WARNING

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

1. Use this unit in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, please call customer service.
2. 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.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and local code authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and be connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) – protected branch circuit.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
2. Not for use in cooking areas.
3. To reduce the risk of injury to persons, install the fan at least 8.2 feet (2.5m) above the floor.

NEW CONSTRUCTION ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE INSTALLATION – Turn off power source. Review all safety precautions.

1. Attach the duct connector (C) to the fan housing (A).
2. Remove the wiring box cover (2.1) from the fan housing (A). Remove the wiring knockout (2.2) from the wiring box cover (2.1) with a flathead screwdriver (not included).
3. Place the fan housing (A) next to a ceiling joist. The fan housing should be level and perpendicular to the joist.
4. Mount the fan housing (A) to the ceiling joist using wood screws (4.1) (not included) where indicated.
5. Pull the house wires through the wire box cover hole. 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.
   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.
   
6. Install a circular 4 in. duct (6.1) (not included) and secure it with duct tape or clamps (neither included). Finish ceiling work. The ceiling hole should be aligned with the edge of the fan housing (A).
7. For the LED light connection, plug in the connector (7.1) from the grille (B) into the fan housing (A) as shown. Pinch the mounting springs (7.2) on the grille (B) and insert them into the narrow rectangular slots (7.3) inside the fan housing (A). Push the grille (B) up toward the ceiling.

EXISTING CONSTRUCTION ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE INSTALLATION – Turn off power source. Review all safety precautions. Remove old fan.

1. Measure the opening to ensure it is large enough to accommodate the new fan housing (A) (7.5 in. x 7.25 in.). If this fan is not replacing an old fan, be sure to cut a 7.5 in. x 7.25 in. opening for the fan housing (A).
   MAKE SURE THE 7.25 IN. SIDE OF THE OPENING IS FLUSH WITH THE JOIST FOR INSTALLATION FROM BELOW.
2. Attach the duct connector (C) to the fan housing (A).
3. Remove the three screws (3.1) that hold the motor assembly (3.2) in place. Remove the fan motor
   assembly (3.2) from the fan housing (A). Unplug the fan power unit (3.3).
4. Remove the wiring box cover (4.1) from the fan housing (A). Remove the wiring knockout (4.2) from the wiring box cover (4.1) with a flathead screwdriver (not included).
5. Pull the house wires through the wire box cover hole. 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.
   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.
6. Install a circular 4 in. duct (6.1) (not included) and secure it with duct tape or clamps (neither included). Finish ceiling work. The ceiling hole should be aligned with the edge of the fan housing (A).
