Installation Instructions
1. Select a suitable position for the fan that keeps the duct as short and as straight as possible
(ideally on the ceiling or on a wall within 400mm of the ceiling).
2. Cut a hole in the wall to suit the outside diameter of the ducting or wall-liner. Install the duct or
wall-liner taking care to seal at both ends between it and the wall using proprietary waterproof
mastic. If required, connect further ducting to the wall-liner to a maximum of 6m, sealing
between each joint or fitting.
3. Remove the front cover of the fan by unscrewing the two screws on the outside of the unit
and lifting the cover off.
4. Locate the fan body into the wall-liner/duct and mark the four retaining screw positions. Fit
screw anchors suitable for the wall construction.
5. Install the fan taking care to pass the supply cable through the cable entry point in the fan
body moulding.
6. Complete the wiring by following the relevant wiring diagram on the following page.
7. Replace the front cover onto the fan body and secure with the two screws removed earlier.
