MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
SLOPED CEILING INSTALLATIONS
Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following helpful recommendations. Th e 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 fl oor.
• 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 fi nish 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
installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.
