IMPORTANT
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building 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, 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.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
