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 - 26 Watt 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
