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

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
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.
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-related construction codes and standards.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
DO NOT CREATE AN OPENING IN A FIRERATED WALL TO INSTALL THIS FAN. It is not an exhaust fan, rather it is intended to direct air from one room to another.
This unit must be grounded.

CAUTION

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust etc. off power unit.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

This unit mounts between walls 3 to 5 1/2” thick. Housing can be fastened to walls in several ways. Mounting flanges can be nailed to wall studs through small holes in mounting flanges or fastened to wallboard using hollow wall fasteners. Large sleeve screws also clamp housing halves to walls for secure installation. Housing sleeves should always be tied together with two black sheet metal screws provided in parts bag.
Before installing fan, determine desired air flow direction. Air flows through fan in the same direction as the speed control knob points (FIG. 1).

PREPARE INSTALLATION LOCATION

Cut an 11 5/8” opening through both interior walls. Holes in both walls MUST line up (FIG. 2).

PREPARE FAN

Pull fan halves apart. Remove wiring box cover\ (FIG. 3).
Remove electrical knockout on side or bottom of motor housing (FIG. 3).
Install sleeve fasteners. Measure wall thickness through holes cut in wall. If walls are 3 1/2” thick or less, install sleeve fasteners in Position 1 as shown in Figure 4. If wall is thicker than 3 1/2” install fasteners in Position 2 as shown in Figure.
Brackets slide into place.

INSTALL FAN

Run electrical wiring to installation opening. Fasten wiring to motor housing. Use proper connector for type of wire used.
Slide motor housing into opening (FIG. 5).
Make electrical connections as shown in Figure 6. Ground fan using green ground screw provided. Replace wiring box cover.
Slide grille housing into opening. Test fit grille housing and remove knockout sections on housing to fit around electrical wiring (FIG. 7).
Fasten housing halves together with long sleeve screws and sleeve fasteners. Tie sleeves together with two black sheet metal screws provided in plastic parts bag (FIG. 8).
Plug in motor, turn on power and check operation of fan. Install grilles with grille screws provided. Long grille screws are used on grille housing. Install speed control knob.

USE AND CARE

The rotary switch turns the fan ON and OFF and controls its speed. Rotate knob CLOCKWISE to turn fan ON to HIGH speed. Further CLOCKWISE rotation decreases fan speed. Rotate knob fully COUNTERCLOCKWISE (past HIGH speed) to turn fan OFF. Do not turn on the fan when starting a fire in a fireplace or wood stove until the damper is thoroughly warm and fully open. Turning the fan on too soon may draw smoke and flue gases into the room. Wait until the fire is well establised. Always unplug the fan motor before servicing the fan. The motor bearings are permanently lubricated and will never need oiling. Clean the fan blade every six months by removing the grilles, loosening the mounting bracket screws, and removing the motor assembly. Gently vacuum the blade, motor and housing. Clean grilles in warm, soapy water. Use a mild detergent such as a dishwashing liquid. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTHS, STEEL WOOL PADS, SCOURING POWDERS, ETC. DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING FAN!
