Preparing the Exhaust Fan1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces arepresent. In addition to the exhaust fan you should have:1 - Grill with Light Lens1 - Damper Assembly (attached)4 - Mounting Rails1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet2. Remove the fan s light reflector, which is secured in placewith one center located screw. Also remove the lock washer,washer and flat washer. Keep all parts in the carton untilneeded so they do not get damaged or lost (Figure 1).3. Remove the fan s venturi assembly, which is secured in placewith one screw through the venturi. Keep the venturi assemblyin the carton until needed so it does not get damaged or lost(Figure 2).4. Choose the location for your fan. To ensure the best air andsound performance, it is recommended that the length ofducting and the number of elbows be kept to a minimum, andthat insulated hard ducting be used. Larger duct sizes willreduce noise and airflow restrictions. This fan will require atleast 6" of clearance in the ceiling or wall, and will mountthrough drywall up to 3/4" thick. The fan can be mounteddirectly to the joist using the mounting tabs on the side ofthe housing or between 16" on center joists using the 4provided mounting rails.
