1 - Grill with Light Lens
4 - Mounting Rails
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2.Remove the two machine screws holding the light reflector in place. Keep the reflector and screws in the carton until needed so they do not get damaged or lost. (Figure 1).

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL OVER A TUB OR MOUNT IN A SHOWER STALL ENCLOSURE.
4.Choose the location for your unit. 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 7" of clearance in the ceiling, and will mount through drywall up to 3/4" thick. The fan can be mounted directly to the joist using the mounting tabs on the side of the housing or between
16" on center joists using the 4 provided mounting rails.
5. Remove the electrical knockouts using a straightblade screw driver (Figure 3).
