IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Fans are UL/CUL Listed, Standard 507.

1. Do not depend on any switch as the sole means of disconnecting power when installing or servicing the fan.
2. Always disconnect, lock-out, and tag-out power source before installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power source can result in fire, shock, or serious injury.
3. Motor will restart without warning after thermal protector trips. Do not touch operating motor; it may be hot enough to cause injury.
4. Do not place body parts or objects in fan or motor openings while motor is connected to the power source.
5. All electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician.
6. CAUTION – For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive Materials And Vapors.
7. Follow all local and state/provincial electrical and safety codes in the United States and Canada, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in the United States, and the Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada.
8. Always disconnect power source before working on or near a motor or its connected load.
9. Protect the power cable from coming in contact with sharp objects.
10. Do not kink or create tight bends in the power cable and never allow the cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.
11. Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of your specific exhaust fan model. The fan frame and motor must be electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground, such as a grounded water pipe or ground wire system.
12. Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
13. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and similar danger locations.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING ­- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
b) 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.
c) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
d) 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.
e) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

1. The unit should be only securely mounted on the wooden plank.
NOTE: Allowing the fan frame to flex or move will result in excess vibrations, which may cause possible premature motor, propeller, or shutter failure.
2. Install the shutter fan through 8 holes with screws. (Screws are not included.)

Performance

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Keep the area free of objects that could impede air flow on both the intake and exhaust side of fan.
2. For proper exhaust operation, a window, door, or louver should be opened for fresh air intake on the opposite side of the area to be ventilated.
3. Connect power plug to any standard 115-volt AC outlet. Caution: Make sure the Speed Control is in the OFF position.
4. Use the pull chain switch to select the desired operating speed. The speed runs as HIGH—MID—LOW— OFF.
5. Press the Thermostat Switch on, select a thermostat setting. Ambient temperature is regulated by adjusting the thermostat to a desired position. To set, allow the unit to operate and cool down the room. When the desired temperature is reached, turn the control knob just until the fan turns off. This is your ideal setting. The fan will start automatically when the room temperature raise above this set point, and will turn off when the set point is reached.
