VENTILATION FAN

MODEL 70F-ELED

Installation and Operating Instructions

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1.  Make sure that the electric service supply voltage 

is AC 120V, 60Hz.

2.  Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well 

as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act).

3.  Always disconnect the power source before 

working on or near the ventilating fan, motor or 

junction box.

4.  Protect the power cord from sharp edges, oil, 

grease, hot surfaces, chemicals or other objects.

5.  Do not kink the power cord.
6.  Do not install the unit where ducts are confugured 

as shown in Fig.A.

7.  Provide suction parts with proper ventilation.
8.  This unit is UL Listed for use over a bathtub or 

shower when installed in a GFCI protected branch 

circuit.

9.  These ventilating fans are intended for residential 

usage only.

10. This product is designed for ceiling mount 

installation.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC 

SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE 

FOLLOWING:

1.  Use this unit only in the manner intended by the 

manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the 

manufacturer.

2.  Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the 

power off at the service panel and lock the service 

disconnecting means to prevent the power from 

being switched on accidentally. When the service 

disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely 

fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, 

to the service panel.

3.  Installation work and electrical wiring must be 

done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with 

all applicable codes and standards, including fire-

rated construction.

4. 

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and 

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of 

fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. 

Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s 

guideline and safety standards such as those 

published by the National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA), and the American Society 

for Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning 

Engineers (ASHRAE) and local code authorities.

5.  When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, 

do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden 

utilities.

6.  Ducted ventilating fans must always be vented to 

the outdoors.

7.  If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it 

must be marked as appropriate for the application 

and be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit 

lnterrupter) – protected branch circuit.

8.  Do not use this unit with any other solid-state 

control device. Solid-state controls may cause 

harmonic distortion, which can cause a motor 

humming noise.

9.  NEVER place a switch where it can be reached 

from a tub or shower.

10. Not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated 

to a value greater than R40. (This is required for 

installation in Canada only).

11. Do not open/disassemble LED light engine.

exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and 

vapors.

2.  Not for use in cooking areas. (Fig.B)
3.  This product must properly connect to the 

grounding conductor of the supply circuit.

4.  To reduce the risk of injury to persons, install the 

fan at least 8.2 feet (2.5m) above the floor.

PREPARATION

Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Hammer, 

Flathead Screwdriver, Wire Nuts, Nails, Duct Tape, 

Phillips Head Screwdriver, Utility Knife  

Helpful Tools (not included): Electric Drill, Drill Bits

WARNING: Turn off electricity at breaker box 

before beginning installation.

  Carefully remove unit from carton.

  Check area above installation location to be sure 

that wiring can run to the planned location and 

that duct work can be run. Make sure the area is 

sufficient for proper ventilation.

  Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with 

installation.

  Before installation, provide inspection and future 

maintenance access at a location that will not 

interfere with installation work.

  You may need the help of a second person to install 

this fan: one person on the attic side and one on the 

room side.

Note: Installations may vary depending on how the 

previous bath fan was installed. Supplies necessary for 

the installation of your bath fan are not all included. 

However, most are available at your local home 

improvement or hardware store.

Proper insulation around the fan to minimize building 

heat loss and gain. 3” circular duct is recommended 

for installation. The ducting from this fan to the 

outside of building has a strong effect on air flow, 

noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, 

straightest duct routing possible for best performance, 

and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than 

recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce 

energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed 

with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.

  

The fan will operate most efficiently when located 

where the shortest possible duct run and minimum 

number of elbows will be needed.

  Use a roof cap or wall cap that has a built-in damper 

to reduce backdrafts.

  External timer/dimmer switch can be used. Please 

contact Delta Breez customer service and consult 

with a licensed electrician for compatibility.
