Installing a New Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
If you do not have an existing fixture located where you wish
to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling fixture
outlet box must be installed and wired.
Using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box
After turning the power OFF at its source (either circuit
breaker or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect
the wiring. Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure
that it is marked ‘Approved for ceiling fan mounting’. If it is
not, a new box must be installed.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or personal injury, mount to outlet box marked ac-
ceptable for ceiling fan support using the mounting
hardware provided with the outlet box.

Note: After removing the old fixture, check the outlet box
to insure that it is supported by a joist or beam across its
upper surface. If not, a 2” x 4” stud must be installed.
Step 1. Remove the knockout plug in the center of the out-
let box or drill a
1
/2″ hole for the lag screw to pass through.
Then drill a
1
/4″ guide hole into the joist or beam to a depth
of 3″.
Step 2. Route the outlet box wires through the keyhole slot of
the crossbar mounting bracket as shown. Attach the crossbar
mounting bracket to outlet box with screws provided, assuring
that the outlet box wires are not pinched by the washer.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
use only the mounting hardware provided with
the approved outlet box to install the crossbar
mounting bracket.
