List of components

These Panasonic ceiling mount ventilating fan models use a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor.

The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.

It also incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety. The grille can be quickly detached from the main unit. Adamper for

preventing air counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise

level.

The light unit is an energy-saving, lighting device which uses two 13W fluorescent lamps and produces almost the

same illumination as a standard 100W incandescent lamp.

WARNING:

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.

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 backdrafting. 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 for Heating Refrigeration 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 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.

Do not use this unit with any solid-state control device.

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.

NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.

Do not insulation rated greater than R40.

(Cooking area)

Do not install above or

inside this area.
