INSTALLation I (joist mounting)

1. For ideal ventilation use, hold the body of the fan with

the exhaust side facing the desired duct direction.

2. Place the body of the fan in between joists in

designated area.

3. If convenient to secure unit to the joist (otherwise go

to step 4), place the unit against joist and push the fan

to the proper depth and use long screws (Fig. C).

4. Add the provided brackets (Fig. D) to the sides that are

not connected to the joists.

5. If the brackets are too short to reach

the joist, use the extensions provided (Fig. E).

6. Attach the duct to the exhaust outlet of the fan.

Secure with duct tape (Fig. F) and make sure there is

no air leak. Make sure there are no sharp bends in

the duct line (Fig. G). For 90 degrees angles,

use smooth curves or break into two smaller angles

or curves (Fig. H).

7. Electrical installation:

Wires from the power supply to the unit should

not be smaller than size 14 AWG. The ground wire

must be connected to the green wire in junction

box, the neutral wire to the white wire and the hot

wire to the black wire.

installation II (IN EXISTING CEILING)

1. In case there is a ventilation unit with the same dimensions in the ceiling,

proceed as follows:

• Remove the old unit;

• Check the existing duc t work and electrical wiring;

• Install the unit as des cribed in Installation I.

2. In case you want to mak e a new opening in existing ceiling:

• Find the best location for the ventilation purpose;

• Make sure that :

− the chosen place has easy access to exterior air outlet (wall cap or roof jack)

and there will not be a need for sharp angles or very lo ng duct;

− the chosen place for the duct work will not interfere with any other existing

duct work in the building;

− there is no electrical w iring or any pipes behind the chosen place;

• Open the optimal place. Be careful to cut the hole exactly. If the hole is too big,

the fan grille will not hide it;

• Make the strong support b eams for the unit (make sure it is strong enough

for the weight of the unit);

• Provide the duct syste m and electrical wiring;

• Follow the instructions on Installation I.
