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
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 low ceiling locations, our optional Low Ceiling Adaptor (LCA)—available at
extra cost—can be used to gain 3
1
/
2
″
.
• 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.
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 your local
Authorized Casablanca Dealer in regards
to purchasing a “Slope Ceiling Adaptor.”
For best performance and best appearance,
an extension pole should be used with your
Casablanca fan when installing on high (ca-
thedral) ceilings or sloped ceilings.
Casablanca offers standard poles in incre-
ments of 6
″
up to 5
′
. Custom poles are
available in lengths up to 9
′
9
″
. See your
Authorized Casablanca Dealer for 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.
