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.
• 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 oor.
• 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 sufcient 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
nish 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.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
GETTING STARTED
Note: The weight of this fan is 28 pounds.
WARNING!
Toreducetheriskofre,electricalshock,or
