Preparation (continued)

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Ensure the electricity to the wires you are working on is shut off. Either remove the fuse or turn off the circuit breaker before removing the existing bath fan or installing the new one.

Before removing your current ventilation fan, verify the wall switch box has the required wires necessary for this installation. These wires are power (black) and neutral (white), as shown in the wiring diagram. If you do not see both of these wires, consult a licensed electrician.

Check the area above the installation location to be sure that wiring can run to the planned location and that duct work can be run and the area is sufficient for proper ventilation.

Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation.

Before installation, provide inspection and future maintenance access at a location that will not interfere with installation work.

You may need the help of a second person to install this fan; one person on the attic side and one on the room side.

Installation may vary depending on how the previous bath fan was installed. Supplies necessary for the installation of your bath fan are not all included; however, most are available at your local home improvement or hardware store.

New Construction Installation Instructions

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Place the fan housing (A) next to a ceiling joist. The fan housing (A) should be level and perpendicular to the joist. Allow for thickness of ceiling board used in your application. Position the fan housing (A) so the bottom edge is flush with the ceiling board. Do not flush mount to the bottom of the joist.
Before mounting the fan housing (A) to the joist, remove the duct connector for easier access to the mounting hole on that side of the fan housing (A). Remove the duct connector by inserting a flathead screwdriver between the duct connector and the metal of the fan housing (A), and gently prying it away.
Mount the fan housing (A) to the joist by inserting wood screws (AA) into the indicated holes on the metal tabs. Tighten screws until the housing (A) is firmly secured.
Replace the duct connector by hooking one side of the metal flange into the opening in the fan housing (A) and pressing the other side to snap it into place. Ensure all four metal flanges are inside the plastic duct connector when replaced.
Remove the wiring box cover from the fan housing (A). Pull house wires through the cover hole. Using quick connectors, connect house wiring from the wall switch to the fan housing (A). 14 AWG is the smallest conductor for branch-circuit wiring. Refer to wiring diagrams on page 5 for proper connections. Carefully push wire connections into the wiring box housing and reattach the cover.
Connect a 4 in. circular duct to the duct connector on the fan housing (A), securing it with duct tape or a clamp. Vent the duct to the outside. Finish ceiling work; the ceiling hole should align with the edge of the fan housing (A).
Join the connectors for the BLUETOOTH® speaker and LED light from the fan housing (A) to the grille (B). The grille (B) must be connected before turning on power to the fan.
Attach grille (B) by pinching the mounting springs and inserting them into the narrow rectangular slots in the fan housing (A). Turn on power source. Test the unit.

Existing Construction Installation Instructions

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Remove existing fan.
Measure the opening to ensure it is large enough to accommodate the 7-1/2 in. x 7-1/4 in. dimensions of the new fan housing (A).
If this fan is not replacing an old fan, be sure to cut a 7-3/4 in. x 7-1/2 in. opening for the fan housing.
Detach the two grille mounting brackets by removing the two screws on each bracket. NOTE: Save the screws for reinstallation of the mounting brackets.
With screws removed, slide grille mounting brackets aside and remove them from the fan housing (A). Unplug the three-prong fan plug and pull the fan motor out of the fan housing (A).
Remove the wiring box cover from the fan housing (A). Pull house wires through the cover hole. Using quick connectors, connect house wiring from the wall switch to the fan housing (A). 14 AWG is the smallest conductor for branch-circuit wiring. Refer to wiring diagrams on page 5 for proper connections. Carefully push wire connections into the wiring box housing and reattach the cover.
Connect a 4 in. circular duct to the duct connector on the fan housing (A), securing it with duct tape or a clamp. Vent the duct to the outside.
With wiring and duct connected, insert the fan housing (A) into the ceiling hole. Position the fan housing (A) so the bottom edge is flush with the ceiling board. Mount the fan housing (A) to the joist with three wood screws (AA) through the holes in the side of the fan housing (A). The fan housing (A) must be installed flush with the ceiling board or the grille mounting springs will not be long enough to insert into the slots inside the fan housing (A).
Plug the three-prong plug on the fan motor back into the fan housing (A). Place the fan motor back into the fan housing (A), aligning the duct with the duct opening. Replace the grille mounting brackets and secure with the screws removed earlier.
Join the connectors for the BLUETOOTH® speaker and LED light from the fan housing (A) to the grille (B). The grille (B) must be connected before turning on power to the fan.
Attach grille (B) by pinching the mounting springs and inserting them into the narrow rectangular slots in the fan housing (A). Turn on power source. Test the unit.

Pairing Your Bluetooth® Device to the Speaker
