARTED

Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box

If you do not have an existing xture located

where you wish to place your Casablanca fan,

an approved ceiling xture outlet box must be

installed and wired.

Note: The weight of this fan is 32 pounds.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or

personal injury, mount to outlet box marked

“Acceptable Fan Support of 22.7 kg (50

lbs.) or less” using the mounting hardware

provided with the outlet box or directly to

structure.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Please refer to this troubleshooting guide before requesting service or contacting your dealer for assistance.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE REMEDIES

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 the 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 rmly.

• The downrod is attached to the downrod base too loosely. Make sure all the

screws are securely tightened.

• Install the provided balancing kit.

Fan is noisy during operation • 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 direct drive motor and the blades to the bladeholder

screws.

• Make sure all the screws in the motor housing are snug but not overly tight.

• Check and tighten the light xture retaining screws, glass shade screws, and/or

lightbulb(s).

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.

Fan Finishes

• 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

nish.

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 and high-gloss blades, 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 nish.

No Need for Lubrication

• 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.
