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 it is marked “Approved for Ceiling Fan

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.
