FOLLOWING: 

■  

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the 
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the 
manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in 
this document.

■  

Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at

securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, 
to the service panel.

■  

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by 
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes 
and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and 
standards.

■  

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), the American Society for 
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers 
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, 
it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.

■  

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage 
electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.

■  

Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.

■  

This unit is not designed to provide combustion air for fuel 
burning appliances.

■  

Do not connect the unit directly to a combustion appliance 
of any type.

■  

During extreme weather events including snow storms, 
ensure that the intake area for the outside air duct is not 
blocked and able to provide a clear pathway for outside air 
to enter the system.

 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY 

METAL DUCTWORK.

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to 

exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

 To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust 

air, be sure to duct air outside - do not vent exhaust air into 
spaces within walls or ceilings, attics or into crawl spaces, or 
garages.

■  

When notching or drilling into framing including floor 
supports, rim joists, and wall studs, comply with code and 
manufacturer limitations on allowable modifications to these 
structural members.

This unit is intended to be installed within the home in a 
location protected from moisture.

■  

This unit must be in an accessible location which allows for 
inspection of the unit.

■  

When federal, provincial or state legislation comprises more 
restrictive installation and/or certification requirements, the 
aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this 
document and the installer agrees to conform to these at 
his own expense.

■  

Do not locate outside air inlet near hazardous materials or 
explosives.

■  

Unit shall not be installed to introduce air from crawl 
spaces, garages, attics, adjacent dwelling units, or other 
locations within the building shell. Unit shall be installed to 
introduce air directly from outdoors.

■  

Do not run the outside air duct directly above or closer than 
2 ft (0.6 m) to any furnace or its supply plenum, boiler, or 
other heat producing appliance.

■  

Any ductwork used in conjunction with the damper must be 
installed in compliance with all local and national codes that 
are applicable.

Do not operate the damper for fresh air introduction until all 
system filters, including the central duct system filter, have 
been installed per the system design.

■

further information and requirements.

■  

The damper’s outdoor air intake, ducting, and any filters 
should be inspected and maintained on a regular basis.

■  

Insulate the duct and damper to prevent build-up of 
condensation in cold weather climates. Vapor barriers on 
both sides of insulation are recommended.
