IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING
A few minutes planning can make a big difference to the installation time and to your satisfaction
with the function of the appliance.
1) This product is rated IPX2. It should not be installed directly above a shower or a bath where
it could come into contact with water.
2) For the exhaust fan to work efficiently, replacement air of a volume equivalent to what is being
extracted must be able to enter the room. In general, this air would be drawn under the door, or
through a slightly open window. If the room is airtight, the fan will function poorly.
3) This appliance is designed for installation in flat ceilings ONLY. Do not mount it on a sloping
ceiling or a vertical wall.
4) Before commencing any cutting, check that there are no obstructions such as ceiling joists
and that there is sufficient height clearance for the housing and routing of the duct. Check that
the electrical wiring can be routed from the wall switches to the mounting location.
5) Do not install above or adjacent to a cooking appliance.
Remove all packaging from the appliance before commencing installation. Ensure the circuit has
been isolated from the mains supply BEFORE commencing work.
1) Locate in accordance with the requirements of the wiring rules relating to damp situations.
Local council regulations concerning the discharge of air must also be fulfilled.
2) For installation where external venting is required or is your choice, locate a suitable location
in either the roof, under the eave or in an exterior side wall to vent out the exhausted air and cut
out the hole. Put one end of a Ø150mm flexible duct into the vent hole and seal space around
the hole using a suitable sealant and cowling where necessary. NOTE: Make sure the ducting will
reach from the external vent to the centre of installation of the exhaust fan.
