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 mounting recommendations as you decide where to install
your Casablanca fan.
• This fan requires a minimum ceiling height of 9 feet.
• 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, 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 54-inch fan even in smaller rooms. For very large rooms, two fans
may be needed.

SUGGESTED EXTENSION POLE LENGTHS
When to Use Extension Poles
For best performance and appearance, an extension pole
should be used with your Casablanca fan when installing on
high (cathedral) ceilings or sloped ceilings. Casablanca offers
standard poles in increments of 6 inches up to 5 feet. Custom
poles are available in lengths up to 9 feet 9 inches. See your
Authorized Casablanca Dealer for details.
NOTE:
The fan may wobble or vibrate if the pole length
is not long enough and the inside blade is too close to the
downslope or side wall. Extending the pole length usually
will solve the problem.
Calculation of 32 Degrees
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.
