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 is not suitable for installation on a sloped ceiling.

• 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.

• In low ceiling locations, our optional low Ceiling Adaptor (lCA—available at extra cost) can be used to gain 3

certain fan models.

• 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.

using Existing Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box

After turning the power OFF at its source (either circuit breaker or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect the wiring.

Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure that it is marked "Approved for Ceiling Fan Mounting." If it is not, a new box

must be installed.

Installing a new Ceiling Fixture Outlet Box

If you do not have an existing fixture located where you wish to place your Casablanca fan, an approved ceiling fixture outlet

box must be installed and wired.

WARnInG!

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or

personal injury, mount to outlet box marked

"Acceptable Fan Support of 22.7 kg (50 lbs.) or

less" using the mounting hardware provided with

the outlet box.
