2.Remove the wire compartment cover and store in the carton until needed so it does not get damaged or lost (Figure 1).

Figure 1

3.Choose the location for your fan. To ensure the best air and sound performance, it is recommended that the length of ducting and the number of elbows be kept to a minimum, and that insulated hard ducting be used.

Larger duct sizes will reduce noise and airflow restrictions.

4. Select the most convenient electrical knockout and remove using a straight-blade screw driver (Figure 2).
