SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

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

FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, please call

customer service.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service

to the service panel.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualied person(s) in accordance with all

applicable codes and standards, including re-rated construction.

4. Sufcient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the ue (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 local code authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden

utilities.

6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

7. 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.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

2. Not for use in cooking areas.

3. To reduce the risk of injury to persons, install the fan at least 8.2 feet (2.5m) above the oor.

Bend in duct too close to fan discharge

Be sure you do not have any sharp

bends in duct closer than 18 in. to the

fan discharge

Fan discharge reduced to t smaller

duct

Use recommended size ducting to

reduce fan noise

Fan body not securely attached

Be sure the fan is securely attached

to your ceiling joists

The fan is not

clearing the room

Insufcient intake airow within room

Be sure a door or window is slightly

ajar or opened to allow airow. The
