1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1.1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your new QuietCool system! The QuietCool whole house fans dominate the market in energy efficiency and quietness. Whole house fans operate by pulling the cool air from outside your home, through the home, into your attic, and out your attic vents. This accomplishes a cooling effect that can save you up to 90% off your A/C related energy costs depending on where you live.

2. INSTALLATION 2.1 Installing QuietCool NOTE: Be sure to plug in your fan before attempting to install to ensure that the fan is operational. If the fan is not operational, call the company that you purchased the fan from and request an exchange. Installing the QuietCool system is very easy. Simply follow the steps given below: 1. Determine from down below in which areas you would like to install your QuietCool fans. Go up into the attic to mark the exact location for each fan.
3. From below, place the cut-out template on the ceiling at each location, making sure that you have at least 2 inches of clearance all around it. While holding the template in place, mark its outline with a pencil. NOTE: Repeat these steps at each location. 4. Using a drywall saw or similar device, cut out the hole in the ceiling. NOTE: Repeat these steps at each location. 5. Open and unpack each QuietCool fan.
6. Hang the motor head from the rafters by fastening the metal strapping that is attached to the motor head to the rafters with the wood screws. Make sure the power box on the moter head is at the very top. Secure duct to damper box using three black sharp screws. Make sure the duct has a gentle 90 degree bend to help reduce noise level. NOTE: Once all of the QuietCool fans are hung, it’s time to go below and install the ceiling box and ceiling grill at each intake location. 7.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the fan blade spins freely. This is very important to system operation NOTE: Local building codes and standards must be adhered to in the installation of this unit. AVOID BACK DRAFTS: Care should be taken to avoid back drafting combustion appliances that are installed in the conditioned space. It is strongly recommended that combustion appliances NOT be installed in such a manner that they use room air for combustion.

4. SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 When to Run the QuietCool Whole House Fans Anytime it is cooler outside than the inside of your home, the system will work effectively. In the summer this normally happens in the late afternoon to early evening, through to the next morning. We recommend running your fan through the evening. If you have a multi-speed fan, you will get the best cooling effect when you turn the fan on low after desired cooling occurs and let it run throughout the night. 4.
