Setup and Installation
The Broan-NuTone AR110LKVV fan is designed for easy room-side installation, eliminating the need for attic access in many cases. Always ensure power is turned off at the circuit breaker before beginning any electrical work.
- Prepare the Opening: Use the provided template to mark and cut the ceiling opening. Ensure the opening is sized correctly for the fan housing.
- Mount the Housing: Secure the fan housing to the ceiling joists or supporting structure using appropriate fasteners. The foldable mounting ears allow for flexible installation in new construction or retrofit applications.
- Connect Ductwork: Attach the 4-inch diameter duct to the non-metallic damper/duct connector. Ensure a secure and airtight connection, using ducting tape if necessary.
- Electrical Wiring: Connect the electrical wiring according to local codes and the wiring diagram in the manual. Use wire clamps and wire nuts as required.
- Install Grille: Once the housing is securely mounted and wired, attach the CleanCover grille with the integrated LED module. Ensure the spring clips are correctly positioned for a tight fit against the ceiling.
Operating Instructions
The Broan-NuTone AR110LKVV fan offers two lighting modes and powerful ventilation:
- White Light Mode: Provides bright white light for general illumination and task lighting.
- Violet Light Mode (SurfaceShield): Emits a continuous violet light designed to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on surfaces. This mode operates at less than 4 watts, making it energy-efficient for continuous use.
- Fan Operation: The fan operates at a quiet 1 sone, effectively removing moisture and steam from bathrooms up to 105 sq. ft.
To switch between light modes and control the fan, use your standard wall switch. Typically, a quick toggle of the switch will alternate between white light, violet light, and off. The fan will activate when either light mode is selected.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your exhaust fan. Always disconnect power before servicing.
- Grille Cleaning: The CleanCover grille is designed to stay cleaner longer. To clean, gently pull down the grille to detach it from the housing. Wash the grille with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely before reattaching.
- Motor and Blower Cleaning: Periodically, inspect the motor and blower wheel for dust and debris buildup. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulation. Do not immerse the motor or electrical components in water.
- Damper Check: Ensure the TrueSeal Damper operates freely and is not obstructed, as this helps reduce air leakage and prevents backdrafts.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Broan-NuTone AR110LKVV fan, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Fan Not Operating: Check the circuit breaker and wall switch to ensure power is supplied to the unit. Verify all electrical connections are secure.
- Light Not Working: Confirm the wall switch is in the correct position for the desired light mode. If only the violet light is not working, refer to the video below for potential issues.
- Excessive Noise: Ensure the fan housing is securely mounted and not vibrating against ceiling joists. Check the blower wheel for any obstructions or debris.
- Poor Airflow: Inspect the ductwork for kinks, blockages, or leaks. Ensure the damper is opening fully. Clean the grille and blower wheel if dirty.
- Grille Not Sitting Flush: Check the spring clips on the grille. Ensure they are correctly installed and not bent, as demonstrated in the video below.
