ALL INSTALLATIONS

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.
   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.

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.
