OPERATION

See “CONNECT ELECTRICAL WIRING” for details.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION

  1. Do not use in a cooking area.
  2. Two ways to connect ductwork to a factory-shipped unit.

TYPES OF TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

  1. Housing mounted to I-joists (Start at “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1”)
  2. Housing mounted to joists (Start at “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1” )
  3. Housing mounted to truss (Start at step “ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 2”)

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

  1. MOUNT HOUSING TO JOIST OR I-JOIST.
    • Hold the housing so that it is in contact with the bottom of the joist.
    • Attach the housing with four (4) screws to the joist through the holes in each mounting flange.
  2. Mount with mountion holes and hanger bar
    • Slide one hanger bar into the channel on the housing and adjust as needed to fit between framing.
    • Hold housing in place so that the housing contact the bottom of the joist, Screw housing to joist through the hole of the housing .
    •  Screw the hanger bar onto the other side of joist through the hole.
    • Screw hanger bar to housing with screw.
    • Refer to the right diagram.
  3. Mount to I-joist
    • Slide one hanger bar into channel on the housing and adjust as needed.
    • Hold housing in place so that the housing contacts the bottom of the joist.
    • Screw housing to joist through the hole of the housing.
    • Screw the hanger bar onto the joist through the hole.
    • Screw hanger bar to housing with screw .
  4. Install DUCT AND BLOWER ASSEMBLY
    • Install duct from the inside of the housing;Fix the duct by the tab.
    • Fix the BLOWER ASSEMBLY to the housing by 3 screws.
  5. INSTALL ROUND DUCTWORK
    • Connect the round ductwork (not included) to the damper/duct connector, and run the ductwork to a roof or wall cap (not included).
    • Using tape (not included), secure all the ductwork connections so that they are air tight.
    • Insulated flexible duct is recommended for the quietest possible installation. If rigid duct is used, a short (1-3 feet) section of insulated flexible duct will ensure quiet operation.
      The ducting from this fan to the outside of 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 air flow.

CONNECT ELECTRICAL WIRING

Run 120 V AC house wiring to the location of the fan. Use only UL-approved connectors (not included) to attach the house wiring to the wiring plate. Refer to the wiring diagram, and connect the wires as shown.

INSTALL GRILLE

  • Install ceiling material to complete the ceiling construction and cut around the fan housing.
  • To attach the grille assembly to the fan housing, pinch the grille springs on the sides of the grille assembly and position the grille into the housing with the grille springs in the appropriate slots. Push the grille assembly towards the ceiling to secure.
