FAN INSTALLATION 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 Candelier, an approved ceiling fixture outlet box must be installed and wired.
WARNING:
The Candelier must be mounted directly to a structural member of the ceiling. It cannot be mounted directly to the outlet box.
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. The Candelier is not to be supported by the ceiling box. It must be directly mounted to the support structure over an approved electrical outlet box. Please consult a licensed electrician to confirm the right support structure is being used.
NOTE: The weight of this fan is approximately 150 pounds.
