Safety Warnings

• Read all instructions and safety information. Review the assembly diagrams provided before installing your new exhaust fan. All electrical work must only be undertaken after disconnection of the power by removing fuses or turning off the circuit breaker, to ensure all pole disconnection from the electrical supply. All electrical work must be carried out by a licensed and qualified electrician and under AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules and applicable local authority regulations.

• This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the product
  by a person responsible for their safety. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Do not cut
  or notch joists, beams, and rafters to install the appliance. Do not damage hidden electrical wiring or utilities when making the ceiling cut. The product must be installed so that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower.

• Do not install the product directly above the shower, bath enclosures, or a location where water will splash onto it. Check and confirm after the product is completely installed that all connections are proper and secure to prevent the product from falling, causing property damages or injury. Do not probe through the fascia opening. Do not install or use the appliance outdoors where it could be exposed to water or moisture (indoor use only). It is necessary to allow the disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation. The disconnection may be achieved by having the plug accessible
  or by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.

• Ensure that the fan is switched off from the supply mains before removing the guard.

Installation

• For correct installation please follow the steps provided on the packaging. The following points should also be noted for installation. Any electrical wiring MUST be carried out by a licensed electrician.
• Do not restrict the airflow by installing ducting that at some point has a restricted diameter. Any ducting in use must be less than 1 meter and be no smaller than the diameter of the fan blades to achieve the required performance.
• Do not install the fan in restricted spaces where air movement is limited such as canopies as it must have free air.
• If mounting in kitchens above or near hot plates, it must be at least 120cm above the surface and also have an additional 50cm clear space above the fan blades.
• Mount the fan to ensure there are no hidden obstructions above the desired position and ensure the location provides adequate ventilation.
• Mark the cutout position on the ceiling using the template from the box.
• Cut out the hole for the fan frame using the appropriate method.
• With the grille removed, make the electrical connections and insert the frame into the hole.
• Rotate the clamps and secure the frame into position using the mounting screws.
• Ensure the fan blade is moving freely and the cables are clear and not likely to interfere with the fan’s function.
• Fit the grille to the fan frame assembly.

This product must be installed indoors in places that require circulated airflow and room illumination such as bathrooms, ensuites, and laundries. The product must be horizontally mounted on a ceiling and not on a wall or a raked ceiling. The product should not be installed directly above the shower cubicle or bath enclosure. The product should not be installed in a location where there is a possibility of water splashing onto the switch being touched by a person in the bath or shower. Air must be allowed to enter the room being ventilated. This can be done by increasing the gap under the door, installing door grilles, or opening windows. It is impossible to exhaust more air from a room than is allowed to enter it. The product should be positioned to ensure ventilation air traversing the room provides ventilation to all areas. Avoid positioning the product too close to windows or doors as such positioning cuts short the airflow path and does not provide proper ventilation. Ensure air is ventilated to the outside through ductwork. Exhaust fans may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to the backflow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After the installation of an exhaust fan such as a partition fan or a duct fan, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that the backflow of combustion gases does not occur. It is recommended that the air outlet points toward an outer wall and that the ductwork interconnecting the air outlet and the external grille (not supplied) be laid in a straight fashion. If it is desirable for ductwork (not supplied) to run across any timber structures such as rafter, stud, or joist, ensure the closest structure is not within 300mm of the air outlet. Ensure the air outlet of the product is not directed to or close to a rafter or stud allowing the draft stopper on the outlet to fully open when the fan is turned on. The product should be placed within 90cm of a pre-wired socket allowing power cable to be connected. Ensure there is at least 2.3 meters between the fascia and the floor. Ensure there is the following clearance above the ceiling for installation.
