securing with a wire nut. Test that the connection is secure
by pulling on the wire nut. Connect as follows:
• GREEN leads from mounting plate and fan to
GROUND conductor of power source. Secure with
wire nut.
• WHITE wire from fan to white NEUTRAL wire in ceiling
fixture outlet box. Secure with wire nut.
