ALL INSTALLATIONS

IMPORTANT - The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building
has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the
shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid
installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around
the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed
with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airflow.
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, switch power off at service panel and lock
the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched

panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s)
in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction codes and standards.
4. 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 manufacturer’s guideline and
safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
