2. INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING AFR
(Shingle Roofs from 3:12 to 8:12)
NOTE:
This installation utilizes the included Primary Flashing of

the AFR. For installing the AFR on a tile or cement roof, please
skip to page 8.
1. Determine in which area you would like to install your QuietCool
AFR.
2. From inside the attic, find the center point between the two roof
rafters and mark it as the center of the fan hole. Partially insert a
screw into the center point mark. (see Figure 2.1A)
3. Go to the roof. Using the screw as a reference point and the
provided template, trace out the 17 1/4" diameter circle. (see
Figure 2.1B)
4. Use a reciprocating saw to cut out the traced hole pattern from the
roof decking. Remove the cut out decking material from around
the hole as needed. (see Figure 2.1C)
5. Insert the reciprocating saw sideways between the shingles and
roof decking. Starting at the 3 o'clock position of the vent hole,
begin cutting in a sweeping motion under the shingles, cutting
through any roofing nails or staples. Continue cutting counter-
clockwise around the vent hole until reaching the 9 o'clock
position.
6. Using a roofing knife, cut a 4 inch horizontal slit in the shingles at
the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions of the hole, allowing the fan's
flashing to slide underneath the shingles. (see Figure 2.1D)
7. Remove the fan hood for easier installation. This will help you line
up the fan to the hole in the roof.
8. Lifting the fan unit up at an angle, apply weatherproof sealant to
the bottom side of the fan unit. This will help keep the fan in place
and create a watertight seal. (See Figure 2.3E)
NOTE:
Be sure to use a generous amount of weatherproof

sealant to create a watertight seal.
9. Slide the fan unit underneath the shingles until the fan reaches the
top of the hole and apply more sealant. (See Figure 2.1F)
