Broan Nutone ChromaComfort AER110RGBL / AERN110RGBL - Fan Manual

OPERATION

The Chroma Fan/Light must be operated using only the wall control included. See separate operating instructions. DO NOT operate the Chroma Fan/Light with any other switches or controls.

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 airflow.

OPTION - To mount housing anywhere between ceiling framing: Use optional Hanger Bar Kit (sold separately from local distributors or website). Follow mounting instructions included with kit.

ALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Remove all packing material, unplug and remove blower from fan housing.
   
2. Remove wiring panel from fan housing (if already installed).
   
3. A pair of flanges may be attached to housing if desired or required.
   Snap both flange pieces under rolled-over edge of housing (all four sides).
   
   For Retrofit Installation - Skip to "RETROFIT INSTALLATION" section.

NEW INSTALLATION

   Push connector through opening from inside of housing. Engage tabs and secure with screw from TABS parts bag.
   
5. Mount housing to ceiling structure.
   Make sure bottom of housing will be flush with finished ceiling. For proper location using ½" ceiling material: Bend out housing tabs (on outside of housing) to fit against bottom of joist. Secure housing through mounting ears with appropriate fasteners. If mounting housing to I-joist, use wood blocking as shown.
   
6. Connect 4-in. round duct.
   
7. Connect wiring.
   Connect power cable to wiring plate (from parts bag) using UL approved connector. Connect house wiring to fan wiring. Use screw (from parts bag) to secure wiring plate to fan housing. Re-install wiring panel and secure with screw from parts bag.

RETROFIT INSTALLATION

4. Remove old fan and prepare ceiling.
   Enlarge ceiling opening (if necessary) to 9¾" (parallel to joist) by 10½" (perpendicular to joist). (Some models have a cut-out template on side of carton.)
   
   Existing fan housings are typically attached to the structure
   • with screws, nails, or staples, which must be removed.
   • hangers or rails which are fastened to joists and must be removed along with housing. A pry bar may be needed to remove the old housing. Leave ductwork and wiring in place.
5. Fold mounting ears flat against housing.
   
6. Connect wiring.
   Connect power cable that will supply constant 120VAC to unit. Attach wiring to wiring plate (from parts bag) using UL approved connector. Connect house wiring to fan wiring - black to black, white to white, and green to green or bare wire. Use screw (from parts bag) to secure wiring plate to fan housing. Re-install wiring panel and secure with screw from parts bag.
   
7. Mount fan to ceiling structure.
   Mount housing to ceiling structure with appropriate fasteners in locations shown.
   
8. Connect 4-in. round duct. 
   
   1. Pull existing ducting through housing discharge opening and
