2. INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING AFR
1.  Determine in which area you would like to install your 
QuietCool AFR.
2.  From inside the attic, nd the center point between the two 
roof rafters and mark it as the center of the fan hole. Partially 
insert a screw into the center point mark. 
   NOTE: If you have a tile roof, you will need to move the 
  tiles out of the way before tracing and cutting. (See Figure 
 2.1A)
3.  Go to the roof. Using the screw as a reference point and the 
provided template, trace out the 16” diameter circle. 
4.  Use a reciprocating saw to cut out the traced hole pattern 
from the roof decking. Remove the cut out decking material 
from around the hole as needed. (See Figure 2.1B)
5.  If you have a shingle roof, insert the reciprocating saw 
sideways between the shingles and roof decking. Starting 
at the 3 o’clock position of the fan hole, begin cutting in a 
sweeping motion under the shingles, cutting through any 
roong nails or staples. Continue cutting counterclockwise 
around the fan hole until reaching the 9 o’clock position. Using 
a roong knife, cut a 4 inch horizontal slit in the shingles at the 
9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions of the hole, allowing the fan’s 
ashing to slide underneath the shingles.
6.  Apply weatherproof material to the roof. (See Figure 2.1C)
7.  Position the fan so that it is centered with the fan hole and 
allow the power cord to hang freely from the bottom of the 
fan unit. The power cord comes in 20 ft length.  
  (See Figure 2.1D) 
NOTE: Power cord CANNOT be used outdoors.
8.  Lifting the fan unit up at an angle, apply weatherproof caulking 
to the bottom side of the fan unit. This will help keep the fan in 
place and will seal nice and tight.

NOTE: Wiring Diagrams are for examples ONLY. Wiring should be done by an  
experienced electrician.
NOTE: Your fan came with the Smart Control Hub pre-wired to a power cord for testing purposes 
before installation. If you would like to hard-wire the fan, or it is required by your local building 
codes, please follow the wiring instructions below.
