Safety Considerations & Warnings
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by GAF.
If you have any installation questions, please contact
Master Flow
®
Technical Services at 1-800-211-9612.
2. For general ventilating use only. This ventilator has an
unguarded impeller. Do NOT use in locations readily
accessible to people or animals.
3. Do NOT use to exhaust hazardous material, dust,
or combustible vapors.
4. During installation, always wear appropriate safety
glasses, gloves, hard hats, restraints, and other safety
equipment to avoid injury. Warning: Always wear
durable work gloves while handling the unit.
5. Observe all applicable building and electrical codes.
6. Installation work and electrical wiring should be done by
a qualified person in accordance with all building codes
and the National Electrical Code (U.S. only), including
codes for fire ratings. Contact a qualified electrician if
you are not comfortable or familiar with electrical codes
and/or installations.
7. The ventilator should be connected to a 120 volt, 60 Hz
grounded circuit only with minimum 14-gauge wiring
that has at least 3 amperes of available capacity. If you
cannot confirm there is sufficient electrical capacity on
an existing circuit, install a separate dedicated circuit.
Do NOT use an extension cord to operate.
8. Inspect for hidden utilities before cutting or drilling.
Do NOT damage electrical wiring or other hidden
utilities when cutting or drilling.
9. Make sure the fan blade is on tight and ensure the set
screw is securely tightened.
10. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
11. FOR HOMES WITH A GAS OR OIL FURNACE OR
APPLIANCE LOCATED IN THE SAME SPACE:
The ventilator MUST be wired with a switch or other
interlocking device to prevent the furnace and ventilator
from operating at the same time during the heating
cycle. The switch or other interlocking device MUST
disconnect the vent unit from the electrical circuit power.
GAF recommends that the switch (not included) be
installed by a qualified person in accordance with all
applicable building codes and standards.
