GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Denotes a hazard that could result in property damage.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, observe the following :

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions,

contact the manufacturer.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service

disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the

service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device,

such as a tag, to the service panel.

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with

all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney)

of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s

guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers

(ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other

hidden utilities.

Ducted exhaust fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the

application and connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch

circuit.

These models are UL listed for tub and shower enclosures.

English

Provide make up air for proper ventilation.

Do not install the unit where ducts are configured as shown in below.

Do not connect multiple units in parallel. If two or more units are connected to one switch in

parallel, the units may not function.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED

CAUTION

Make sure that the electric service supply voltage is AC 120 V, 60 Hz.

This product is not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R60.

Do not disassemble the unit for reconstruction. It may cause fire or electric shock.

The ceiling joist must be able to withstand a static load of at least five times the weight of the

product.

If this product is no longer to be used, it must be removed from the ceiling to prevent it from

falling.

Do not install with a method which is not approved in the instructions.

Do not install this ventilating fan in a location where the interior room temperature may

exceed 104 °F (40 °C).

This product must be properly grounded.

Do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device. Solid state controls may cause

harmonic distortion which can cause a humming noise in the motor.

Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and

the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Always disconnect the power source before working on or near the fan, motor or junction box.

Protect the supply wiring from sharp edges, oil, grease, hot surfaces, chemicals or other

objects.

Do not kink the supply wiring.

Not for use in cooking area. (Fig. A)

The special-purpose or dedicated parts, such as mounting

fixtures, must be used if such parts are provided.

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous

or explosive materials and vapors.

DESCRIPTION

These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.

These products use a sirocco fan driven by a DC motor powered by an integral transformer. The

motor is designed to have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges and

energy savings. The grille covering the fan body is a spring-attached, quick removal type. A damper

for preventing air counter flow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to

reduce the noise level. The lighting unit is an energy-saving LED lighting device that uses one 10 W

LED lamp and produces almost the same illumination as a standard 40 W incandescent lamp. Night

light feature consumes around 0.1 to 0.4 W.

Duct length, elbows and other factors increase static pressure which can hinder the performance of

most ventilation fans. These products utilize SmartFlow microchip technology that monitors the static

pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending upon the amount

of resistance within the ducts. This feature allows the fan to perform as rated and avoid potential

installation issues.

These products are built using DC motor technology. The DC motor is 30 % ~ 70 % more energy

efficient than the minimum ENERGY STAR requirements.
