A Casablanca ceiling fan can immediately transform a boring and bland room into an area that looks restful and relaxing. This brand of ceiling fan is renowned for its quality construction and quiet operation; its products carry one of the industry's best warranties.
Instructions
1. Turn off the power to the circuit prior to working on it. Before you wire the Casablanca ceiling fan, make sure it is mounted to a ceiling fan-rated box. If you are replacing an existing light fixture with the Casablanca fan, odds are the box that is in the ceiling is not rated to support the weight of a ceiling fan. Replace it with one that is before you continue.
2. Look at the wires that come out of the top of the ceiling fan. Depending on the model, you may have a black, white and green or you may have black, white, green and blue wires. If your ceiling fan has a light kit already on it, then yours will be the four-wire variety. Hang the assembled fan in its mounting bracket so the ball-joint supports the weight so you can make the connections.
3. Cut the ceiling fan wires to a length that is comfortable to work with. Something around 6 inches is a good length. Use the wire strippers to strip about 3/4-inch insulation from the ends of each wire.
4. Connect the ground wire from the fan with the ground wire connected to the mounting bracket and the ground wire in the ceiling box. Wrap the wire connector with electrical tape and tuck the wires back up into the ceiling box.
5. Connect the white fan wire to the white wire in the ceiling box. Wrap electrical tape around the wire connector and tuck these wires into the ceiling box. Connect both the black and blue (if your model has one) wires from the ceiling fan to the black wire in the ceiling box. Wrap electrical tape around the wire connector and tuck the wires into the ceiling box.
6. Finish assembling the canopy as directed. Turn the circuit back on and test out your new Casablanca fan.
