Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your exhaust fan. Consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
- Preparation: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Determine the desired mounting location in the ceiling, ensuring adequate space for the fan housing and ductwork.

- Mount Housing: Secure the fan housing to the ceiling joists using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the housing is level and firmly attached.
- Duct Connection: Connect the appropriate size ductwork (typically 4-inch round) to the fan's duct connector. Seal all duct connections with duct tape or clamps to prevent air leakage.
- Electrical Wiring: Connect the fan's wiring to the household electrical supply in accordance with local electrical codes. This typically involves connecting the hot, neutral, and ground wires. Ensure separate wiring for the fan, main LED light, and night light if controlled independently.

- Night Light: Operate the night light using its dedicated wall switch.
Bluetooth Speaker Operation
- Power On: Ensure the fan unit has power. The Bluetooth speaker will typically enter pairing mode automatically when powered on for the first time or if not connected to a device.
- Enable Bluetooth: On your mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), enable Bluetooth.
- Pairing: Search for available Bluetooth devices. The fan's speaker will appear as a device name (e.g., "CE Fan Speaker" or similar). Select it to pair.
- Playback: Once paired, you can play audio from your device through the fan's speaker. Control volume and track selection from your mobile device.
- Reconnection: The speaker will usually automatically reconnect to the last paired device when both are within range and Bluetooth is enabled.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your exhaust fan. Always disconnect power 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.
- Fan Blade Cleaning: With the power off, carefully wipe the fan blades and motor housing with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not allow water to enter the motor.
- LED Light: The integrated LED lights are designed for long life and are not user-serviceable. If the light fails, the entire grille assembly may need replacement.
- Ductwork Inspection: Annually inspect ductwork for any blockages or damage that could impede airflow.
