SAFE USE

•  Inspect the contents of your carton for possible shipping 

or handling damage and report any such damage directly 

to your authorized Casablanca dealer.

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

the installation.

•  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.

•  Never install a fan over a pool or spa. 

•  For safety reasons, the fan blades must be a minimum of 

7 feet above the floor. 

•  In any installation, the tips of the blades must be at least 18 

inches from the wall in order to provide sufficient clearance 

for the blades.

•  Never insert anything into the path of the fan blades while 

the fan is in operation.

•  When cleaning, painting, or working near your fan, be 

very careful of the fan and blades. Always turn the power 

OFF to the ceiling fan before servicing it, working on it, 

or replacing lightbulbs. 

•  Never operate a fan that has been damaged in any way. 

For assistance in obtaining service, call Casablanca Fan 

Company toll-free at 1-888-227-2178 or contact your 

local Casablanca Authorized Dealer.

•  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 qualified electrician.  

To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install control to a receptacle, fluorescent light fixture, 

motor operated appliance, or transformer-supplied appliance.

•  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 fixture is 3.0 amps. The fan uses about 1 amp or 100 watts. Maximum light 

current is 2.0 amps or 240 watts of lighting.

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

•  WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state speed control device. Use 

only the control provided with or recommended for this fan..

Unpacking

Before assembling and installing your ceiling fan, remove all parts from the shipping cartons and check them against the parts 

listed here. Before discarding packaging material, be certain that all parts have been removed.

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

fixtures, and accessories.
