MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Before moun ting your Casablan ca f an, read th e following helpful recommend ation s . The locati on o f th e fan, 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 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 appear ance, 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 the back of this manual, it provides you with a simple ‘go’ or ‘no-go’ for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.
