ceiling or on a wall within 400mm of the ceiling).
2. Cut a hole in the wall to suit the outside diameter of the ducting or wall-liner. Install the duct or wall-liner taking
care to seal at both ends between it and the wall using proprietary waterproof mastic. If required, connect further
ducting to the wall-liner, sealing between each joint or fitting.
3. Remove the front cover of the fan by pulling straight off the fan body (Diagram 1).
