Excessive wobbling
• Make sure power switch is on.
• Tighten all of the blade and
blade iron screws until they
are snug.
• Pull the pull chain to make sure
it is on.
Casablanca fans have the power to cut your cooling
costs up to 40%.
Beat the High Cost of Cooling
• Use the provided balancing
kit and instructions to balance
the fan.
The air movement created by a Casablanca ceiling
fan lets you set your thermostat higher and still stay
comfortable. Every degree you raise the thermostat
saves up to 7% on energy costs. So, you can cut back on
expensive air conditioning ... and save up to 40%* on
cooling. In winter, your Casablanca fan recirculates warm
air and saves up to 10%* on heating bills.
* On average at low speed settings. Your savings may
vary based on climate, building type and thermostat
setting.
• Push the motor reversing switch
firmly left or right to ensure that
it is engaged.
• Check the circuit breaker to
ensure the power is turned on.
Noisy Operation
