Thank you for purchasing a Ventura
provide many years of natural, quiet, and energy-efficient cooling.
Please take a few minutes to read over this manual and its accompanying documents to make sure you
are prepared to install the fan. In particular:
•
The homeowner/resident should read the WHERE TO LOCATE section so that the fan will be correctly
located to maximize its effectiveness and efficiency.
•
The VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS section is also particularly important, as it describes the minimum
attic ventilation neccessary to operate the fan.
•
The INSTALLATION: BACKDRAFT DAMPER section contains important information regarding the con-
straints within which this fan's backdraft damper must be installed.
Before installing this fan, inspect it and all of its parts for any damage it may have sustained during ship-
ping. DO NOT INSTALL DAMAGED EQUIPMENT. If you suspect this fan has been damaged during
shipping, contact AirScape technical support by phone at 1.866.448.4187, or email at experts@airscape-

Whole House Fans are designed to be installed within a home's attic, which makes them and their sub-
components extremely difficult to access once installed. TEST THIS FAN OUTSIDE OF THE ATTIC
BEFORE INSTALLING IT PERMANENTLY.
