Wiring Fan/Light Independently:

Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the

appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green or bare copper), and two 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.

1a. From where you have access to inside the fan’s junction box, connect the one white wire

from the house to both the white wire from the fan’s light receptacle and the white wire
from the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the first black wire from the wall switch to the
red wire from the fan’s light receptacle. Connect the second black wire from the switch to
the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the ground wire from the house to the green wire
from the fan’s grounding screw

(Figure 8).

Use approved methods for all connections.

Completing the Installation

1. Reinstall the fan’s venturi by holding it at approximately a 45 degree angle, hook the two

tabs on the venturi into the slots on the housing and secure in place by tightening the
venturi screw. Rotate the blower wheel by hand to ensure it spins freely. Now plug the
fan motor into the receptacle

(Figure 10).

2. Install the grill/lens/light reflector, by first removing the lens from the grill (there are two

tabs on either side that hold the lens in place). Then remove the acorn nut and the lock
washer which are installed on the reflector mounting bolt in the fan housing. Adjust the
height of the reflector mounting bolt so that the grill will be tight up against the finished
ceiling and less than 1/4” of the reflector mounting bolt protrudes through the reflector.
Secure the reflector bolt’s position by tightening the factory installed nut against the
motor clip

(Figure 11).

CAUTION:

FAILURE TO SECURE THE REFLECTOR BOLT MAY RESULT IN A

RATTLING OR HUMMING NOISE.

3. After the reflector bolt is secure, raise the grill/reflector up into position, and plug the

reflector into the appropriate receptacle. Secure the assembly to the reflector bolt using the
acorn nut and lock washer. Install the appropriate bulb (not included) specific to your model:

ASLC50/ASLC70:

100 watt maximum, type A19 medium base incandescent bulb.

ASF50/ASF70:

Air King model 26SBL or compatible GU24 26 watt self ballasted lamp.

Reinstall the lens into the grill

(Figure 12)
