General Safety Information
Only qualified personnel should install this fan.
Personnel should have a clear understanding of these
instructions and should be aware of general safety
precautions. Improper installation can result in electric
shock, possible injury due to coming in contact with
moving parts, as well as other potential hazards.
1. Do not install this ventilation fan where interior room
temperature may exceed 104°F (40°C).
2. Make sure that the electric service supply voltage is
AC 120V, 60Hz.
3. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as
the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the National
Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), where applicable.
Follow the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada.
4. Always disconnect the power source before working
on or near the fan, motor, light fixture, or junction
box.
5. Protect the power cord from sharp edges, oil,
grease, hot surfaces, chemicals or other objects.
6 Do not kink the power cord.
7. Do not install the unit where ducts are configured as
shown in Fig. 2.
8. Provide make up air for properventilation.

CAUTION!
• For general ventilating use only. Do
not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
• Not for use in cooking areas (Fig. 1)
• This product must be properly
grounded.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons,
observe the following:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If
you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel
and lock 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.
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
• 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.
• When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• Do not use this fan with any solid state speed control.
• 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
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected branch circuit.
• These models are ETL listed for tub and shower enclosures.
• These fans are not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated
to a value greater than R40.

All fans are supplied with flow selection switch, multi-speed
dial, time delay dial and air trimming dial.
• Flow Selection: The switch chooses 50, 80 or 110 cfm and
is the default highspeed.
• Multi-Speed: The switch allows the fan to run continuously
at low speed.
Example: Flow Selection setting is 110 cfm, Multi-Speed
can be chosen 0, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 or 90 cfm as a
lowspeed
• Time Delay: This sets the time required to return to low
speed after high speed input is completed. Setting range is
0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
• Air Trimming: Allows for adjustment of the airflow up to
70cfm. Dial adjustments impact high and low speed.

Typical Installation
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the airflow, noise and energy use of
the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with
smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around
the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold
growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not
achieve their rated airflow.
Rigid metal duct is recommended for optimal fan
performance.
