DESCRIPTION
These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.
These products use a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor. The motor is designed to have an extended
service life with reduced energy consumption. lt also incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety.
The grille covering the main body is a spring-loaded, quick-release type.
A damper for preventing counterflow is provided.
The lighting unit is an energy-saving lighting device which uses one 32W fluorescent lamp and produces
almost the same illumination as a standard 100W incandescent lamp.
This product contains electronic ballast with one fluorescent lamp and is in compliance with Part 18 of
the FCC rules as consumer RF lighting device. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This product may cause interference to radio equipment and should not be installed near maritime safety
communications equipment or other critical navigation or communication equipment operating between
0.45-30 MHz. lf interference should occur, try to increase spacing between this product and the other
product.

the planning installation location or existing ducting and wiring.
(1) To install the fan body, follow the procedures described in lnstallation . Take the following
precautions before installation.
CAUTION:
Check area above planning installation location to be sure that:
1. Duct work can be done and that area is sufficient for proper ventilation.
2. Wiring can be run to planning location.
3. No wiring or other obstructions shall interfere with installation.
(2) Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation.
(3) Plan suitable location for fan body. (next to ceiling joist)
(4) Before installation, provide inspection and maintenance access at a location that will not interfere
with installation work shown in installation
(5) First, remove ceiling section according to Fig.6 of page 8.
(6) Install fan body.
2. Installation from accessible area above fan location.
(1) Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation.

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the fan
to minimize building heat loss and gain.
(Fig.28)
4 inches or 6 inches roof jack, wall cap,
or soffit vent with backdraft damper
Mechanically connect duct to termination
and seal with mastic or approved foil
faced tape
Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed
directly over the fan housing in the attic.
Our fans and fan/light combination units
do not create excessive heat that is a
common problem with recessed light
fixtures or some competitors' fan/light
combinations. Our efficient, cool-running
motors and our fluorescent lamp do not
create enough ambient heat to be subjected
to these limitations.
