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 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 for Ceiling Fan Support” using the mounting hardware provided with the outlet box.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box

NOTE: The weight of this fan is 50 pounds.
