instructions. To access the appropriate Installation Instructions, visit

10. System Operation  
 
Once the Damper and the associated Broan, NuTone, or BEST exhaust devices are installed, 
the installer should confirm that the Damper opens and closes in conjunction with signals from 
the exhaust devices(s) as intended.  
 
The appropriate contractor should also ensure the proper operation and venting of all 
combustion equipment in the home.  
 
 
11. Maintenance 
 
Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure the proper operation of the Damper system. 
Failure to conduct such routine maintenance can jeopardize the ability of the Damper to 
introduce fresh outdoor air into the home. Regular maintenance should include the following 
activities: 

- 

Clean the outdoor insect screen to ensure it is free from debris and open to allow fresh 
outdoor air to enter. 

- 

Clean or replace the interior filter(s) which serve to filter fresh outdoor air before it enters 
the home. 

- 

Maintain a clear opening at the outdoor end cap, which means preventing the buildup of 
snow, leaves, or vegetation at the end cap. 

- 

During regular HVAC maintenance, have the mechanical contractor inspect the Damper 
system for proper operation.
