MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Before moun ting your Casablan ca f an, read th e f ollowing h elp ful recomm en dati on s. Th e locati on of th e f an, air circulati on,
and fan size are all important factors to consider before installation.
Location
Ceiling fans have pr actical uses in alm ost every r oom in your h om e . We suggest you follow these moun ting 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 frompool cues.
• In low ceiling locations, our optional low ceiling adaptor (LCA)—available at
extra cost—can be used to gain 31/2" on som fan series.
• 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 f an speed capability permits th e use of a full-size 52" f an even in
smaller rooms. For very large rooms, two fans may be needed.

When to Use Extension Poles
For best performance an d best 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 10'. See your
Authorized Casablanca Dealer f or 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.
Calculation of 32
Use the tear-off Ceiling Angle Template card inserted in th e
back of this manual, it provides you with a simple ‘go’ or
‘no-go’ for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.
