GETTING STARTED
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.
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.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked ac-
ceptable for ceiling fan support using the mounting
hardware provided with the outlet box.
NOTE:
The fan weight is 35 pounds.
NOTE:
The downrod has a tapered thread
that is designed to lock completely when
correctly installed.
