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
1 - Damper Assembly (attached)
4 - Mounting Rails
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2.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 8" 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.
3.Select the most convenient electrical knockout and remove using a

SECTION 3
Existing Construction
1.Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline onto the ceiling material (Figure 3). Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful not to cut or damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Install the side mounting rails on the housing and position the housing in the previously cut hole so that it is flush with the finished ceiling. Secure the ends of the mounting rails to the joists (Figure 2).

Wiring
CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
CAUTION: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
NOTE: This unit includes a side access panel for wiring that does not require the removal of the fan’s blower assembly. If you choose to wire the unit from the inside, you will need to remove the blower assembly and internal wiring compartment. Both methods are equally effective.
1a. External Wire Compartment: Remove the wire compartment cover screw and place cover in a secure place (Figure 5).
