Frequently Asked Questions - XB110L1 BROAN

How to install the Broan XB110L1 fan?

Turn off the power at the main panel. Remove the old fan if necessary. Secure the housing to the ceiling with screws. Connect the 4-inch exhaust duct. Connect the electrical wires (black to hot, white to neutral, green/yellow to ground). Install the grille by snapping it into place. Restore power and test.

How to clean the fan?

Turn off and unplug the fan. Remove the grille by unclipping it. Clean the grille and blades with a damp cloth or vacuum. Do not use abrasive products. Let dry before reassembling.

What to do if the fan is noisy?

Check that mounting screws are tight. Clean the blades and motor. Ensure the duct is not blocked. If noise persists, the motor may be defective and must be replaced.

How to replace the fan motor?

Turn off power. Remove the grille. Disconnect duct if needed. Unscrew the motor from the housing. Disconnect the wires. Install the new motor by reversing the steps. Reattach the grille and restore power.

What is the airflow of the XB110L1 model?

The airflow is 110 CFM (cubic feet per minute), suitable for a bathroom up to about 9 m².

Can the fan be installed in a shower?

Yes, but only if the circuit is protected by a GFCI and installation complies with local electrical codes. The fan must be mounted out of reach of direct water.

Can I add a speed controller?

No, this model is not designed to be used with a speed controller. Use only a standard ON/OFF switch.

What size duct is required?

The duct diameter must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) round. A smaller or longer duct would reduce performance.

Is the fan supplied with a switch?

No, the wall switch is not included. You must purchase one separately (single pole).

How to know if the fan is working properly?

Place a sheet of paper against the grille; it should be held by suction. If not, check the duct and motor.

Typical Installation

• Installation is the same for:

Joists

I-Joists

Trusses

• Fits in 2" x 8" ceiling construction.
- Infinitely adjust the fan position between joists from 14" to 24" on center.
- Do not install this fan in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40.

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, straighest 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.

6-inch round rigid metal duct is recommended for best performance.

Operation

To Operate Fan

Use an ON/OFF switch to operate this ventilator.

It is normal for this ventilation fan to take approximately 5 seconds to start running after it is turned on.

To Operate Lights

The fan and light can be operated independently, using separate switches. The light may be operated with a dimmer switch. See wiring diagrams.

Cleaning and Maintenance

CAUTION

IN ORDER TO PREVENT MOTOR/CONTROL DAMAGE:

DO NOT remove motor plug to stop spinning motor.

Power must be disconnected (see WARNING above) before motor plug is removed or inserted into control assembly.

To Clean

For quiet and efficient operation, long life and attractive appearance, remove Grille and vacuum interior of unit with a dusting brush attachment.

The Motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings are making excessive or unusual noises, replace the Control Assembly and Motor.

Troubleshooting

Symptom: The fan does not run.

• Check for an open fuse or circuit breaker in the building's service panel.
• Check that the two (2) plug-in connections for the Motor and the Control are seated firmly in place.
• Check that the Blower Wheel spins freely.

Symptom: The fan runs erratically.

- Check that the Blower Wheel is firmly attached to the Motor shaft and both spin freely.

Symptom: The fan seems noisy.

• Check that the back draft damper in the fan's Duct Connector pivots freely. Screws used to attach the duct to the Duct Connector may be preventing the damper from opening.
• Check that the back draft damper in the wall or roof cap pivots freely. These dampers are sometimes mistakenly painted shut or obstructed by bird and insect debris..

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE DURATION OF ANY APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE PERIOD SPECIFIED FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Fan is for the sole purpose of identifying it and shall not be construed as an express warranty.

REMEDY: During the applicable limited warranty period, Broan will, at its option, provide replacement parts for, or repair or replace, without charge, any Fan or part thereof, to the extent Broan finds it to be covered by and in breach of this limited warranty.

Consequential damages include but are not limited to the cost of repairing or replacing other property which was damaged if the Fan does not work properly.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

This warranty supersedes all prior warranties and is not transferable from the original consumer purchaser.
