NEW CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE INSTALLATION

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

 Ensure the 

electricity to the wires you are working on is shut off.  

Either remove the fuse or turn off the circuit breaker 

before removing the existing bath fan or installing the 

new one.

 1.   Place the fan housing (A) next to a ceiling joist or wall stud. The 

fan housing (Å) should be level and perpendicular to the joist 

or stud. Allow for thickness of ceiling board or drywall used in 

your application. DO NOT flush mount to joist. Bottom of the 

fan housing should be flush with ceiling board or drywall.
