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 mounting recom- mendations 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 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.

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.

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.

Calculation of 32°

Use the tear-off Ceiling Angle Template card inserted in the back of this manual, it provides you with a simple ‘go’ or ‘no-go’ for installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.

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.”
