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
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.

Locate unit above (GFCI-protected circuit required)
or within 5 feet of the shower head.
Locate unit away from heating or cooling sources
which can affect humidity levels.
Do not locate near window. Unit may respond to the
outdoor humidity level.
Unit must be installed in ceiling to properly sense
moisture.
proper sensing.
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.

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 the air flow,
noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest,
straightest duct routing possible for best perfor-
mance, 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.
External timer can be used please contact Delta Breez
customer service and consult with a licensed electri-
cian for compatibility.
