OPERATION

The fan and light can be operated separately. Use a 2-function wall control.

Flex™ Series Fan/Light ONLY: Do not use a speed control to operate the fan.

IMPORTANT - The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airflow.

OPTION - To mount housing anywhere between ceiling framing: Use optional Hanger Bar Kit (sold separately from local distributors or website). Follow mounting instructions included with kit.
