           Safety Rules

    1.  Read instructions carefully.
    2.  Electrical hook up should be done by a qualified electrician. All electrical wiring must conform to 
          local code standards. 

           WARNING:   

To reduce the risk of electric shock, always disconnect power and unplug pump motorbefore

          Avoid Backdrafts

Care should be taken to avoid backdrafting combustion appliances that are installed in the conditioned
 space. It is strongly recommended that combustion appliances NOT be installed in such a manner that 
they use room air for for combustion. The whole house fans is capable of pulling large quantities of air
 from the home and  particulary if not enough windows are open, may easily backdraft a water heater
 located inside a louvered closet door

  Installation Instructions

Select a tentative location. You should consider all the clearances that you 
will need by observing both inside and outside before making a final 
selection. Make sure from the outside wall that the unit is high enough that 
the bottom will not touch the ground and the top won’t stick above the 
window (if placed under window). Usually 36 inches is needed from 
window to ground level for horizontal. 

CLEARANCES around “ROUGH OPENING”

Make a cutout template out of cardboard using the ‘rough opening’ 
dimensions. 

 

After making sure you have the clearances needed place the cutout 
template on the inside wall and draw the template outline. For the vertical 
model, the template should be centered on a stud. For the horizontal 
model, it should be centered between the king studs if under a window. 
The template should be at least 2” above the baseboard to allow for the 
interior grill. 

 

Cutout the drywall per the template using a drywall handsaw. Do not saw 
through any studs. 

Remove the drywall cutout and any insulation inside the cavity. 

 

Transfer the location to the outside by drilling 3/8” holes at the 4 corners 
through the outside wall from inside. 

Temporarily tape plastic or cardboard over the inside opening to keep out 
dust & debris while cutting the opening in the outside wall.
