electric shock and injury to person, including the following:

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.

If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at

service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to
prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When
the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by

qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-related construction.

d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

e) If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be

marked as appropriate for the application and be connected
to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch
circuit.

f) This unit must be grounded.

g) To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced

impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off
power unit.

h) NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub

or shower.

i) Suitable for use with electronic speed control device.

j) Do not install into ceilings thermally insulated to a value

greater than R40.

b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting

of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:

PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE

SECTION 1

Preparing the Exhaust Fan

1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present.
In addition to the exhaust fan you should have:

1 - Grill
1 - Damper Assembly (attached)
4 - Mounting Rails
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

2. Choose the location for your fan. To ensure the best air and sound
performance, it is recommended that the length of ducting and the
number of elbows be kept to a minimum, and that insulated hard

ducting be used. Larger duct sizes will

reduce noise and airflow restrictions.
This fan will require at least 10" of
clearance in the ceiling or wall, and will
mount through drywall up to 3/4" thick.

3. Select the most convenient electrical
knockout and remove using a straight­blade screw driver (Figure 1).

SECTION 4

Ducting

CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND

NATIONAL BUILDING CODES.

1. Connect the ducting to the fan’s duct collar (Figure 4). Secure
in place using tape or screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the
outside through a wall or roof cap.

SECTION 2

New Construction

1. Install the rails on the housing and position the housing next to the
joist. Line up housing so that it will be flush with the finished ceiling.
Secure the ends of the rails with screws or nails (not included) to
the joists and slide the housing into the final position (Figure 2).

SECTION 3

Existing Construction

1. Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline onto
the ceiling material (Figure 3). Set housing aside and cut opening,
being careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden
utilities. Install the rails on the housing and position the housing in
the previously cut hole so that it is flush with the finished ceiling.
Secure the ends of the rails to the joists (Figure 3).

SECTION 5

Wiring

CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE

PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

CAUTION: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE

IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

NOTE: This unit includes a side access panel for wiring that does not

require the removal of the fan’s blower assembly. If you choose to wire
the unit from the inside, you will need to remove the blower assembly
and internal wiring compartment. Both methods are equally effective.

1a. External Wire Compartment: Remove the wire compartment

cover screw and place cover in a secure place (Figure 5).
