Installation
Note: All electrical work should be carried out by a licensed and qualified electrician. Ensure power is disconnected at the circuit breaker before beginning installation.
Pre-Installation Steps:
- Verify Dimensions: Confirm that your ceiling opening matches the required mounting hole size of 9.8" x 9.8" (24.8cm x 24.8cm). The panel size is 11.8" x 11.8" (30cm x 30cm).
- Prepare Wiring: Ensure you have separate wiring for the fan and light if you wish to control them independently. The fan requires a 110V power supply.
- Ducting: Prepare the 4-inch ducting for connection to the fan unit.
Tool-Free Ceiling Installation (3 Steps):
- Snap: Position the fan unit into the prepared ceiling opening. The unit is designed for a secure fit.
- Lock: Secure the fan unit to the ceiling using the provided mounting screws. Ensure it is firmly attached to the wood frame or ceiling joists for stability.
- Done: Insert the light panel into the fan housing. The LED power wire needs to be connected to the switch separately or connected in parallel to the fan power.

The fan and light can be controlled separately. The fan motor has its own wiring (black, white, green for ground), and the LED light has separate wiring (blue, brown, green for ground). Connect these to your wall switches as per local electrical codes. Modern wire connectors are provided for ease of installation.
