This product uses a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor.
DESCRIPTION
This Panasonic ventilating fan model is listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.
The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.
The lighting unit is an energy-saving, lighting device that uses one 11 W BR30 shape LED lamp (model:
11BR30G4DIM/927/GU24, from the company Green Creative) and produces almost the same
illumination as a standard 65 W incandescent lamp.
It also incorporates a thermal-cut off for safety. The trim ring is a spring-loaded, quick remove type. A
damper for preventing air counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan
developed to reduce the noise level.
FCC Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning this
product on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect equipment into outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The productmustuseLEDlamp (model:11BR30G4DIM/927/GU24)
fromthe companyGreenCreative.
Please wear gloves when installing or cleaning the fan.

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the fan to
minimize building heat loss and gain. (Fig.15)
Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed
directly over the fan housing in the attic. Our
fans and fan/light combination units do not
create excessive heat that is a common problem
with recessed light fixtures or some
competitor’s fan/light combination. Our
efficient, cool-running motors and our LED lamp
do not create enough ambient heat to be
subjected to these limitations.

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the
building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest,
straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller
ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold
growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.
