Before moun ting your Casablan ca f an, read th e f ollowin g help ful recomm en dati on s. Th e 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 . 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 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″ fan even in sm aller
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 the
back of this manual, it provides you with a simple ‘go’ or
‘no-go’ for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.

EXAMPLE 1

This slope is less than 32°.
It is OK to install your fan.

EXAMPLE 2

This slope is 32°.
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 32°.
Your fan will not hang straight down,
an adaptor is necessary.
Contact you local Authorized
Casablanca Dealer in regards to
purchasing a 'Slope Ceiling Adaptor'.
