Clean grille. (Don’t put into hot water. Use non-abrasive kitchen detergent, wipe dry with clean cloth).
Remove dust and dirt from fan body using a vacuum cleaner.
Warning Concerning Removal of Covers. The unit should be serviced by qualified technicians only. Your product is
designed and manufactured to ensure a minimum of maintenance. Should your unit require service or parts, call
Panasonic Call Center at 1-866-292-7299 (USA).
Properly insulate the area around the fan to minimize
building heat loss and gain. Loose fill or batt insulation
can be placed directly over the fan housing in the
attic. Panasonic fans do not create excessive heat
which is a common problem with recessed light
fixtures and some competitor’s fan/light combination.
Our efficient, cool-running motors do not create
enough ambient heat to be subjected to these
limitations. The ducting from this fan to the outside of
the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise
and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest
duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid
installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended.
Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss
and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.
