MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following helpful recommendations. The location of the fan, air circulation,
and fan size are all important factors to consider before installation.
Location
Ceiling fans have practical uses in almost every room in your home. We suggest you follow these mount-
ing 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 suf-
ficient 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 fan speed capability permits the use of a full-size 52
″
fan even in smaller
rooms. For very large rooms, two fans may be needed.

Ceiling Angle Template
card inserted in the

‘no-go’ for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.

When to use extension poles
For best performance and best appearance, an
extension pole should be used with your Casa-
blanca 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
9
′
9”. See your Authorized Casablanca Dealer
for details.

pole length is not long enough and
inside blade is too close to downslope
or side wall. Extending pole length will
usually solve problem.
