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
acceptable for ceiling fan support using the mount-
ing hardware provided with the outlet box.
CAUTION: When removing the shrink wrap,
be careful not to scratch the blades.
noTe:
The fan weight is 27 pounds.
