WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,

OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s)

in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-

rated construction. Switch power off at service panel and lock the service

disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally

during installation.

B. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring

and other hidden utilities.

C. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
D. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases

through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back

drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and

safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration

and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local code authorities.

E. ASHRAE residential ventilation standard 62.2 limits exhaust fans (total) to

a maximum of 15 CFM per 100 square feet of occupiable space, unless a

back drafting test is performed or make-up air is provided. Consult a local

HVAC engineer for make-up air evaluation.
