Installation
Step 1. Determine the location
The preferred location for the EF34 is in the center of the room, this position will provide the best
performance of the fan.
If you intend to place multiple fans in the same room you should divide the room into equal sections
and place the fans in the center of each section. In both instances of one or multiple fans, the above
recommendations will provide air movement coverage to all corners of the space.
Step 2. Remove contents from the package
The 2-part protective foam covers the entire fan. Lift the top cover of the housing. Located at each corner
of the protective foam, you will nd all the parts located in storage locations.
Do not remove the body of the Exhale™ Fan at this time; that will come later in the installation.
Step 3. Turn o all electrical power
Locate your electrical panel or fuse box and turn o the power to the room where you are installing the
fan.
WARNING: Turn o all electrical power prior
to making any electrical connections. Failure
to do so could result in electrical shock.
If you are unsure how to disconnect the electric
power, please consult a licensed electrician for
assistance. Table of electric circuit
breakers in the house.

Step 4. Ceiling Mount
a. Pass the electrical wires from the ceiling through the
ceiling mount center hole as shown in Figure 1.
b. x the support to the ceiling with suitable plugs
c. Using a level, make sure the mount is plumb and level to
the oor, adjust if necessary.
d. (We oer a solution for inclined ceilings (up
to 45 degrees, contact us or check our online
shop)
Figure 1.
Step 5. Electrical Connections
a. Connect the fan neutral wire (black)to the black household supply wire as shown in Figure 4.
b. Connect the phase supply (red) to the red household supply as shown in Figure 4.
c. Connect the Ground fan wire (Green & yellow) to the ground household supply as shown in gure 4.
Red = Phase. Black = Neutral. Green/yellow = neutral
d. After connecting all the wiring, spread them apart so that the Green and White wires are located on
one side of the electrical box and the Black on the other.
e. Turn the wire nuts upward and push the wires neatly into the electrical box so they are out of the way.
f. Secure the fan safety cable hook through the slot on the ceiling mount that is opposite of the ceiling
mount hook.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
DO NOT use a wall-mounted speed control with this fan.
Start by hanging the motor from the ceiling mount hook
as shown in Figure 3.
Running the Exhale out of level can cause it to become unstable or wobble.
Installation to concrete ceilings requires optional mounting hardware. (See Optional Accessories A)

Install (2) motor mount screws
2 full turns into the motor. The
locations for the screws are
marked with a small white mark.
WARNING: Not installing the screws
a full (2) rotations could result in
them backing out and causing the disc
array to fall prior to installing the remaining
screws.
b. Install the disc array onto the motor by
aligning the (2) screws installed earlier to
the 'Key Holes' in the disc array as shown in
Figure 9.
Figure 8.
c. Rotate the entire disc array counter
clockwise to lock the screws into the

Remote Operation (Cont.)
Each remote is pre-programed to motor when packaged at the factory. However, we have added
instructions below on how to program the remote in the event that it may become necessary.
a. Install the two AAA 1.5 Volt Batteries into the remote transmitter by rst removing the battery cover on the
back cover. Insert the batteries as indicated with the positive + end of the battery aligned with the + sign on
the battery holder.
Operating Functions of the Remote:
The Remote Transmitter has Six Operational Buttons and are depicted (See Figure 9a)
∞To turn the fan ON or OFF select the button labeled POWER.
∞To Increase or Decrease fan Speed select SPEED UP or SPEED DOWN button. The illuminated scale at the
top of the remote will indicate the speed selected, 1 through 6.
∞Please note that the lighted scale on top of the remote will indicate the speed that your fan is operating.
∞To change the direction of rotation, Toggle the CW/CCW button for ClockWise direction or
CounterClockWise direction. The lighted scale will scroll when the CW/CCW button is depressed, right to
left for Clockwise, and Left to right for Counter Clockwise. With your Exhale Fan rotational direction is of
personal preference, performance and temperature are not aected.
∞Turning on the LED light is made by pressing the LED LIGHT ON/OFF button.
∞The LED DIMMER button is used to provide a full-scale dimmer function for your LED. Press and Hold
the dimmer button to select the level of illumination that you desire. While holding this button the level
of illumination will increase to 100% and then decrease to 20%, just release the button at the level of
illumination that you desire.
Remote Programming (Syncing the Remote):
∞Turn the power OFF for at least 10 Seconds, if necessary, turn o the Circuit Breaker that routes power to
your fan.
∞Turn Power to the Fan ON
∞Within 60 seconds of turning the power on, press and hold the LED ON/OFF button for 5 seconds. Do not
touch any other button during this process, doing so will cause this process to fail.
∞Once the Synchronization is completed and detected you will hear an audible “BEEP” which indicates a
successful synchronization.
∞After completing the steps all fan functions will be available.
Please note that if a Power Failure occurs you may have select the CW / CCW direction button since it is not
remembered by the fan.

Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING: Make sure the fan is turned o and is not spinning before attempting to clean with
either of the methods listed above.
With any fan, dust will collect on the leading edges where the air passes over.
Using a damp cloth with a mild detergent, wipe the dust from the interior and exterior edges of the discs.
Alternatively, you can use the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner to remove dust collected on the
interior and exterior surfaces of the fan.
We recommend cleaning the fan once a
month to keep dust to a minimum and
keep your fan running at its optimum.
