EXAMPLE 1

Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following 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 mounting recommendations as you decide where to install 
your Casablanca fan. 

•  For safety reasons, the fan blades must be a minimum of 8' above the 

fl oor. 

•  Do not locate 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.

•  In kitchens, 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 fi nish 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.

Calculation of Ceiling Angle

Use the tear-off 

Ceiling Angle Template

 card inserted 

in this manual. It provides you with a simple “go” or 
“no go” for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.

When to Use an Extension Downrod

For optimum performance and appearance, an 
extension downrod should be used with your 
Casablanca fan when installing on high (cathedral) 
ceilings or sloped ceilings. Casablanca offers 
standard downrods in increments of 6" up to 60". See 
your Authorized Casablanca Dealer for details.

NOTE:

 The fan may wobble or vibrate if pole length 

is not long enough and inside blade is too close to 
downslope or side wall. Using a longer downrod will 
usually solve the problem.
