VENTURA 2.7

WHOLE HOUSE FAN

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing a Ventura

 whole house fan by AirScape

®

.

 This fan has been designed to 

provide many years of natural, quiet, and energy-efficient cooling.

Please take a few minutes to read over this manual and its accompanying documents to make sure you 
are prepared to install the fan. In particular: 

• 

The homeowner/resident should read the WHERE TO LOCATE section so that the fan will be correctly 

located to maximize its effectiveness and efficiency.

• 

The VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS section is also particularly important, as it describes the minimum 
attic ventilation neccessary to operate the fan.

• 

The INSTALLATION: BACKDRAFT DAMPER section contains important information regarding the con-
straints within which this fan’s backdraft damper must be installed. 

Before installing this fan, inspect it and all of its parts for any damage it may have sustained during ship-
ping.

 DO NOT INSTALL DAMAGED EQUIPMENT. 

If you suspect this fan has been damaged during 

shipping, contact AirScape technical support by phone at 1.866.448.4187, or email at experts@airscape-
fans.com.

Whole House Fans are designed to be installed within a home’s attic, which makes them and their sub-

components extremely difficult to access once installed.

 

TEST THIS FAN OUTSIDE OF THE ATTIC 

BEFORE INSTALLING IT PERMANENTLY.
