PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the fan to
minimize building heat loss and gain.
Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed directly
over the fan housing in the attic. Panasonic fans
do not create excessive heat, which is a common
problem with recessed light fixtures and some
competitors' fan/light combinations. Our efficient,
cool - running motors do not create enough
ambient heat to be subjected to these limitations.
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the
building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise
and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest,
straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than
recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with
existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.
