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.

General GUIdelIneS

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.

7' minimum

When to use extension Poles
For optimum performance and appearance, an

extension 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.

not long enough and inside blade is too close to

usually solve the problem.
