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.
warning!
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked “Acceptable Fan Support of 22.7 kg (50 lbs.) or less” using the mounting hardware provided with the outlet box or directly to structure.
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 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 47 pounds.
