WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, observe the following:
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, please contact to the manufacturer.
B. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
C. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning
equipment to prevent backdrafting. 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.
D. The Housing Can FV-05-11VFA2 must be installed with Motor/Grille Assembly FV-05/08/11VFB2 only.
E. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
F. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
G. These models are UL listed for tub and shower enclosures.
H. Solid state controls may cause harmonic distortion which can cause motor humming noise. To reduce the risk of
fire or electric shock, do not use this unit with any solid-state control device.
I. Before servicing or cleaning 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.
J. NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
