Installation may vary depending on how the previous bath fan was installed. Supplies necessary for the installation of your bath fan are not all included; however, most are available at your local home improvement or hardware store.
DIMENSIONS

WIRING
All wiring must be connected for full functionality. Do not use metal wall plate with switch.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

It is recommended to apply proper insulation around the fan to minimize heat loss and gain. This fan is designed to be installed using a 4-in. duct.
Using a rigid duct is recommended. Using a flexible duct, cut to size and/or fully extended is also acceptable. Ducting has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance.
Avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.
WARNING: Wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes. Turn off power before removing or installing connectors.
WARNING: COPPER TO COPPER ONLY. Do not use aluminum wire.
CAUTION: Accessory part (quick connector) should meet installation instructions below.

NOTE: The connector is reusable on solid wires of the same wire gauge or smaller. Do not reuse the connector on stranded wires.

• Strip wires 3/8 in. – 1/2 in.
• Grip the wire firmly and push the stripped end of the wire into the open port of the connector. Use only one conductor per port.
• Verify the stripped end of the wires is fully inserted to the back of the connector.

CAUTION: Wiring maximum temperature rating 221˚F (105˚C). 600V maximum for building wiring and 1,000V maximum for signs and light fixtures.
The acceptable wire range is 12-18 AWG Sol. Cu.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CFM rating on the fan matches the square footage of your room.
The damper is damaged or not working properly.| Check the damper to ensure it is opening and closing properly. If the damper has become damaged, please call Customer Service.
The bend in the duct is too close to the fan discharge.| Be sure you do not have any sharp bends in the duct within 18 in. of the fan discharge.
The fan discharge is reduced to fit a smaller duct.| Use the recommended size ducting to reduce fan noise.
The fan body is not attached securely.| Be sure the fan is securely attached to the ceiling joists.
The fan is not clearing humidity from the room.| There is insufficient airflow intake in the room.| Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar or open to allow airflow. The fan is not able to draw air out of the room without enough airflow.
There is insufficient CFM. NOTE: Using a tissue is not the correct method for determining if the fan is operating properly. If the fan clears steam from the room within approximately 15 minutes of completing your shower, then the fan is operating properly.| Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the square footage of your room.
