MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Before mounting your Casablanca Candelier, read the following helpful recommendations. The location of the fan, ai r circu lation, and fa n size are all i mpor tant fact ors to consider before installation.

Location

Ceiling fan s have practical uses in almost ever y room in your home, but the Candelier ﬁ xture is intended for use in larger rooms. Keeping that principle in mind, we suggest you follow these mounting rec ommendat ions as you decide where to i nstall you r Casablanca Candelier.

• For safety reasons, the fan blades must be a minimum of 7 feet above the ﬂ oor.

• Do not install 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.

• Do not instal l a fan close to or over a pool or spa. High hum idity combi ned with corrosive gases will destroy the ﬁ nish and warp the fan blades.
