MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Before moun ting your Casablan ca f an, read th e following helpful recommendation s . The locati on o f the f an, air cir culation,
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 . W e sugg est you f ollow th ese m ount­ing 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 low ceiling locations, our optional Low Ceiling Adaptor (LCA)—available at
extra cost—can be used to gain 3

1

/2″.

• 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 the use o f 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 and best appearance, an
extension pole should be used with your Casa­blanca fan when installing on high (cathedral)
ceilings or sloped ceilings. Casablan ca offers stan­dard poles in increments of 6″ up to 5′. Custom
poles are available in lengths up to 10′. 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.

DETERMINE CEILING ANGLE
