MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
General Guidelines
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.
• 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 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.

When to Use Extension Poles
For optimum 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" 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 the problem.
