Before mounting your Casablanca fan, read the following helpful recommendations. e 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 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.
• 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 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.
This slope is less than 32º.
It is OK to install your fan.
EXAMPLE 1
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.
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.
EXAMPLE 2
EXAMPLE 3
Calculation of Ceiling angle
use the tear-off Ceiling AngleTemplate card inserted in this
manual. It provides you with a simple “go” or “no-go” for
installing your fan on a sloped ceiling.
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.”

after turning the power off at its source (either the circuit
breaker or fuse box), lower the old fixture and disconnect
the wiring. Check the ceiling fixture outlet box to be sure
it is marked “Approved for Ceiling Fan Mounting.”If it is
not, a new box must be installed.
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

fan finishes
• For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to prevent scratching the finish.
• A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier dust.
• Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt and dust can be removed easily using a mild detergent and slightly dampened
soft cloth. an antistatic agent may be used, but never use abrasive cleaning agents as these will damage the finish.
Blades
• Wood-finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be
applied for added protection and beauty.
• For painted, high-gloss or plastic blades (ABS), surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt and dust can be removed easily
using a mild detergent and slightly dampened soft cloth. an antistatic agent may be used, but never use abrasive cleaning
agents as these will damage the finish.
no need for lubrication
• Never lubricate this fan! e precision motor at the heart of your Casablanca fan features sealed bearings that are lubricated
for life.
• Do not attempt to oil the motor.
Changing lightbulbs
• Be sure to turn the power to OFF at the wall switch or circuit breaker before changing lightbulbs.
• Replace bulbs with the same type as you removed from the light fixture.
• e maximum wattage rating for this fan’s light kit is 240 watts.
