WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY

TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.

If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address

or telephone number listed in the warranty.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, disable the ventilator by cover-

ing the solar panel with cardboard or disconnecting the wires

from the motor terminals (note wire locations when disconnect-

ing).

3. Installation work must be done by a qualified person(s) in ac-

cordance with all applicable codes and standards, including

fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4. If removing an existing 120 VAC powered attic ventilator, use

only a qualified person(s) to remove any electrical wiring in

accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

5. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting

of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment

to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufac-

turer's guidelines and safety standards such as those published

by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the

American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Condition-

ing Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

6. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage

electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous

or explosive materials and vapors.

2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced

impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power

unit.

3. This unit has an unguarded impeller. Do not use in locations

readily accessible to people or animals.

4. This ventilator operates when the solar panel is exposed to sun

light. To reduce risk of injury while installing, servicing or clean-

ing unit, cover the solar panel with cardboard or disconnect the

wires from the motor terminals (note wire locations when dis-

connecting).

5. The recommended open air inlet for this ventilator is 2 square

feet. The best location for these air intake vents are under the

eaves with direct access to the attic. Failure to provide these

intakes could cause natural-draft gas appliances to backdraft.

6. Your attic fan installation will create a screened opening into

your attic space. During a heavy rain storm there could be a

light spray of rain into this attic space. This is a normal condition

with all attic ventilators and will not cause any damage to the

structure. We recommend that you do not store any valuable

articles directly under the fan opening in the roof.

7. This ventilator is intended for gable (side wall) installation. Broan

Models 345, 349, 350, 355, & 356 Roof Mount Ventilators are

available for roof applications.

8. This ventilator is suitable for use with Broan Model 433 Auto-

matic Shutter (purchase separately).

9. This ventilator includes a permanently lubricated motor. Do not

oil or disassemble.

10. The installation instructions contained in this document are only

a recommendation and individual professionals may have their

own methods of installation. If your roof has an existing war-

ranty, installation of this product by anyone other than those

who installed the roof may jeopardize any future warranty claim.

Please check with the original installer of your roof if this is a

concern.

11. When working with asphalt shingles in cold weather (below

F), take care to avoid damage to the shingle edges and cor-

ners.

12. For installations in climates where cold weather condensation

is not a concern, Broan Model CWT45 thermostat is available.

It disconnects power to the motor when the temperature drops

below 50

F. Power is applied to the motor when the temperature

reaches 61
