Fitting

1. Choose a suitable position for your fan

according to Figure 1 opposite. Use a

cable ﬁnder to check if there are any

buried cables or pipes in the ceiling.

Ceiling mounted ventilation should

be ducted through the roof space, by

ducting to an external soﬃ t under the

eaves or grille in the slope of your roof.

NB: Ducting installed between a ﬂoor and

ceiling can only run between joists, not

across them.

2. Mark the position of the vent fascia with a

pencil in a suitable position on the ceiling,

making sure that it is between the joists.

3. Drill a 9mm hole through the ceiling

anywhere along the edge of the pencil

line. Now cut out the hole with a pad saw.

4. Hold the vent fascia against the ceiling

and mark the position of the ﬁxing holes.

Fix the unit in place using suitable heavy

duty plasterboard ﬁxings (not supplied).

5. Attach ﬂexible ducting (not supplied) with

the metal hose clamps. Ensure that the

ducting has a smooth ﬂow towards the

external grille to minimise air resistance.

Follow a similar procedure for the outside

wall grille.
