Step 1 - Choose the Fan Site

Proper ceiling fan location and attachment to the building

structure are essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum

eciency, and energy savings.

Choose a fan site where:

• No object can come in contact with the rotating fan blades during

normal operation.

• e fan blades are at least 7 feet above the oor and the ceiling is

at least 9 feet high.

• e fan blades have no obstructions to airow, such as walls or

posts, within 30 inches of the fan blade tips.

• e fan is directly below a joist or support brace that will hold the

outlet box and the full weight of the fan.

Checklist for Existing Fan Site

If you want to use an existing fan site, complete the following checklist to

determine if the site is acceptable and safe for your new Casablanca fan.

If you cannot check o every item, prepare a new fan site as described on

this page.

Fan Support System

• Fan attaches directly to building structure.

• Fan support system will hold full weight of the fan and light kit.

Ceiling Hole

• e outlet box clearance hole is directly below the joist or support brace.

Outlet Box

• e outlet box is an UL-approved octagonal 4” x 1-1/2” outlet box (or as

specied by the support brace manufacturer).

• e outlet box is secured to the joist or support brace by wood screws

and washers through the inner holes of outlet box.

• e outer holes of the outlet box are aligned with joist or support brace.

• e bottom of the outlet box is recessed a minimum of 1/16” into

ceiling.

Wiring

• e electrical cable is secured to outlet box by an approved connector.

• Six inches of lead wires extend from outlet box.

If your existing fan site is suitable, skip ahead to Section 2 • Installing the

Ceiling Bracket.

electrical codes and ANSI/NFPA 70. If

you are unfamiliar with wiring, use a

qualied electrician.

Steps 2 – 3

Step 5

Step 2 - Cut the Ceiling Hole

2-1. Locate the site for the ceiling hole directly below the joist or support brace that

will hold the outlet box and fan.

2-2. Cut a 4” diameter hole through the drywall or plaster of the ceiling. You will use

the hole to install the support brace and outlet box.

Step 3 - Install a Support Brace, If Necessary

Determine if there is a ceiling joist directly above the ceiling hole. If the joist is there,

determine if it is positioned to allow you to recess the outlet box a minimum of

1/16” into the ceiling. If NOT, install a support brace as follows:

3-1. Attach a 2” x 4” support brace between two joists. Position it to allow you to

recess the bottom of the outlet box a minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.

3-2. Check the support brace to ensure it will support the full weight of the fan and

light kit.

Step 4 - Install the Outlet Box

4-1. Obtain a UL-approved octagonal 4” x 1-1/2” outlet box, plus two #8 x 1-1/2”

wood screws and washers, available from any hardware store or electrical supply

house.

4-2. Orient the outlet box so that both the inner and outer holes in the box align

with the joist or support brace.

4-3. Drill pilot holes no larger than the minor diameter of the wood screws (5/64”)

through the inner holes of the outlet box.

4-4. Attach the outlet box directly to the support brace or joist with two #8 x 1-1/2”

wood screws and washers.  e bottom of the outlet box must be recessed a

minimum of 1/16” into the ceiling.

Step 5 - Prepare the Wiring

5-1. Make sure the circuit breakers to the fan supply line leads and associated wall

switch location are turned o . If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the

o position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the

service panel.

5-2. read the fan supply line through the outlet box so that the fan supply line

extends at least 6” beyond the box.

5-3. Attach the fan supply line to the outlet box with an approved connector,

available at any hardware store or electrical supply house.

5-4. Make certain the wiring meets all national and local standards and ANSI/NFPA 70.

You have now successfully prepared your ceiling fan site. For instructions to install

your ceiling fan, go to your fan manual and continue with Section 2 • Installing the

Ceiling Bracket.

Angled Mounting recommended for a

vaulted or angled ceiling.

For ceilings higher than 9 feet, you can purchase Casablanca

extension downrods. All Casablanca fans use sturdy 3/4” diameter

pipe to assure stability and wobble-free performance.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury, attach the

fan directly to the support structure of the building according

to these instructions, and use only the hardware supplied.

Understanding Mounting and Installer’s Choice

Casablanca’s 2-position mounting system provides you maximum

installation exibility and ease. You can install your fan in one

of two ways, depending on ceiling height and your preference:

standard or angled mounting. e steps in this manual include

instructions for both mounting methods.

Considering Optional Accessories

Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a

wall-mounted or remote speed control. To install and use the

accessories, follow the instructions included with each product.

For quiet and optimum performance of your Hunter fan, use only

Hunter speed controls.

M6001-01 • 04/16/12 • Casablanca Fan Company

Installing Multiple Fans?

If you are installing more than

one fan, keep the fan blades and

blade irons (if applicable) in sets,

as they were shipped.

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following:

• Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in ceiling.

• Drill holes for and install wood screws.

• Identify and connect electrical wires.

• Lift 40 pounds.

If you need help installing the fan, your Casablanca fan dealer can

direct you to a licensed installer or electrician.

Gathering the Tools

You will need the following tools for installing the fan:

• Electric drill with 9/64” bit

• Standard screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)

• Phillips-head screwdriver (magnetic tip recommended)

• Wrench or pliers

• Ladder (height dependent upon installation site)

Checking Your Fan Parts

Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Refer

to the included Parts Guide. Check for any shipping damage to the

motor or fan blades. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your

Casablanca dealer or call Casablanca Technical Support Department at

888-227-2178 (In Canada, call 1-866-268-1936).

Preparing the Fan Site

Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in

“Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan location and attachment

to the building structure are essential for safety, reliable operation,

maximum eciency, and energy savings.

1 • Getting Ready

WARNING! To avoid possible electrical shock, make certain

that electricity is turned off at the circuit breaker or fuse box

before attempting any installation or repair procedure.

M6001-01 • 04/16/12 • Casablanca Fan Company

CAUTION: To avoid possible electrical shock, before installing your fan,

disconnect the power by turning o the circuit breakers to the outlet box

and associated wall switch location. If you cannot lock the circuit breakers

in the o position, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a

tag, to the service panel.

2-1. Note: e ceiling bracket may be mounted to an existing ceiling-

-fan-rated outlet box. If the outlet box is not ceiling-fan-rated,

Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure.

e pilot holes should be 9/64” in diameter and through the

outermost holes in the outlet box.

2-2. Your fan comes with four neoprene noise isolators. Position the

isolators between the ceiling bracket and the ceiling by inserting

the raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the ceiling

bracket.

2-3. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling bracket with the pilot holes

you drilled in the wood support structure. Note: e isolators

should be ush against the ceiling.

2-4. Place a at washer on each of the two 3” wood screws and pass

the screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling bracket into the

pilot holes you drilled.

Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants

on the screws. Do not over tighten.
