Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufac-
turer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the
address or telephone number listed.
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 serv-
ice disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten
a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service
panel.
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 codes and
standards.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaust-
ing of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning
equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating
equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

marked as appropriate for the application and be connected
to a GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupter) - protected branch cir-
cuit.
Never place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or
shower.
This unit must be grounded.
