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 the 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.
NOTE:
The weight of this fan is 33 pounds
