2. Important Safety Instructions

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

  • Read all instructions thoroughly before installation and operation.
  • Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
  • Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
  • Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back-drafting.
  • When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
