Step 1 - Choose the Fan Site

Proper ceiling fan location and attachment to the building

structure are essential for safety, reliable operation, maximum

eﬃciency, 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 ﬂoor and the ceiling

is at least 9 feet high.

• e fan blades have no obstructions to airﬂow, 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 oﬀ every item, prepare a new fan site as described on

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 oﬀ . If you cannot lock the circuit breakers in the

oﬀ 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

irons (if applicable) in sets, as they

were shipped.

If you are installing multiple

remote-controlled fans on the

same circuit breaker,

you may need to perform a few

extra steps to prevent interference

or faulty operation of your remote

controls. Go to
