WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER TO OUTLET YOU ARE TAP-
PING INTO BEFORE MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
5. Feed electrical cable to switch and fan. Feed cable through wall opening on
“inlet” side of fan and into fan housing. (FIG. 3)
6. Remove knockout on wiring box. Fasten electrical cable to wiring box with proper
connector for type of wire used. Provide 6” leads inside box for electrical con-
nections.
7. Make electrical connections. Connect black to black, white to white, and bare or
green wire to box using green ground screw. (FIG. 3)
8. Position fan housing in wall. Install wiring box and cover. Plug the fan motor into
receptacle on wiring box cover.
9. Hold fan housing in wall, and drill two 3/16” pilot holes through center of two
slots in mounting flange. (FIG. 4) Use slots in flange which line up with mounting
bracket openings in fan housing.
10.Install mounting brackets from inside of fan housing and pull them tightly against
back of wall. Make sure tab on bracket is engaged in fan housing. (FIG. 2)
11. Insert screws through mounting flange and tighten mounting brackets firmly
against wall.
12.For walls less than 4–1/2” thick, frame out fan housing so that housing is re-
cessed 1/8” - 1/4”. (FIG. 5)
If fan housing is not flush with edge of wall material, lay a thin bead of plaster or
patching compound along edge of housing to fill gap between housing and wall.
(FIG. 6)

USE AND CARE
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING FAN.
Do not turn on the fan when starting a fire in a fireplace or wood stove until the
damper is thoroughly warm and fully open. Turning the fan on too soon may draw
smoke and flue gases into the room. Wait until the fire is well established.
Always unplug the fan motor before servicing the fan. The motor bearings on this
fan are lifetime lubricated and will never need oiling.
Clean the fan blade and motor every six months by removing the grille, unplugging
the motor, and gently vacuuming the fan blade and motor.
Clean the grille in warm, soapy water. Use a mild detergent, such as a dishwashing
liquid. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTHS, STEEL WOOL OR SCOURING POW-
DERS.
