SECTION 1
Preparing the Unit
1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces
are present. In addition to the unit you should have:
1 - Grill with Light Lens
4 - Mounting Rails
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2. Remove the two machine screws holding the light
reflector in place. Keep the reflector and screws in
the carton until needed so they do not get damaged
or lost.
(Figure 1)
.
3. Remove the wire compartment cover by loosening
the two screws holding the cover in place
(Figure 2)
WARNING:
DO NOT INSTALL OVER A TUB OR
MOUNT IN A SHOWER STALL ENCLOSURE.
4. Choose the location for your unit. To ensure the best
air and sound performance, it is recommended that
the length of ducting and the number of elbows be
kept to a minimum, and that insulated hard ducting
be used. Larger duct sizes will reduce noise and
airflow restrictions. This fan will require at least 7"
of clearance in the ceiling, and will mount through
drywall up to 3/4" thick. The fan can be mounted
directly to the joist using the mounting tabs on the
side of the housing or between
16" on center joists using the
4 provided mounting rails.
5. Remove the electrical
knockouts using a straight-
blade screw driver
