Installation Instructions - Air King Exhaust Fan with Light AKLC701 Operating Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION:
MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT
SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
SECTION 1
Preparing the Exhaust Fan
1. Unpack fan from the carton and confirm that all pieces are
present. In addition to the exhaust fan you should have:
1 - Grill with Glass Light Lens
1 - Damper Assembly (attached)
2 - #8 Screws
2 - Lockwashers
4 - Mounting Rails
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet
2. Choose the location for your fan. To ensure the best air and
sound performance, it is recommended that the length of
ducting and the number of elbows be kept to a minimum, and
that insulated hard ducting be used. Larger duct sizes will
reduce noise and airflow restrictions. This fan will require at
least 6" of clearance in the ceiling or wall, and will mount
through drywall up to 3/4" thick. The fan can be mounted
directly to the joist using the mounting tabs on the sides of
the housing or between 16" on center joists using the 4
provided mounting rails.
SECTION 2
New Construction
1. Mounting Rail Installation: Install the rails on the housing
and position the housing next to the joist. Using the gauge
on the fan's housing, line up housing so that it will be flush
with the finished ceiling. Secure the ends of the rails with
screws or nails (not included) to the joists and slide the
housing into the final position (Figure 1).
