5.After cutting out the required area install the housing using the hanging brackets or housing mounting tabs as described previously.

Ducting

Note: All ducting must comply with local and national building codes.

1.Connect the ducting to the fan's duct collar. Secure in place using duct tape or screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the outside through a wall or roof cap. To ensure maximum air delivery, keep the length of duct and number of elbows to a minimum.

Electrical Wiring

WARNING: POWER MUST BE PROVEN DISCONNECTED BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION, INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE! FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Caution: Make sure power is switched off at service panel before beginning this installation.

Note: All wiring must comply with local and national codes. You must ground this unit.

1.Run wiring from the wall switch (not provided) to the housing electrical compartment, 1 neutral (white), 1 ground (green or bare copper), and 3 hot (black leads connected to the switch). Make sure you identify which wire is for which component. Secure the electrical wires to the housing with an approved electrical connector (make sure you leave enough wiring in the box to make the connection to the fan’s receptacle and the light’s receptacle).

2.From where you have access to inside the fan’s junction box, connect the white wire from the house to the white wire of the fan’s receptacle and the light’s receptacle, then connect one black wire to the house wire intended for fan control, connect the yellow wire to the house wire intended for main lighting control and connect the red wire to the house wire intended for night lighting control (use approved electrical connectors). Connect the ground wire to the green ground screw in the fan’s junction box. Replace the fan’s wire compartment cover.

Completing the Installation

1. After you have installed the housing in the ceiling,

run ducting from the unit to the outside and have made the necessary electrical connections you can reinstall the light housing, motor plate and blower in the fan housing (Fig. 3). Plug the fan’s blower assembly into the fan’s receptacle before you lift

the motor plate/blower assembly up into possition and secure the motor plate using the screw removed earlier.

Plug the light housing into the intended wiring harness after the motor plate is secure. Rotate the blower wheel by hand to ensure it revolves freely.

2.Install lamps, 100 watt maximum for light and 7 watt maximum for night light.

3.To install the grill, squeeze the two ends of each spring fastener together and insert each into the slots on the motor plate. Push the grill up to the ceiling.
