Other Safety Rules:

1. Always disconnect the power supply prior to servicing the fan, motor, or junction box.
2. Installation work must be performed by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all local and safety codes, including rules for fire-rated construction.
3. Follow all local building, safety, and electrical codes, as well as NEC (National Electrical Code) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act).
4. Electric service supply must be 120 volts, 60 hertz.
5. This unit must be properly grounded.
6. Do not bend or kink the power wires.
7. Exercise care to avoid damaging existing wiring when cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings.
8. Sufficient air supply is required for proper combustion and the exhaustion of gases through the chimney (flue) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back-drafting. Refer to the standards of NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ASHRAE (American Society for Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers) and local building code authorities.
9. Do not use this fan with any solid-state control device, such as a remote control or dimmer switch. Mechanical timers are not solid-state devices.

12. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive vapors.
13. Fans should always be vented to the exterior and in compliance with local codes.
14. Do not install in a ceiling with insulation greater than R50.
15. Duct work should be installed in a straight line with minimal bends.
16. Duct work size must be the same size as the discharge and should not be reduced. Reducing the duct size may increase fan noise.
17. Prior to servicing or cleaning this unit, shut off power supply at the panel and lock to prevent the power from being turned on. If the panel cannot be locked, clearly mark the panel with a warning tag to prevent the power from being turned on.

Preparation

Before beginning assembly, ensure all parts are present by comparing them with the package contents list and hardware contents. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.

Estimated Assembly Time: 30 minutes

Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Hammer, Flathead Screwdriver, Wood Screws, Duct Tape, Philips Screwdriver, Utility Knife

Helpful Tools (not included): Electric Drill, Drill Bits.

WARNING: Turn off electricity at the breaker box before beginning installation.

Carefully remove the unit from the carton.

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

Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation.

Before installation, ensure access for future maintenance 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.

Note: Installations 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.

Installation Instructions

Review all safety precautions. Make sure electricity at the breaker box is turned off before beginning installation.

1. Choose the location for your fan in the ceiling. For best possible performance, use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of elbows. Cut an opening that measures 7.68 in. x 7.6 in.
2. Place the fan housing next to a ceiling joist or wall stud. The fan housing should be level and perpendicular to the ceiling joist or wall stud.
3. Mount the fan housing to the ceiling joist or wall stud using the wood screws (included). Mark the keyhole slots on the mounting brackets, screw in the wood screws, leaving a 3-5mm gap for the screw head. Then hang the fan onto the mounting plate and tighten the screws.
4. Remove the wiring box cover from the fan housing with a Phillips screwdriver (not included).
5. Use a quick connector to secure the 120 VAC house wiring from the wall switch to the fan. 14 AWG is the minimum wire used for branch circuit wiring. Carefully push the connected wires back into the wiring box housing. Reattach the wiring box cover.
6. Install a circular 4 in. duct (not included) and secure it with duct tape or clamps (neither included). Finish ceiling work. The ceiling hole should be aligned with the edge of the fan housing.
7. Carefully connect the light wires. (NOTE: Model BT-BPT280AS also has a colored light power cable; connect it at the same time.)
8. Pinch mounting springs on the grille and insert into the narrow rectangular slots inside the fan housing. Push the grille up toward the ceiling.
9. Push the grille against the ceiling. Complete installation.
