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 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 Ceiling Angle
Use the tear-off Ceiling Angle Template
card inserted in this manual. It provides
you with a simple “go” or “no-go” for install-
ing your fan on a sloped ceiling.
7' minimum
When to Use Extension Poles
For optimum performance and appearance, an ex-
tension pole should be used with your Casablanca
fan when installing on high (cathedral) ceilings or
sloped ceilings. Casablanca 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.

This slope is 32º. This is the maximum
slope that will allow the fan to hang

This slope is more than 32º. Your fan will not
hang straight down, an adaptor is necessary.
Contact your local Authorized Casablanca
Dealer in regards to purchasing a “Sloped
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.
