A few minutes planning can make a big difference to the installation time and to
your satisfaction with the function of the appliance.
1. For the exhaust fan to work efficiently, replacement air of a volume
equivalent to what is being extracted must be able to enter the room. In
general, this air would be drawn under the door, or through a slightly open
window. If the room is airtight, the fan will function poorly.
2. This appliance is designed for installation in flat ceilings ONLY. Do not
mount it on a sloping ceiling or a vertical wall.
3. Before commencing any cutting, check that there are no obstructions
such as ceiling joists and that there is sufficient height clearance or the
housing and routing of the duct. Check that the electrical wiring can be
routed from the wall switches to the mounting location.
7. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by your local electrician
or similarly qualified pe son in order to avoid a hazard.
8. This appliance is designed for indoor use only.
9. Do not allow any foreign object to enter through the facia opening or outlet
as this may damage the appliance and/or the user.
10. The appliance shall, under no circumstances, be covered with insulating
material or similar material.
11. Make sure that the power is OFF before installation.
12. When cutting into the mounting surface, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.

1. Locate in accordance with the requirements of the wiring rules relating to
damp situations. national and local council regulations concerning the
discharge of air must be fulfilled.
2. For installation where external venting is required or is your choice,
select a suitable location in the exterior side wall or under the eave to vent
out the exhausted air/steam and cut out a Φ105mm hole. NOTE: Make
sure the ducting will reach from the centre of installation of the appliance
to the external vent.
3. Put one end of the 100mm ventiduct through the hole and secure the duct
to a suitable outlet grill and if necessary seal the join with duct tape and
seal space around the hole using a suitable sealant where necessary. Fix
the outlet grill to the wall/eave.
4. Choose a suitable mounting location in the ceiling. Note it should not be
where it may come into contact with water for example above a shower or
bath. Centre of room is ideal. If not, at least 250mm from a wall.
5. Use the template card provided as a hole cutting template
(VDEF-250: 210mmx210mm or VDEF-300: 250mmx250mm).
6. Do not install above or adjacent to a cooking appliance.
7. The fan is intended to be mounted at high level and must be installed so
that the blades are more than 2.1m above the floor.
8. CAUTION: Ensure that the intended hole will have suitable room to locate
the unit and that it will not interfere with joists or the ceiling structure.
Joists, beams and rafters shall not be cut or notched to install the appliance

maintained between the appliance and any wall. There should be a
minimum of 300mm height clearance in the ceiling for objects above the
housing. A minimum of 30mm clearance is required around the hole for the
fan, the vertical sides of the appliance and any adjoining parts of the roof
structure, such as joists or insulation batts. Refer also Figure 1. Dimensions
below.

earthing contact installed near the fan. This must be located within the
length of the supply cord and plug from the fan.
