Fan Installation - Casablanca General Owner's Manual

FAN INSTALLATION OUTSIDE THE USA - EXCLUDING MODELS ENDING IN 'E'
If you do not have an existing fixture located where you wish to place your Casablanca fan, a new ceiling fixture outlet box
must be installed (use an outlet box marked acceptable for fan support) and an electrical cable to run it. This box must be
secured to the ceiling according to the outlet box manufacturer's instructions. It is recommended that this be done by
a qualified electrician.
Vaulted or Cathedral Ceiling Installations
Your Casablanca fan may be installed on a vaulted or cathedral ceiling in the same manner as described for a flat ceiling. The
®
Hang-Tru mounting system makes it possible to hang your fan on sloped ceilings up to a 32 angle.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
After turning electrical power off, lower the old fixture to expose the wiring and the ceiling fixture outlet box. Cut the
fixture wires or if wire nuts have been used, unscrew them and disconnect the wires. The fixture can then be removed.
After removing the old fixture, check the outlet box to sure that it is supported by a joist or beam across its upper surface.
If not, a 2" x 4" stud must be installed.
