MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
SLOPED CEILING INSTALLATION
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 recommenda-
tions as you decide where to install your Casablanca fan.
• 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 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.
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.
7' minimum
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.
Blades must be a

It is OK to install your fan.
This slope is 32º. This is the maximum
slope that will allow the fan to hang
straight down. It is OK to install your
fan.
This slope is more than 32º. Your fan will
not hang straight down, an adaptor is
necessary. Contact your local Authorized
Casablanca Dealer in regards to purchasing
a “Sloped Ceiling Adaptor.”
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.
