Panasonic FV-08VK1 Installation Instructions Manual page 14

Properly insulate the area around the fan
to minimize building heat loss and gain.
(Fig.26)
Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed
directly over the fan housing in the attic.
Panasonic fans and fan/light combination
units do not create excessive heat that is
a common problem with recessed light
fixtures or some competitors' fan/light
combinations. Our efficient, cool-running
motors and our fluorescent bulbs do not
create enough ambient heat to be subjected
to these limitations.
Warning Concerning Removal of Covers.
The unit should be serviced by qualified technicians only. No service information is provided for customers.
Your product is designed and manufactured to ensure a minimum of maintenance. However, should your
unit ever require service, a nationwide system of factory service centers and AUTHORIZED INDEPENDENT
SERVICE CENTERS is maintained to support your product's warranty.
