SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install
the product.

1. Always disconnect the power supply prior to servicing the fan, motor or junction box.

2. Installation work must be carried out by a qualied person(s) in accordance to all local and safety

codes including the rules for re-rated construction.

3. Follow all local building, safety and electrical codes as well as NEC (National Electrical Code)

and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act).

4. Electric service supply must be 120 volts, 60 hertz.

5. This unit must be properly grounded.

6. Do not bend or kink the power wires.

7. Exercise care to not damage existing wiring when cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings.

8. Sufcient air supply is required for proper combustion and the exhaustion of gases through the

chimney (ue) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back-drafting. See the standards of NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) and ASHRAE (American Society for Heating Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers) and the local building code authorities.

9. Do not use this fan with any solid state control device, such as a remote control, dimmer switch, or
certain timers. Mechanical timers are not solid state devices.

10. This ventilation fan is approved for use over a bathtub or shower when installed in a GFCI protected

circuit. Do not use fans over a bathtub or shower that are not approved for that application and

marked accordingly.

11. Do not install in a cooking area.

12. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive vapors.

13. Fans should always be vented to the exterior and in compliance with local codes.

14. Do not install in a ceiling with insulation greater than R42.

15. Duct work should be installed in a straight line with minimal bends.

16. Duct work size must be the same size as the discharge and should not be reduced. Reducing
the duct size may increase fan noise.

17. Prior to service or cleaning this unit, shut off power supply at the panel and lock to prevent the

power from being turned on. If the panel cannot be locked, clearly mark the panel with a warning
tag to prevent the power from being turned on.

18. Use this unit in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, please call
customer service.
