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 recommenda-
tions 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 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.

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.
