3.Check the chosen area from above to be certain that the wiring can be installed and that the installation will not interfere with any existing wiring. Remove the electrical compartment cover (which holds the fan’s receptacle) and place it somewhere handy. Select the most convenient electrical knockout and remove it.
4.From above, position the housing between ceiling joists, and use the housing as a template to mark the required cut out in the ceiling.
5.After cutting out the required area, install the housing using the hanging brackets as described above.
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 an approved wall switch carrying the appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green or bare copper), and one hot (black lead connected to the switch). 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.
2.Where you have access inside the fan’s junction box, connect the white wire from the house to the white wire of the fan’s receptacle. Connect the black wire from the fan switch to the black wire of the fan’s receptacle (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.
