INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF

AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

SECTION 1

Preparing the Unit

1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces

are present. In addition to the unit you should have:

1 - Grill with Light Lens

4 - Mounting Rails

1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

2. Remove the two machine screws holding the light

reflector in place. Keep the reflector and screws in

the carton until needed so they do not get damaged

or lost. (Figure 1).

3. Remove the wire compartment cover by loosening

the two screws holding the cover in place (Figure 2)

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL OVER A TUB OR

MOUNT IN A SHOWER STALL ENCLOSURE.

4. Choose the location for your unit. To ensure the best

air and sound performance, it is recommended that

the length of ducting and the number of elbows be

kept to a minimum, and that insulated hard ducting

be used. Larger duct sizes will reduce noise and

airflow restrictions. This fan will require at least 7"

of clearance in the ceiling, and will mount through

drywall up to 3/4" thick. The fan can be mounted

directly to the joist using the mounting tabs on the

side of the housing or between

16" on center joists using the

4 provided mounting rails.

5. Remove the electrical

knockouts using a straight-

blade screw driver (Figure 3).

SECTION 2

New Construction

1. Mounting Rail Installation: Install the rails on the

housing and position the housing next to the joist.

Line up housing so it will be flush with the finished

ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails with screws or

nails (not included) to the joists and slide housing

into final position (Figure 4).

1a. Mounting Tab Installation: Line up housing so that

it will be flush with the finished ceiling. Position the

fan so that the tabs rest flat against the joist and

secure with screws or nails (not provided) to ensure

proper installation (Figure 5).

SECTION 3

Existing Construction

1. Mounting Rail Installation: Set housing in position

between the joist and trace an outline onto the ceiling

material (Figure 6). Set housing aside and cut opening,

being careful not to cut or damage any electrical or

other hidden utilities. Install the rails on the housing

and position the housing in the previously cut hole so

that it is flush with the finished ceiling. Secure the

ends of the rails to the joists with screws or nails (not

provided) to ensure proper installation (Figure 4).

1a. Mounting Tab Installation: Position housing against

the joist and trace an outline of the housing onto the

ceiling material (Figure 7). Set housing aside and

cut opening, being careful not to cut or damage any

electrical or other hidden utilities. Place housing

next to the joist and insure that it is flush with the

finished ceiling. Secure with screws or nails (not

provided) to the joists (Figure 5).

SECTION 4

Ducting

CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH

LOCAL AND NATIONAL BUILDING CODES.

1. Remove any tape that might be holding the damper

in place during shipping and connect the ducting to

the fan’s duct collar (Figure 8). Secure in place using

tape or screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the

outside through a wall or roof cap.

SECTION 5

Wiring

CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF

AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

WARNING: THIS UNIT MUST BE WIRED ON A

SEPARATE 20 AMP CIRCUIT.

CAUTION: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST

BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES,

ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU

ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING

ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A

QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

1. Run wiring from approved wall switches carrying

the appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one

ground (green or bare copper), and three hot (black,

red, blue leads connected to the switch, one for

each function). Secure the electrical wires to the

housing with an approved electrical connector. Make

sure you leave enough wiring in the box to make the

connection to the fan’s receptacles.

2. Connect the white wire from the house to the three

white wires from the fan. Connect one hot (black)

wire from the wall switch to the black wire from the

fan (this is the fan control). Connect second hot (red)

wire from the wall switch to the red wire from the

fan (this is the heat control). Connect the third hot

(blue) wire from the wall switch to the blue wire from

the fan (this is the light control). Connect the ground

wire from the house to the green wire from the fan

(Figure 9). Use approved methods for all connections.

3. Reinstall the wire compartment cover by sliding the

tabs at the bottom of the cover into the slots in the

housing. Make sure all wires are tucked inside of the

compartment and are not being pinched or showing

through. Reinstall the two screws removed in Step 3

of SECTION 1

Preparing the Unit

(Figure 10).

SECTION 6

Completing the Installation

1. Insert the plug from the heating unit into the

receptacle marked “HEAT”, and the plug from the

fan into the receptacle marked “VENT”(Figure 11).

2. Remove grill from carton and open light lens area

by pushing in on the two tabs of the light lens and

pulling outward from lens. The lens will swing open

on the connector bars. DO NOT remove the lens

from the grill (Figure 12).

3. Install light reflector into grill by lining up the posts on

grill with the holes in light reflector (Figure 13). Raise

light reflector and grill up to housing and insert plug

from light into receptacle marked “LIGHT” (Figure 11).
