1. TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS
Installations may vary according to the model number and the position in which the unit is installed. Use the following illustrations as
guidelines to help you decide on how your unit will be installed.
All the units should be hung from the joists, and installed either vertically or horizontally.
NOTE: For more details, see Point 5.2 in Section 5 INSTALL THE UNIT.
In every case, bathroom fans and a range hood should be used to exhaust stale air. Also, for homes with more than one level, we
recommend one exhaust register at the highest level.
There are 3 installation methods: Stand Alone, Central Draw Point and Return-to-Return Installation.
NOTE: An electrical outlet has to be available within 3 feet of the unit.
