SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to
assemble, operate or install the product.
- Always disconnect the power supply prior to servicing the fan, motor or junction box.
- Installation work must be carried out by a qualified person(s) in accordance to all local and safety codes including the rules for fire-rated construction.
- Follow all local building, safety and electrical codes, as well as NEC (National Electrical Code) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act).
- Electric service supply must be 120 volts, 60HZz.
- This unit must be properly grounded.
- Do not bend or kink the power wires.
- Exercise care to not damage existing wiring when cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings.
- Sufficient air supply is required for proper combustion and the exhaustion of gases through the chimney (flue) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back-drafting. See the standards of NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ASHRAE (American Society for Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) and the local building code authorities.
- Donotuse this fan with any solid state control device. Such as a remote control, dimmer switch, or certain timers. Mechanical timers are not solid state devices.
- This ventilation fan is approved for use over a bathtub or shower when installed in a GFCI protected circuit. Do not use fans over a bathtub or shower that are not approved for that application and marked accordingly.

- Fans should always be vented to the exterior and in compliance with local codes.
- Do not install in a ceiling with insulation greater than R40.
- Duct work should be installed in a straight line with minimal bends.
- Duct work size must be the same size as the discharge and should not be reduced. Reducing the duct size, may increase fan noise.
- Prior to servicing or cleaning this unit, shut off power supply at the panel and lock to prevent the power from being turned on. If the panel cannot be locked, clearly mark the panel with a warning tag to prevent the power from being turned on.
- Use this unit in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, please call the manufacturer (customer service number located on first page).

PREPARATION
WARNING: Turn off electricity at breaker box before beginning
installation.
Carefully remove unit from carton.
Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare
parts with package contents list and hardware contents. If any part is missing
or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.
Check area above installation location to be sure that wiring can run to the
planned location and that duct work can be run and the area is sufficient for
proper ventilation.
Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation.
Before installation, provide inspection and future maintenance access at a
location that will not interfere with installation work.
Do not attempt to install this fan in a wall or vaulted ceiling. This fan is
for standard horizontal ceiling installation only.
You may need the help of a second person to install this fan: one person on
the attic side and one on the room side.
Tools required for assembly (not included): Electric Drill, Drill Bits,
Phillips Screwdriver, Utility Knife Other supplies you will need (not

instructions below.
NOTE: The connector is reusable on solid wires of the same wire gage 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.
NOTE: Important wire information. Maximum temperature rating 221°F
(105°C). 600 volts maximum for building wire and 1,000 volts maximum for
building wire and 1,000 volts maximum in signs and lighting fixtures.

NEW CONSTRUCTION ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
NEW CONSTRUCTION — ATTACHING TO THE JOIST
BEFORE INSTALLATION -— Turn off power source. Review all safety precautions.
-
Place the fan housing (A) next to a ceiling joist or wall stud (1.1). The fan housing (A) should be level and perpendicular to the joist or wall stud (1.1). Allow for thickness of ceiling board (1.2) used in your application. DO NOT flush mount to joist or wall stud (1.1). Bottom of fan housing (A) should be flush with the ceiling board (1.2).
-
Mount the fan housing (A) to joist using the long wood screws (AA) on both sides.
Hardware Used -
Attach the adaptor B to the housing A
-
Remove wiring box cover (4.1). Pull the house wires through the wire box cover hole. Using a quick connector, secure 120 V AC house wiring from the wall switch to the fan as shown in the wiring diagram on page 5. 14 AWG is the smallest conductor that should be used for branch-circuit wiring.
Carefully push the connected wires back into the wiring box housing. Reattach the wiring box cover (4.1).
CAUTION: If the electrical wires do not match the colors listed, you must determine what each house wire represents before connecting. You may need to consult an electrical contractor to determine safely.

TROUBLESHOOTING
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
|---|---|---|
| The fan seems louder than it should | CFM too great | Be sure the CFM rating on |
the fan matches the size of your room
Damper not working properly or damaged| Check damper to ensure it is opening
and closing properly. If the damper has become damaged, please call Customer
Service
Bend in duct too close to fan discharge| Be sure you do not have any sharp
bends in duct closer than 18 in. to the fan discharge
Fan discharge reduced to fit smaller duct| Use recommended size ducting to
reduce fan noise
Fan housing not securely attached| Be sure the fan is securely attached to
your ceiling joists
The fan is not clearing the room| Insufficient intake airflow within room| Be
sure a door or window is slightly ajar or opened to allow airflow. The fan is
not able to draw air out of the room without enough airflow to draw from
Insufficient CFM| Be sure the CFM rating on the fan matches the requirements
for your room size
NOTE: Using a tissue is not an accurate 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.
