Casablanca: Bringing Craftsmanship and Innovation

A true leader in the industry, Casablanca Fan Company was established in 1974 when they released their first belt-driven fan for commercial use. Burton A. Burton, the founder, had a love for antiques which inspired the designs and styles of the fans. These beautiful new fans brought forth an updated perspective to the industry.

In fact, Casablanca’s innovative mindset led to their creation of the cubic feet per minute test method. This method became the standard unit for the measuring of ceiling fan airflow, which all manufacturers now use and are required to provide. Casablanca prides itself on spearheading innovation, providing quality, and bringing true craftsmanship and artistry to the industry. With Casablanca, each fan is unique and tells a story.

Casablanca Stealth Installation Video Tutorial

For this video, we used a Casablanca Stealth ceiling fan in a brushed nickel finish.

Nada:Hi I'm Nada with Del Mar Fans & Lighting and we are here today to install the Casablanca Stealth fan. I will be installing it and Colby is here to assist me.

Colby:Before you begin turn the power off at the circuit breaker box.

Nada:Fortunately the installation manual has pictures of all these parts so that you can help identify them.

Colby:Thanks Nada.

Colby:Well we'll start by installing the mounting bracket that came along with the Stealth fan. After you have the mounting bracket installed, we'll begin installing the canopy. The canopy the hardware set comes with four screws and locknuts. Each one will go in here and mount directly to the mounting bracket.

Colby:Next utilize the packing materials upside down to support the fan while installing the PermaLock downrod. Cut the wires six inches outside of the downrod that you intend to use. Loosen the set screw before you screw in the PermaLock downrod. Tighten the set screw to ensure a secure and stable installation. Install the blade tips to the blades before assembling them on the motor body. Assemble the blades on the motor housing using the fiber washers and the screws that come along with the fan. Be sure that the fiber washer is in between the blade arm and the blade to ensure the blades do not wobble in the future.

So next, we're going to hang the fan to the canopy that's mounted to the mounting bracket. Nada this is going to be heavy so I'll stand back. Okay. Now you'll notice that there's a tongue and groove on the ball joint and in the canopy and you move it until it locks into place. Next, we'll wire the Casablanca Stealth.

Nada:It's really important to get the colors right in this step because otherwise, you have like an explosion.

Colby:You're absolutely right Nada. So we'll start with the green for ground, and then we'll do the black for power, and then we'll do the neutral for white.

Next I'm going to install the hatch. Thanks, Nada. When installing the hatch, tilt the motor outwards so it's easier to access where the screw screws into the mounting plate.

Nada:I don't know about you Colby but I'm getting tired. I need a break.

Colby:Next I'm going to install the halogen light bulbs and the glass diffuser. Thanks, Nada. With a little help. With the halogen bulb, it's very important not to touch it directly with your fingers because the oils on your fingers will reduce the life of the bulb. So I like to keep it wrapped as I'm installing it into the socket. And the glass diffuser slides into the slots and then locks into place.

Casablanca Wailea Installation Video Tutorial

For this video, we chose a snow-white Casablanca Wailea outdoor ceiling fan.

Ndad: Hello I am Nada with Del Mar Fans & Lighting and we are here today to install the Casablanca Wailea outdoor ceiling fan.

Colby: Be sure to use your installation manual so that this can be a safe and efficient process. Before you begin, turn the power off at the circuit breaker box.

Nada: This is a smaller ceiling fan.

Colby: Yes it is.

Nada: So it's just my size. Want me to install it?

Colby: We can try that. We can do it how we usually do it, where you take all the credit and I do all the work.

Nada: That works for me!

Colby: Awesome.

Nada: Let's keep it that way.

Colby: So let's start with the mounting bracket that we'll install directly to the fan junction box.

Nada: Next we install the canopy to the mounting bracket

Colby: Make sure that the wires come through the hatch opening. Then, using the long machine screws with the lock nut washers that came with the hardware accessory bag. Next, we'll install the Permalock downrod to the top of the motor housing.

First you want to include wires six inches from the distance to the end of the downrod. Next, thread the wires through the Permalock downrod until they come out the other end, remembering to use the included Allen key.

Unscrew the set screw, twist the downrod pole into the top of the motor housing. And then use the Allen key set screw and tighten. Next, we mount the blade arms to the blades utilizing the washers and blade screws that came in the hardware pack.

Nada: Next we're going to install the...is this the motor?

Colby: The motor fan body, definitely.

Nada: You have to get the colors right here otherwise you'll have like explosions.

Colby: And I like to start with the ground wire first to make sure the fan is grounded.

Nada: What color is the ground wire, Colby?

Colby: The ground wire is green and I think that's pretty standard. And then we move on to the white neutral wires and then the black power wires and the blue wire is also a power wire for the fan light, the black wire coming out of the fan is power for the fan motor.

Nada: The next step is to remove the orange shipping blocks from the fan because clearly they don't match.

Colby: And everything has got to match these days.

Nada: Everything has got to match. Next we're going to install the blades. These are smaller.

Colby: Yes and from our prior example we do want to keep all the screws from the shipping blocks because they're going to total all the screws that we need to use to mount the blades with the blade arms to the motor housing. And you just do these one at a time, not over tightening, you don't want to do the final tightening until you have all the blades on and in place.

Nada: Next we're going to install the lower switch housing.

Colby: First I'm going to pre-screw in two of the screws because this piece has a couple of slots that will give us the ability to fasten it on there ahead of time. So we thread this wire group through. Once I get it fastened I'll make sure I connect these wire groups and then install the remaining screws.

Nada: Our next step is to install the switch housing cap.

Colby: Thanks.

Using the switch housing cap hardware screws. And there's two grooves, line it up, and then I tighten these screws.

Nada: Ta-Da! Finally we're going to install two pull chains to this fan.

Colby: Perfect.

Nada: That wraps up the installation of our Casablanca Wailea ceiling fan. Now we can relax and enjoy the breezes. Thank you for joining us here at Del Mar Fans & Lighting.

Casablanca Panama Installation Video Tutorial

For this video, we used a 54" Casablanca Panama ceiling fan with a brushed nickel finish.

Nada: Hi, I'm Nada with Del Mar Fans & Lighting and I'm here today to show you how to install a Casablanca Panama ceiling fan. Colby will be assisting me. Thank you for your help, Colby.

Colby: Wow, so I'm going to be able to sit back and relax, while I do the installation. What a great concept!

Nada: I know it works for me too! That's great.

Colby: Before you begin, turn the power off at the circuit breaker box.

Nada: Be sure to use your installation manual to ensure a safe and efficient process. The first step is to install the mounting bracket to the fan junction box.

Colby: That's right.

Nada: Colby is going to help me a little bit with this part.

Colby: Remove the shipping blocks, but be sure to save the screws because you will need them to attach the blade arms to the motor housing. Next, utilize the packing materials to stabilize the fan while installing the PermaLock downrod. We've added a longer extension for our display purposes, we've installed the sleeve, then added the ball joint, and we've cut the wires to six inches longer than the downrod itself. Be sure to unscrew the set screw to allow the PermaLock downrod to screw in completely. Use a wrench to tighten the set screw; be sure not to over tighten.

Next, we will install the blades to the blade arms. Using the rubber grommets included, insert them into the blade holes, then use the screws included to attach the blades to the blade arms.

Nada: Next, we'll install the fan body to the mounting bracket.

Colby: Thanks.

Nada: Next, we're going to wire the fan. This is where knowing your colors becomes important so nobody gets zapped.

Colby: That's right, Nada. It's most important to start with the ground wires, which are the green wires, and the follow the neutral wires, which are the white wires, and then end with the power wires, which are the black and blue wires. Matching the black and blue wires together is very important. Of course, you have the power off at this point.

Nada: Next, we're going to secure the canopy to the mounting bracket.

Colby: Using the two screws that come with the hardware pack inside the Casablanca Panama box.

Nada: I'm tired, can we take a break yet?

Colby: Not so fast, Nada, we have to install the blades next. So we'll take the pre-assembled blades that we assembled earlier and install the blade arm directly to the motor housing with the screws that came with the fan.

Nada: Next, we are going to install the upper switch housing. I'll let you do it since you are a little taller than I am.

Colby: Thanks, Nada. Now I pre-screwed in two of the screws because there are slots large enough to put them in and put a slight turn then it holds it on the lower switch housing in place while you actually tighten the screws.

Nada: Next, we are going to install the lower switch housing. It's the part with all the pretty colors.

Colby: Thanks, Nada. And we'll take the wire assembly and attach it based on the colors and the letters and fit it all in there nice and snug, and then use the screws that came with the hardware kit.

Nada: The last step is to install the pull chain. Now we get to relax and enjoy all our hard work.

Colby: Thanks, Nada.
