Immediately unplug the unit if it makes strange sounds,
emits smells, or smoke comes out of it, and contact
customer service.
General Use Safety Information
For general ventilation purposes only. Do not to use to
vent hazardous materials or vapors.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back drafting. 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 the local code authorities.
Do not use in cooking area. (Figure 1)
.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
Do not use fan to exhaust corrosive gases.
Do not block the air intakes or exhaust.
The fan must not be installed in a ceiling with an “R”
rating greater than 40.
To reduce the risk of injury, install the fan at least 7 feet
(2.1m) above the floor.
Do not clean the fan with corrosive chemicals or water in
excess of 60°C (140°F).
The fan should not be turned on or off rapidly or left
running continuously.
If the fan is not operating properly, shut the power off
immediately, and have a certified installer inspect it and
have it serviced as required.
This fan must be mounted to structural members that are
strong enough to support the fan’s weight.
Do not allow foreign objects to enter the fan; this could

INSTALLATION
This unit is intended to be installed in a ceiling. The joists where the fan is to be installed must be a minimum of 2” x 4”
material to ensure adequate support. The joists should be spaced 16” on center or up to a maximum of 24” on center.
This product is designed for installation in ceilings with a minimum of 9” clearance. Consult with a certified contractor if
you are unsure if the framing / joists in your ceiling are sufficient for these requirements.
Refer to the below installation options diagram before proceeding:
Determine Installation Setup & Attach
Suspension Brackets to Housing
The spacing between the joists in your ceiling will
determine the installation setup. Measure the
distance between the center of each joist where the
unit is to be installed as shown. (Figure 4)
For joist spacing up to 16”, please refer to the
installation setup shown. (Figure 5a) You will need
two (2) Suspension Brackets ‘A’plus Suspension
Bracket ‘B’. Slide brackets into channel as shown.
For joist spacing between 16” and 24” you will need four (4) Suspension Brackets ‘A’ plus Suspension Bracket
‘B’. Fasten Suspension Brackets A together using two (2) of the included Phillips Head Machine Screws (4mm
x 8mm) for each side of the fan housing as shown. (Figure 5b) Do not fully tighten the screws until the unit is
secured to ceiling joists. Slide brackets into channel as shown. Note: The ends of Brackets A and Bracket B
will slide together within the bracket channel.

INSTALLATION CONTINUED
Secure Fan Housing and Suspension Brackets to Ceiling Joists
1. Remove the wire box cover to allow for easier wire connections when unit is secured to joists. The wire box
cover plate has two (2) screws that secure it to the wire box. Removing the one (1) screw located closest to the
middle of the unit will allow the cover plate to pivot open to allow access to the wires. (Figure 6a, Figure 6b)
2. Refer to the screw location diagram for your installation setup. (Figure 6a, Figure 6b) Position the fan housing
with suspension brackets attached where the unit is to be installed.

Page | 8
3. Drive the self-tapping screws with a Phillips Head screwdriver or drill with a Phillips Head drill bit attachment to
secure fan unit to joists. There are two (2) screw holes located at the end of each suspension bracket as well as
on the wire box bracket that are to be used to secure the fan unit to the ceiling joists. It is recommended that a
minimum of six (6) screws be used to secure the fan unit to the joists. Additional screws have been included to
secure the fan housing unit itself to the joists that may be utilized, as necessary. Secure all screws to joists
tightly. (Figure 6a, Figure 6b, Figure 7)
NOTE: For 24” joist setup where the extension brackets are used, please firmly tighten the 4x8mm machine
screws that were used to connect the extensions brackets together.
Connect Outlet Duct to Home Vent Duct
Connect the in home vent duct to outlet duct on fan unit and secure with clamps or wire ties and seal with
mastic or approved duct tape (not included). Circular duct work with minimal bends is recommended for best air
flow performance. (Figure 8)
Installation Tip: Be sure to
allow for the appropriate
depth for your particular
ceiling type. The bottom
edge of the housing should
be flush with the ceiling.
NOTE: In order for the
fan to operate
efficiently, keep the in
home vent duct as
straight as possible.

Connect Power Supply to Fan Unit Wiring
Make all the electrical connections in the wire box, per the wiring diagram, using UL approved wire nuts (not
included) and re-attach the wire box cover. Refer to the wiring diagram located at the end of this manual for
additional wiring information. (Figure 9a, Figure 9b) Please consult with a certified electrician if you have
questions regarding the electrical connections for this unit.
Attach Grille
To complete installation, attach the grille by gently squeezing the wire springs and inserting into the two (2)
slots located on the inside edges of the fan housing. Once partially inserted, the springs will pull the grille
towards the fan housing for a snug fit.
WARNING
Failure to turn OFF power
supply prior to installation
of this appliance can result
in electrical shock, fire,
and/or death.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance should be performed to ensure proper performance and long product life. Routine maintenance
should be performed yearly, however more frequent maintenance may be required depending on the environment in
which the unit has been installed.
WARNING! Disconnect from power source before performing maintenance.
To clean the grille, first remove it from the fan. Then use a soft brush or vacuum with soft bristle attachment to
remove all dirt and debris. If the dirt is not easily removed, wash with a neutral detergent. Ensure that the grille
is completely dry before reinstallation.
If it is necessary to remove the impeller and fan motor housing for maintenance, first unplug the electrical
connection and then remove the four (4) screws that secure the fan assembly to the housing. To clean the
impeller and housing, remove the motor and then wash with water or a neutral detergent, as required. (Figure
10)
NOTE: Keep all electrical components away from water. Do not use corrosive chemicals or water in excess of 60°C
(140°F) to clean plastic parts.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Possible causes
Solutions
The fan is noisy.
The CFM rating is too high.
Verify that the CFM rating on the fan matches
the size requirements for the room in which
the unit is installed.
The damper is damaged or not
working properly.
Check the damper (Figure 2) to ensure it is
opening and closing properly. If the damper
has become damaged or unable to open and
close freely, please call Customer Service.
The bend in the duct is too close
to the fan discharge.
Be sure you do not have any sharp bends in
the exhaust vent duct closer than 24in. to the
outlet duct on the fan unit.
The fan discharge has been
reduced to fit a smaller duct.
Use the recommended size ducting to reduce
fan noise. (Figure 3)
The fan unit is not installed or
attached properly.
Be sure the fan is securely attached to the
ceiling joists. (Figure 6a, Figure 6b)
The fan is not operating as
expected.
There is insufficient airflow intake
in the room.
Be sure a door or window is slightly ajar or
opened to allow airflow. The fan is not able to
draw air out of the room without enough
airflow to draw from
There is insufficient CFM.
Verify that the CFM rating on the fan matches
the size requirements for the room in which
the unit is installed.
Fan Will Not Turn On
A fuse has blown or the circuit
breaker is tripped.
Replace the broken fuse in your fuse box or
reset the breaker.
The internal fan motor plug has
become disconnected.
Disconnect power source.
Remove grille and wire box cover (see
‘Maintenance’ Section.
Check to ensure that the internal
electrical plug is properly connected to
fan housing.
