Operating Instructions
The Broan-NuTone 750 fan and light combo is designed for straightforward operation. Once properly installed and wired, the fan and light functions can be controlled via standard wall switches.
- Fan Operation: The ventilation fan is activated by its dedicated wall switch. Ensure the fan is running during and after activities that generate moisture or odors in the bathroom to maintain air quality.
- Light Operation: The integrated light uses an A19 base bulb (not included) and is controlled by its own wall switch. The unit also features a 7-watt nightlight function.
- Simultaneous or Separate Control: Depending on how the unit is wired during installation, the fan and light can be operated together from a single switch or independently using separate switches. Consult your installer or the installation manual for your specific wiring configuration.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your Broan-NuTone 750 fan and light combo. Always disconnect power to the unit at the circuit breaker before performing any maintenance.
- Grille Cleaning: Periodically remove the grille and wash it with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reattaching. This prevents dust and debris buildup that can restrict airflow.
- Motor and Fan Blade Cleaning: With the power off, carefully wipe down the motor housing and fan impeller blades with a damp cloth. Avoid getting water into electrical components. The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require additional oiling.
- Light Bulb Replacement: Replace the A19 base light bulb as needed. Ensure the replacement bulb's wattage does not exceed the maximum specified (100 watts for the main light, 7 watts for the nightlight).
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on any part of the unit, as these can damage the finish or components.
