CAUTION:
To install the ventilating fan, follow the procedures described in lnstallation II. Take the following precautions before
installation.
,
1. Installation in existing construction.
Installing the ventilating fan in an existing building requires an accessible area (attic or crawl space) above the planned
installation location or existing ducting and wiring.
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.
Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation.
Plan suitable location for ventilating fan.(next to ceiling joist)
