Frequently Asked Questions - AE50110DCL BROAN

Can I install this fan above a bathtub or shower?

Yes, provided it is installed in the ceiling and connected to a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

Can I use a speed control for the fan?

For Flex™ Series models with fan/light, do not use a speed control. Use a two-function wall control.

How do I clean the fan?

Lower or remove the grille, then clean the interior with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a dusting brush. The motor is lubricated and does not require oil.

What is the recommended duct size?

Use a round duct 10 cm (4 in). Seal joints with duct tape.

Can I install this fan in a wall?

Yes, if mounted at least 2.4 m (8 ft) above the floor.

How do I adjust the airflow?

On some models, you can select 50, 80 or 110 CFM depending on room size and desired airflow.

What if the motor becomes noisy?

If the motor bearings are abnormally noisy, replace the fan assembly (motor and wheel).

Can I install the fan on existing ducts?

Yes, but airflow may be reduced. For optimal performance, use the shortest and straightest ducts possible.

Do I need to disconnect power before maintenance?

Yes, turn off power at the electrical panel and lock the main switch or attach a warning tag.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning 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.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. 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.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Acceptable for use over a tub or shower when connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch circuit (ceiling installation only).
8. This unit must be grounded.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
2. This product can be installed in a wall if mounted 8-ft. or more above the floor.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
4. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For quiet and efficient operation, long life, and attractive appearance - lower or remove grille and vacuum interior of unit with the dusting brush attachment.

The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings are making excessive or unusual noises, replace the blower assembly (includes motor and impeller).

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.

COOKING AREA Do not install above or inside this area. 45° 45° NOT FOR USE IN A COOKING AREA. Cooking Equipment Floor

- 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.
