Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION: The equipment covered by these instructions should be installed and serviced
only by competent personnel utilizing proper safety practices and procedures. These
instructions are written for such personnel and are not intended as a substitute for adequate
training and experience in safe procedures for this type of equipment.
Warning: Disconnect the power at service panel before beginning this installation.
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do
not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings, or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
Acceptable for use over tub or shower when installed in a GFCI protected branch circuit.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state
speed control device.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock or injury to persons, observe the following:
a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions,
please contact the manufacturer.
b) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power to off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the
service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
c) Do not install this fan in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R-40
d) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified, competent, trained
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards using proper safety
practices, including fire-related construction.
e) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National
Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
f) When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, ALWAYS identify hidden electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities in advance, to avoid damage.
g) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
f) NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from the tub or shower.
Caution: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
Warning: Do not use in kitchens.
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 restriction.
Before beginning this installation remove the fan's venturi assembly,
which is secured in place with one screw through the venturi.
This is a captive screw and will stay installed in the venturi. Keep
the venturi assembly and grill/lens/light reflector assembly in
the carton until needed so they do not get damaged or lost.
Mounting the Housing
Select the best location to mount the housing in the ceiling. This fan will require at least
6" of clearance in the ceiling, and will mount through drywall up to 3/4" thick. The fan can
be mounted directly to the joist using the two mounting tabs on the sides of the housing
or between 16" on center joists using the 4 provided mounting rails. Before cutting or drilling
into any drywall, check the area from above to plan the unit's wiring and duct run. Remember
to keep the duct length and number of elbows to a minimum.
1. Determine the best location for the fan.
2. Select the most convenient electrical knockout and remove it.
3. If the unit is being mounted in existing construction, use the housing as a template to
mark the necessary space on the ceiling to cut out.
4. Locate the housing next to the joist and adjust the height so the housing is level with the finished
ceiling. If the unit is being installed in new construction, use the drywall thickness gauge to line
up the bottom of the joist with the appropriate drywall thickness indicated (fig. 1). Secure the
housing directly to the joist through the two holes and two keyhole slots provided.
5. If mounting the housing between joists install the side rails (fig. 2) on the housing. Position
the housing next to the joist and adjust the height so it is flush with the drywall. Secure the
ends of the slide rails to the joists – you can then move the housing into the final position.
