INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

SECTION 1 Preparing the Exhaust Fan

1.Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to the exhaust fan you should have:

1 - Grill with Light Lens

1 - Damper Assembly (attached)

2 - #8 Screws

2 - Lockwashers

4 - Mounting Rails

1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

2.Remove the fan’s venturi assembly, which is secured in place with one screw through the venturi (Figure 1). This is a captive screw and will stay installed in the venturi. Keep the venturi assembly and the grill in the carton until needed so they do not get damaged or lost.

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. This fan will require at least 6" of clearance in the ceiling or wall, and will mount through drywall up to 3/4" thick. The

fan mounts between 16" or 24" on center joists using the 4 provided mounting rails.

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