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.

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.

EXAMPLE 1
This slope is less than 32½.
It is OK to install your fan.
EXAMPLE 2
This slope is 32½. 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 32½.
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.
