SECTION 1
Preparing the Exhaust Fan
1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to the
exhaust fan you should have:
1 - Grill with Light Lens
4 - Mounting Rails
2 - 2 Function Switches
1 - Quad Wall Plate
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2. Remove the two machine screws holding the light reflector in place. Keep the reflector
and screws in the carton until needed so they do not get damaged or lost
(Figure 1).
3. Remove the wire compartment cover by loosening the two screws holding the cover in
place
(Figure 2).
WARNING:
DO NOT INSTALL OVER A TUB OR MOUNT IN A SHOWER STALL
ENCLOSURE.
4. Choose the location for your unit. To ensure the best
air and sound performance, it is recommended that
the length of ducting and the number of elbows be
kept to a minimum, and that insulated hard ducting be
used. Larger duct sizes will reduce noise and airflow
restrictions. This fan will require at least 7" of clearance
in the ceiling, and will mount through drywall up to 3/4"
thick. The fan can be mounted directly to the joist using
the mounting tabs on the side of the housing or between
16" on center joists using the 4 provided mounting rails.
5. Remove the electrical knockouts using a straight-blade
screw driver
(Figure 3)
