instructions are written for such personnel and are not intended as a substitute for adequate
training and experience in safe procedures for this type of equipment.
To ensure the best air and sound performance, it is recommended that the length of ducting
and the number of elbows be kept to a minimum, and that insulated hard ducting be used.
Larger duct sizes will reduce noise and airflow restriction.
Warning: Disconnect the power at service panel before beginning this installation.
Before beginning this installation remove the fan’s
blower housing (which includes the motor, blade, bracket
and motor plate) assembly by removing the screw which
secures the motor plate housing to the fan housing
(Fig. 1). Place this assembly and the grill in the carton
until needed so they do not get damaged.

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.
1. Insert the hanging brackets in the slots provided in
the housing.
2. Select the most convenient electrical knockout
and remove it, then locate the fan housing between
joists so that the bottom of the fan housing is level
with the planned finished ceiling.
c) Do not install this fan in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R-40
3. Use screws or nails (not provided) to secure the
hanger bars to the ceiling joists.

Mounting the Housing: Existing Construction
e) 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 Agency (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
f) When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, ALWAYS identify hidden electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities in advance, to avoid damage.
1. Determine the desired location for the fan.
2. Drill asmall hole through the ceiling at the chosen location. Stick the end of a coat hanger
through the hole into the attic to help locate the spot in the attic.
3. Check the chosen area from above to make sure that the wiring can be installed and that
the installation will not interfere with any existing wiring. Then select the most convenient
electrical knockout and remove it.
g) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
h) NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from the tub or shower.
4. From above, position the housing between ceiling joists, and use the housing as a template
