ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The

s

 require a 120 volt, uninterrupted power supply. These specifications must be taken into 

account when allocating power from existing circuits. We strongly recommend providing a dedicated circuit.
This Circuit MUST be Ground Tested. This can be done easily using a receptacle tester available at most 
hardware stores.

This fan has a factory-installed, 10 ft. power cord. Consider this length when choosing a location for this fan. 
Depending on the location of  existing outlets in the attic, the installation of  an additional outlet may be required.

All wiring and connections must be made according to this manual and acceptable wiring standards. All local

fan’s damper in the ceiling in a horizontal orientation, keeping in mind that locating the fan as high as possible 
helps exhaust the hottest indoor air from the home. The
