ADAPTOR REMOVAL

 
Since the complete assembly (housing and adaptor) cannot fit through the cut-out opening, you will need to remove the adaptor from 
the housing as follows.

 
Disconnect electrical plug from 
the receptacle.

 
Remove and keep the 3 screws 
securing the adaptor to the 
housing. You will need them 
later on.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

 

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. 

 

1-  Remove 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 the green wire coming from the fan to the bare wire (ground) 

coming from the wall switch.

4-  Using connectors, attach the fan wires located inside the fan wiring compartment to the 

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

5- Replace wiring compartment cover.

CONNECTING THE DUCT WORK

 
Connect the duct to the adaptor and secure the junction with duct tape and a duct clamp. 
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 condensation.

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.
