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.
