Broan-NuTone - Ducting

  1. COOKING AREA
    Do not install above or inside this area.

  2. NOT FOR USE IN A COOKING AREA.

  3. Cooking Equipment

  4. Floor

IMPORTANT – The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air fl ow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and 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 airflow.
