edge of housing will be flush with finished ceiling.

Additional positioning feature for 5/8”, 1”, &
1-1/4” thick ceiling material:

Holes in corners of housing are labeled with various
ceiling material thicknesses. Position housing so
bottom edge of joist is visible through a matched
set of holes. The housing is now in the proper
position for that ceiling material thickness.

Additional positioning feature for 1/2” thick
ceiling material:

Bend two tabs, on side of housing,
housing until tabs contact underside of joist.

Mark the keyhole slot on both mounting brackets.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

FLUSH

NOTE: The duct connec-

tor has a counter-balanced
damper flap. The flap will be

“open” approx. 1” when duct connector is attached to housing.
This design permits insulation to be in direct contact with fan/
light housing per UL (Underwriters Laboratories) standards.
The slightest backdraft, however, will close the damper flap,
preventing air from entering unit or finished space.

1. Snap the damper/duct connector onto housing. Make sure
that tabs on the connector lock into slots in housing. Top of
damper/duct connector should be flush with top of housing.

2. Connect 4” round duct to damper/duct connector and
extend duct to outside through a roof or wall cap. Check
damper to make sure that it opens freely. Tape all duct
connections to make them secure and air tight.

ATTACH THE GRILLE PAN AND
GLASS SHADE

1. Locate the grille pan
over the fan housing
and connect the
wiring harness plug
into white receptacle
in the fan housing.

2. Insert rod through
center hole of grille
pan. Use washer
between collar on
rod and pan.

3. Thread rod onto grille
screw in housing,
until pan is tight
against ceiling. Do not
overtighten mounting
rod.

4. Install bulbs. Use 60­watt (maximum), B10
type, candelabra bulbs
or energy efficient
equivalent.

5. Place rim of glass shade
into opening of two
stationary hooks. Pull out
the spring-loaded hook
and latch hook over rim of glass shade.

6. Restore electrical power and check operation of the unit.
