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.

wish to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling
fixture outlet box must be installed and wired.
Note: The weight of this fan is 35 pounds.

After removing the old fixture, check the outlet box
to insure that it is supported by a joist or beam across its
upper surface. If not, a 2x4 stud must be installed.

outlet box or drill a

provided, assuring that the outlet box wires are not pinched
by the washer.
