INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
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
1 - Damper Assembly (attached)
4 - Mounting Rails
1 - Fluorescent Lamp
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2. Choose the location for your fan. 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 8
"
of
clearance in the ceiling or wall, and will mount
through drywall up to 3/4
"
thick. The fan mounts
between 16
"
or 24
"
on center joists using the 4
provided mounting rails.
3. Select the most convenient electrical knockout
and remove using a straight-blade screw driver
(Figure 1).
SECTION 2
New Construction
1. Install the rails on the housing and position the housing next to the joist. Line up
housing so that it will be flush with the finished ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails
with screws or nails (not included) to the joists and slide the housing into the final
position
(Figure 2).
SECTION 3
Existing Construction
1. Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline onto the ceiling
material
(Figure 3)
. Set housing aside and cut opening, being careful not to cut or
damage any electrical or other hidden utilities. Install the rails on the housing and
position the housing in the previously cut hole so that it is flush with the finished
ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails to the joists
(Figure 2).

Ducting
CAUTION:
ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL

SECTION 5
Wiring
CAUTION:

SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
NOTE:
This unit includes a side access panel for wiring that does not require the
removal of the fan’s blower assembly. If you choose to wire the unit from the inside,
you will need to remove the blower assembly and internal wiring compartment. Both
methods are equally effective.
