ELECTRICAL WIRING

Your exhaust fan offers 2 wiring possibilities either using a standard wall switch (SPST) or a 2 
position selector switch.

WARNING
A)  Before installing, switch off the appropriate circuit breaker in the electrical service panel.
B) Installation must comply with local and national electrical codes. 
C) Must be installed by a certified electrician.
D) Unit must be properly grounded.

STANDARD WALL SWITCH (SPST)
The standard wall switch enables you to control the fan and the heat lamp at the same time.
1-  Unscrew and remove the wiring compartment cover and pry out one of the knock-outs. The 

cable clamp (included) must be inserted through the knock-out hole. (Fig. 7.1)

2-  Using the cable clamp, run a cable from the wall switch (not included) into the fan wiring 

compartment

3-  Using connectors, attach green wires coming from the fan and the heat lamp to the bare 

wire (ground) coming from the wall switch.

4-  Using connectors, attach the fan and the heat lamp wires located inside the fan wiring com-

partment to the matching wires coming from the wall switch; black to black (hot); white to 
white (neutral). (Fig. 7.2) 

5-  Replace the wiring compartment cover and secure it.

DOUBLE SWITCH

A double switch (not included) allows independent control of the fan and the heat 
lamp.
For double switch wiring, please refer to the switch installation guide.

CONNECTING THE DUCTWORK

 
Connect the duct to the adaptor and secure the junction with duct tape or a duct clamp (not 
included). Slant the duct away from the fan to avoid condensation running back into the fan 
housing. For attic installations, we recommend the use of insulated ducts to reduce condensa-
tion.

IMPORTANT
•  Ductwork must comply with local building codes.
•   Ductwork from the fan should always vent to the outdoors through either an exterior wall or 

roof.

•   To maximize airflow, keep duct length and the use of elbows to a minimum.

FINISHED CEILING OPENING

 
The opening within the finished ceiling must reflect the shape and size of the fan housing. This 
is done to facilitate removal of the fan should repairs or replacement be necessary.

GRILLE INSTALLATION

 
To install the grille, hook one 
of the two spring clips to its 
respective hook located in the 
fan housing.

 
Hook the second spring 
clip with the opposite hook 
located on the opposite 
side of the fan housing
