DESCRIPTION
This Panasonic ventilating fan model is listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.
This product uses a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor.
The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.
It also incorporates a thermal-cut off for safety. The trim ring is a spring-loaded, quick remove type. A
damper for preventing air counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan
developed to reduce the noise level.
The lighting unit is an energy-saving, lighting device that uses one 11 W BR30 shape LED lamp (model:
11BR30G4DIM/927/GU24, from the company Green Creative) and produces almost the same
illumination as a standard 65 W incandescent lamp.
FCC Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning this
product on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
