READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person, including the following:

OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.If you have questions, contact the manufacturer. b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-related construction. b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities. c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. CAUTION: FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS. d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors. e) This unit must be grounded. f) To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit. g) Read all instructions before installing or using exhaust fan.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE. a) Acceptable for use over a bathtub or shower when installed in a GFCI protected branch circuit.

Preparing the Exhaust Fan

1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to the

exhaust fan you should have:

1 - Grill with Light Lens

1 - Damper Assembly (attached)

1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

2. Remove the fan’s venturi assembly, which is secured in place with one screw through the

venturi (Figure 1). This is a captive screw and will stay installed in the venturi. Keep the venturi assembly and the grill in the carton until needed so they do not get damaged or lost.

3. Choose the location for your fan. 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 6” of clearance in the ceiling or wall, 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.

4. Select the most convenient electrical knockout hole

and insert the knockout plug into the 2nd knockout hole (Figure 2).

1. Mounting Rail Installation: Install the rails on the housing and position the housing next to

the joist. Using the gauge on the fan’s housing, line up housing so that 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 the housing into the final position (Figure 3).

2. Mounting Tab Installation: Using the gauge on the fan’s housing, 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 four nails (not provided) to ensure proper installation (Figure 4). www.airkinglimited.com 210572120 Rev. M 5-16 2 of 12

Existing Construction

1. Mounting Rail Installation: Set housing in position between the joist and trace an outline

onto the ceiling material (Figure 5). 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 (Figure 3).

2. Mounting Tab Installation: Position housing against the joist and trace an outline of the

housing 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. Place housing next to the joist and insure that it is flush with the finished ceiling. Secure with four nails (not provided) to ensure proper installation (Figure 4).

1. Connect the ducting to the fan’s duct collar (Figure 7). Secure in place using tape or

screw clamp. Always duct the fan to the outside through a wall or roof cap. NOTE: If damper detaches from unit, reattach by snapping the collar back onto the unit. It is designed to only fit one way. Figure 3 Housing Joist Mounting Rails Figure 5 Figure 4 Figure 6 Figure 1 Figure 2SECTION 5 Wiring CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

1. Wiring Fan/Light Independently: Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the

appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green or bare copper), and two hot (black lead connected to the switch). Secure the electrical wires to the housing with an approved electrical connector. Make sure you leave enough wiring in the box to make the connection to the fan’s receptacle. 1a. From where you have access to inside the fan’s junction box, connect the one white wire from the house to both the white wire from the fan’s light receptacle and the white wire from the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the first black wire from the wall switch to the red wire from the fan’s light receptacle. Connect the second black wire from the switch to the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the ground wire from the house to the green wire from the fan’s grounding screw (Figure 8). Use approved methods for all connections.

2. Wiring Fan/Light together: Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the

appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground (green or bare copper), and one hot (black lead connected to the switch). Secure the electrical wires to the housing with an approved electrical connector. Make sure you leave enough wiring in the box to make the connection to the fan’s receptacle. 2a. From where you have access to inside the fan’s junction box, connect the one white wire from the house to both the white wire from the fan’s light receptacle and the white wire from the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the black wire from the wall switch to both the red wire from the fan’s light receptacle and the black wire from the fan’s exhaust receptacle. Connect the ground wire from the house to the green wire from the fan’s grounding screw (Figure 9). Use approved methods for all connections. www.airkinglimited.com 210572120 Rev. M 5-16 3 of 12

Completing the Installation

1. Reinstall the fan’s venturi by holding it at approximately a 45 degree angle, hook the two

tabs on the venturi into the slots on the housing and secure in place by tightening the venturi screw. Rotate the blower wheel by hand to ensure it spins freely. Now plug the fan motor into the receptacle (Figure 10).

2. Install the grill/lens/light reflector, by first removing the lens from the grill (there are two

tabs on either side that hold the lens in place). Then remove the acorn nut and the lock washer which are installed on the reflector mounting bolt in the fan housing. Adjust the height of the reflector mounting bolt so that the grill will be tight up against the finished ceiling and less than 1/4” of the reflector mounting bolt protrudes through the reflector. Secure the reflector bolt’s position by tightening the factory installed nut against the motor clip (Figure 11). CAUTION: FAILURE TO SECURE THE REFLECTOR BOLT MAY RESULT IN A RATTLING OR HUMMING NOISE.

3. After the reflector bolt is secure, raise the grill/reflector up into position, and plug the

reflector into the appropriate receptacle. Secure the assembly to the reflector bolt using the acorn nut and lock washer. Install the appropriate bulb (not included) specific to your model: ASLC50/ASLC70: 100 watt maximum, type A19 medium base incandescent bulb. ASF50/ASF70: Air King model 26SBL or compatible GU24 26 watt self ballasted lamp. Reinstall the lens into the grill (Figure 12). Restore power and test your installation.
