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 the unit, switch the power off at
the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to
prevent thepower 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 Interruptor)-protected branch
circuit.
8.
This ventilation fan is intended to be installed at least
3 ft. 3-1/4 in. (1 m) from the showerhead when installing over
a bathtub or shower. Installation within a shower stall is not
recommended for this unit, unless the 3 ft. 3-1/4 in. (1 m)
distance can be met.
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building
Roof cap
has a strong effect on the airflow, noise and energy use
(with built-in
of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing
damper)
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
to duct
may not achieve their rated airflow.
