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).
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
2 - 2 Function Switches
1 - Quad Wall Plate
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).
