Mounting Recommendations; Sloped Ceiling Installations - Casablanca Ceiling fans Installation Manual

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
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 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
Casablanca fan when installing on high (ca-
thedral) ceilings or sloped ceilings.
Casablanca offers standard poles in incre-
ments of 6" up to 5'. Custom poles are
available in lengths up to 9'9". See your Au-
thorized 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.
