These Panasonic ceiling mount ventilating fan models use a sirocco fan with dolphin-shaped blades driven by
a capacitor motor. The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.
Double orifice technology is used to reduce noise. It also incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety. The grille
covering the main body is a spring-loaded, quickremove type. A damper for preventing counterflow is provided.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, observe the following;
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact
the manufacturer.
B. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
C. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney)
of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. 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.
D. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
E. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
F. These models are UL listed for tub and shower enclosures.
G. Solid state controls may cause harmonic distortion which can cause motor humming noise. Do not use
this unit with any solid-state control device.
H. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
I. NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
J. Not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40.

Press and hold the claw of orifice cover to open
the orifice cover.
1. Before installation, open the orifice cover. Secure the fan
body to adaptor by using thumb screw. (Fig. 1)

Check area above planned installation location to be sure that:
1. Duct work can be installed and that area is sufficient for proper ventilation.
2. Wiring can be run to planned location.
3. No wiring or other obstructions will interfere with installation.
(4) Before installation, provide inspection and maintenance access at a location that will not interfere
with installation work shown in installation .II

Insulation.
Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed
directly over the fan housing in the attic.
Panasonic fans and fan/light combination
units do not create excessive heat that is
a common problem with recessed light
fixtures or some competitors' fan/light
combinations. Our efficient, cool-running
motors and our fluorescent bulbs do not
create enough ambient heat to be
subjected to these limitations.
Properly insulate the area around the fan
to minimize building heat loss and gain.
(Fig. 25)
The unit should be serviced by qualified technicians only. No service information is provided for customers.
Your product is designed and manufactured to ensure a minimum of maintenance. However, should your
unit ever require service, a nationwide system of factory service centers and AUTHORIZED INDEPENDENT
SERVICE CENTERS is maintained to support your product's warranty.
