This replace is a zero clearance design. No combustibles can be placed on

the top surface of the replace. Combustibles may be installed to the edge of

the unit. Four mounting anges on the sides of the unit are provided to facili-

tate installation. Insulation and vapor barrier should be placed a minimum of 2”

(5.1 cm) from the unit.

TRIM MOUNTING

This replace comes with three trim pieces, top and two sides. The top piece is

secured with screws at either end and one in the middle. The two side pieces

require a tab to be inserted in the center slot then secured with a screw at the

top and bottom.

SECTION A: INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Figure 2

SECTION B: GENERAL ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

For 120V installations• use two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with

ground wire (3 wires total) for the incoming power supply on replace in-

serts. Use the appropriate wire to meet local and national electrical codes

for rated power consumption.

For 208V / 240V installations• use three conductor, non-metallic sheath

cable with ground wire (4 wires total) for the incoming power supply on

replace inserts. Use the appropriate wire to meet local and national elec-

trical codes for rated power consumption.

Two conductor, non-metallic sheath cable with ground wire (3 wires total) is

recommended for installation of a wall mounted thermostat and/or wall switch

for use on replace inserts. Use appropriate wire to meet local and national

electrical codes for rated power consumption. All wire gauges should match

the recommended wire sizes shown below.

Voltage Wire Gauge Fuse Rating

208 Volts 12 Gauge 15 Amp

240 Volts 12 Gauge 15 Amp

!NOTE: The trim should be in-

stalled before securing the rebox in

the opening.

There are two mounting anges

located on each side of the replace

!NOTE: Use 3 conductor wires with ground (4 wires total) from the power

supply (breaker panel) to the junction box on the unit.

!NOTE: All wiring must be completed prior to installing the unit.

!NOTE: Ensure that the voltage selector switch is in the proper position for

the required supply voltage prior to connecting the unit to the power sup-

ply.

Locate the voltage selector switch inside the exhaust panel on the top 1.

right hand corner of the unit. Ensure that the switch is in the 240V posi-

tion. (230 is printed on switch)

Loosen the screw securing the junction box cover and remove the cover.2.

Remove the knockouts (if necessary) or use the provided cable clamp.3.

Pull out the four wires marked L1, L2, N, and G.4.

Connect L1 (black) from the unit to the L1 (black) from the power supply.5.

Connect L2 (red) from the unit to the L2 (red) from the power supply.6.

Connect N (white) from the unit to the to the Neutral (white) from the 7.

power supply.

Connect the ground wire (green) from the unit to the ground from the 8.

power supply.

Ensure that all connections are tight.9.
