Troubleshooting
Your Fan
(3-Speed Troubleshooting)

Before Requesting
Service: Please follow this troubleshooting guide before contacting Casablanca Consumer Affairs Department TOLL FREE at 1-888-227-2178 Monday through Friday 7:00am - 4:00pm PST. For your convenience, you may also fax us at 1-909-629-3243.
Caring for Finishes: For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free
cloth should be used to prevent scratching the finish. A vacuum
cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust. Surface smudges
or an accumulation of dirt and dust can easily be removed
by using a mild detergent and slightly dampened soft cloth.
An antistatic agent may be used, but never use
abrasive cleaning agents. These will damage the finish. Painted
and high-gloss blades may be cleaned in the same manner.
Blades: Wood finish blades should
be cleaned with a furniture polishing cloth. Occasionally,
a light coat of furniture polish may be applied for added
protection and beauty. |
Never Lubricate this Fan!
The precision motor at the heart of your
Casablanca fan features sealed bearings that are lubricated
for life. Do not attempt to oil the motor.
Changing Light Bulbs
Be sure to turn power to the fan OFF at the wall switch or circuit breaker before changing light
bulbs. Replace bulbs with same type as removed from the fixture.
Each fan is rated for a maximum TOTAL wattage of lighting.
Exceeding the rated
maximum allowable wattage for the fan will burn out the fan
electronics module and void the warranty. |
