These Panasonic ceiling mount ventilation fans 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 covering the main body is a spring-loaded, quick-release type. A damper

for preventing counterflow is provided.

to the manufacturer.

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

applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

C. 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.

D. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

E. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

F. These models are UL listed for tub and shower enclosures.
