FIGURE 1

Refer to Figure 1.

1.Decide upon desired location in central hallway.

2.Remove attic insulation from area where the Whole-House Ventilator will be installed. Make sure the attic floor is free of electrical wiring or plumbing pipes. There should be approximately 36" of clearance between the top of ceiling joists and the roof. This will prevent back pressure which can reduce efficiency and increase noise level.

3.Using the template provided on the louver carton, determine the desired location and orientation of the louver. Drive a small nail up through the ceiling at one corner of the template.

4.Locate nail from above. Using this point as a reference, layout louver cutout.
