ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
• A 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x
25.4 cm) with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 6" (15.2 cm) or larger

air turbulence that gently reduce performance.
