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.

•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.

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.

EXAMPLE	This slope is less than 32 degrees.
	It is okay to install your fan.
EXAMPLE 2	This slope is 32 degrees,the maximum
	slope that will allow the fan to hang
	straight down. It is okay to install
	your fan.
	This slope is more than 32 degrees.Your
EXAMPLE 3	fan will not hang straight down; an adaptor
	is necessary.Contact your localAuthorized
