prominent warning device,
such as a tag, to the service panel.
.. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in
.. accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
.. 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.
.. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage metal objects, electrical

Spot and continuous ventilation:
This product is designed to run continuously ensuring a healthy environment at low airflow levels 24
hours a day.
By utilizing the CustomVent Multi-speed module the product is built to run continuously
at a pre-set lower level (0, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 CFM). The setting
is dependent on the size of the house
and the individual wishes
of the homeowner. It is crucial that the installer pre-set the lower setting
during the installation.
Please refer to the chart below and the switch indication on page 6.

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the fan to
minimize building heat loss and gain. {Fig.16) 3 inch or 4 inch roof jack, wall cap,
or soffit vent with backdraft damper

lighting unit 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.
