motor operated appliance, or transformer-supplied appliance.
• This fan is designed to be installed on an existing electrical outlet box. The outlet box must be UL Listed for ceiling fan
installations, if it is not, a new box must be installed. Casablanca extension poles are available for sloped or high ceiling
installations.
• This ceiling fan requires a grounded electrical supply of 120 VAC, 60 Hz and a minimum 15 amp circuit. The maximum
current requirement for the fan with light fixture is 3.0 amps. The fan uses about 1 amp or 100 watts. Maximum light
current is 2.0 amps or 240 watts of lighting.
• Where wire nuts are employed, be sure all bare wires are within the connectors. When installing the canopy hatch, make
sure all wires are within the canopy and that no wires are being pinched.
• WARNING: Do not bend the blade brackets when installing the brackets, balancing the blades or cleaning the fan. Do
not insert foreign objects in between the rotating fan blades.

or handling damage and report any such damage directly
to your authorized Casablanca dealer.
