Safety Information
1.) WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
b) 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 Association (NFPA), the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and
other hidden utilities.
d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
e) If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as
appropriate for the application and be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) - protected branch circuit.
2.) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have
questions, contact the manufacturer.
3.) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power 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.
4.) This ventilation fan is approved for use over a bathtub or shower when installed
in a GFCI protected circuit. Do not use unapproved fans over a bathtub or shower
that are not approved for that application.
5.) Install ductwork in a straight line with minimal bends.
6.) Use 120 V, 60 Hz for the electrical supply and properly ground the unit. Follow
all local safety and electrical codes.
7.) Do not use this fan with any solid-state control device; such as a dimmer switch.
Solid-state controls may cause harmonic distortion, which can cause a motor
humming noise, as well as increase risk of fire or electric shock.
8.) To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not block air entry shield.
9.) Mount with the lowest moving parts at least 8.2 ft above floor or grade level.
10.) Never place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
11.) Type IC for use in direct contact with thermal insulation not to exceed R-50.
12.) Not for use in kitchens.
13.) This product must properly connect to the grounding conductor of the supply
circuit.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards, such
as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
WARNING: Not suitable for use as a range hood.
CAUTION: For General Ventilating Use Only - Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous
Or Explosive Materials And Vapors.
CAUTION: Do not install in locations where the temperature will exceed 104°F
(40°C).
IMPORTANT: Exercise care to not damage existing wiring when cutting or drilling
into walls or ceilings.
NOTE: Make sure duct work size is a minimum of the discharge. Do not reduce.
Reducing the duct size can increase fan noise.
IMPORTANT: You may want to consult with a qualified licensed electrician
regarding the wiring of your ventilation fan.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, please disconnect the electrical
supply circuit before servicing.
CAUTION: This product must be properly grounded.

(1) Place the provided drywall cutout template on ceiling where you wish the fan to
be (damper and electrical positions shown on template). We suggest using
painter’s masking tape to hold the template in place while cutting. If there is a
pre-existing fan opening, use aligning windows to find it’s edges. Either cut through
the provided guide slots in the template, or mark your cut lines with a pencil and
remove the template. Use a drywall jab saw to cut your fan opening in the ceiling.
Roomside Installation
Select a set of holding tabs, depending on the thickness of your drywall. In the
ceiling, 5/8 inch drywall is the most common.
