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

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 that 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 50 pounds.

NOTE: After removing the old fixture, check the outlet box to ensure it is supported by a joist or beam across its upper surface. If not, a 2 x 4 stud must be installed.

Step 1a. Remove the knockout plug in the center of the outlet box or drill a 1/2 -inch hole for the lag screw to pass through. Then drill a 1/4-inch guide hole into the joist or beam to a depth of 3 inches.
