Safety Information
1. 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 does not
include a GFCI protected circuit.
2. Installation work must be carried out by a qualified person(s)
in accordance with all local and safety codes including the
rules for fire-rated construction.
3. To reduce the risk of fire, always vent fans to the exterior
and in compliance with local codes. Do not vent exhaust air
into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or
garages.
4. Install ductwork in a straight line with minimal bends.
5. Use 120 V, 60 Hz for the electrical supply and properly
ground the unit. Follow all local safety and electrical codes.
6. 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.
7. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons,
observe the following:
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power
off at the 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.
8. 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), and 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 or in
areas where hazardous or explosive vapors are present.
WARNING: FOR USE IN NON FIRE-RELATED
INSTALLATIONS ONLY.
WARNING: FOR USE IN ONE-AND-TWO FAMILY
DWELLINGS ONLY
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
CAUTION: Do not install in locations where the air
temperature will exceed 104°F (40°C).
CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to
exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
IMPORTANT: You may want to consult with a
professional electrician regarding the wiring of your
ventilation fan.
IMPORTANT: Exercise care to not damage existing
wiring when cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings.
NOTE: Make sure the duct work size is a minimum of the
discharge. Do not reduce. Reducing the duct size can
increase fan noise.
NOTE: Proper installation of insulation around and over
fan body to minimize building heat loss and gain.

Pre-installation
PLANNING INSTALLATION
When installing the ventilation fan in a new construction site, install the main body of the fan and duct work during the roughin
construction of the building. The grill should be installed after the finished ceiling is in place.
When installing in existing construction, use the dimensions on page 12 to determine the required hole size for the ceiling. The grill edges
should overlap the finished ceiling.
NOTE: If installing in existing construction, you must
have access to space above and below the installation
location.
This unit will operate most quietly and efficiently when located where the shortest possible duct run and minimum number of elbows will be
needed.
Do not install the ventilation fan in areas where the duct work will require configurations as shown in the following figure:
4
Pre-installation (continued)
INSTALLATION OPTIONS
We recommend installing the ventilation fan by securing the main body of the fan against one ceiling joist and using the header bars as
necessary for support of the adjoining joist.
There are multiple installation configurations possible for this ventilation fan. Not all configurations are shown. If your installation requires a
variation other than those shown, consult with a licensed contractor to determine the best installation for your project. If you are replacing
an existing fan, ensure that the new grill will adequately cover the existing opening.
