MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following helpful recommendations. The location of the fan, air

circulation, and fan size are all important factors to consider before installation.

Location
Ceiling fans have practical uses in almost every room in your home. We suggest you follow these mounting
recommendations as you decide where to install your Casablanca fan.
• For safety reasons, the fan blades must be a minimum of 7’ above the floor.
• Do not locate the fan in a doorway or above a swinging door.
• In any installation, the tips of the blades must be at least 18” from the wall in order
to provide sufficient clearance for the blades.
• In bedrooms, fans work best when mounted above the foot of the bed.
• Over pool tables, be sure to provide plenty of clearance to avoid
damage from pool cues.
• In kitchens be sure to allow for open cupboard doors to clear the fan
blades.
• Do not install a fan close to, or over, a pool or spa. High humidity
combined with corrosive gases will destroy the finish and warp the
blades.

Fan Size
Variable fan speed capability permits the use of a full-size 52” fan even in
smaller rooms. For very large rooms, two fans may be needed.

Calculation of 32°

Use the tear-off Ceiling Angle Template card inserted

Suggested Extension Pole

When to Use Extension Poles

For best performance and best appearance,

an extension pole should be used with your

Casablanca fan when installing on high

(cathedral) ceilings or sloped ceilings. Casa-

blanca offers standard poles in increments

of 6″ up to 5″. Custom poles are available

in lengths up to 9′9″. See your Authorized

Casablanca Dealer for details.

MAxIMUM

ANGLE 32º

ExAMPLE 1

This slope is less than 32°.

It is OK to install your fan.
ExAMPLE 2

This slope is 32°. This is the maximum

slope that will allow the fan to hang

straight down. It is OK to install

your fan.
ExAMPLE 3

This slope is more than 32°.

Your fan will not hang straight down,

an adaptor is necessary. Contact your

local Authorized Casablanca Dealer in

regards to purchasing a “Slope Ceiling

Adaptor.”

Note: Fan may wobble or

vibrate if pole length is not

long enough and inside blade is

too close to downslope or side

wall. Extending pole length will

usually solve problem.
