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.

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 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.

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.

EXAMPLE 1	This slope is less than 32º.
	It is OK to install your fan.

	This slope is 32º. This is the maxi-
	mum slope that will allow the fan to
EXAMPLE 2	hang straight down. It is OK to install
	your fan.
	This slope is more than 32º. Your
	fan will not hang straight down; an
	adapter is necessary. Contact your
EXAMPLE 3	local Authorized Casablanca Dealer
	in regards to purchasing a “Sloped
	Ceiling Adapter.”
