Preparing the Exhaust Fan

1. Unpack from carton and confirm that all pieces are present. You should have:

1 - Wiring Compartment and screws

1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

NOTE: This fan is designed to mount between exterior walls 4-1/2” to 9-1/2” in thickness.

2. Remove the motor bracket assembly from the fan housing by loosening the two screws

which secure the bracket in place (Figure 1).

3. Slide the inner housing out from the outer housing and set aside in a safe place (Figure 2).

Mounting the Housing

1. From inside the house, choose the best location to mount the housing on an exterior wall.

Make sure to locate the housing where there are no studs, electrical/mechanical utilities, or any other obstructions.

2. Once you have selected the best location from inside the house, transfer the location to

the exterior of the house and confirm that there are no obstructions in the location and the fan has proper clearance to operate.

3. Once the installation location has been confirmed, cut a 8-1/4” diameter hole in the

interior wall where the fan is to be located (Figure 3).

4. Drill a small hole through to the outside in the center of the 8-1/4” diameter hole, so you

can properly locate the exterior housing (Figure 3). www.airkinglimited.com 210575005 Rev. D 12-15 2 of 8

5. On the siding of the outside wall, layout a 14-1/2” x 14-1/2” square using the small hole

drilled in Step 4 as the center point and cut out the square hole (Figure 4). CAUTION: ONLY CUT THE EXTERIOR WALL SIDING. DO NOT CUT INTO THE SHEATHING (PLYWOOD) UNDERNEATH.

6. Once the siding is cut, nail down all the loose ends of the siding (Figure 4).

7. In the center of the 14-1/2” square cut in step 5, mark and cut a 8-1/4” diameter hole

through the wall sheathing (Figure 5).

8. Install 1” x 2” casing strips (not included) for support on the edges of the 14-1/2” square

hole. Secure casing strips to plywood sheathing with screws or nails (not included) and seal where the strips meet the plywood with caulk (Figure 5). CAUTION: IF SHEATHING IS NOT PLYWOOD, YOU WILL HAVE TO ADD ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE INSTALLATION.

9. If the wall is less than 8” thick, remove one or more of the electrical compartment

clearance knockouts located on the housing (Figure 6).

10. On the interior flange of the housing, apply a generous amount of caulking and install the

housing through the hole and onto the casing strips and secure in place using screws or nails (not included) through the predrilled holes on the four corners of the housing. Seal the flange where the housing meets the wall with caulk (Figure 7). Figure 1 Screws Figure 2 Inner Housing Outer Housing

1. Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the appropriate rating. One neutral

(white), one ground (green or bare copper), and one hot (black).

2. From inside the house, insert the inner housing into the outer housing until it is tight against

the wall. Line up three holes at the end of the inner housing with three of the holes on the outer housing and secure in place with the three included 3/8” screws (Figure 8). NOTE: If you removed any of the electrical compartment clearance knockouts on the outer housing, make sure the electrical opening of the inner housing is aligned with them.

3. Pull the electrical wires through the electrical opening of the interior housing. Remove one

of the electrical knockouts of the wiring compartment and run wires through the opening making sure to leave enough wiring to make the connection to the fan’s receptacle. Secure wires to wiring compartment with an approved electrical connector (Figure 9).

4. Connect the green or bare ground wire from the house to the ground screw in the

wire compartment. Connect the white wire from the house to the white wire from the receptacle. Connect the hot (black) wire from the wall switch to the black wire from the receptacle (Figure 10). Use approved methods for all connections.

5. Insert the wire compartment into the electrical opening of the interior housing and line

up holes of wire compartment and wire compartment cover with holes on the interior housing. Secure in place using the two included 1/2” screws (Figure 11). www.airkinglimited.com 210575005 Rev. D 12-15 3 of 8

Completing the Installation

1. Reinstall the fan’s motor bracket by sliding in place and tightening the screws. Rotate

the blower wheel by hand to ensure it spins freely. Now plug the fan motor into the receptacle (Figure 1).

2. Install grill by positioning over the inner housing and aligning the center hole on the grill

with the hole on the motor bracket. Screw one side of the included grill bolt into the hole on the motor bracket and the other side into the grill knob and turn to tighten until the grill is tightly fit against the wall. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN (Figure 12).

3. Restore power and test your installation.

1. Cleaning the Grill: Remove grill and use a mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid,

and dry with a soft cloth. NEVER USE ANY ABRASIVE PADS OR SCOURING POWDERS. Completely dry grill before reinstalling. Refer to instructions in Section 4 Completing the Installation, to reinstall grill.

2. Cleaning the Fan Assembly: Wipe all parts with a dry cloth or gently vacuum the fan.
