NuTone LB-14 SERIES Installation Instructions

Recess-Mounted
Door Chime
MODEL: LB-14 SERIES
• Your NuTone Door Chime is designed for two-door
operation. For best results, use NuTone Model 101T
Transformer.
• Handle the door chime carefully as you would any
precision instrument.
• Comply with local wiring codes when installing the
door chime.
• If upon completion of the installation the chime does not
operate, check your installation against these instructions.
If the chime still does not operate, check the pushbutton(s)
for poor contact or loose connections and wiring for
short circuits.
• If chime plungers should ever become sluggish in their
movement, clean the plungers with a nonflammable
cleaning fluid and wipe dry. CAUTION: NEVER OIL
CHIME PLUNGERS.

mounted in the metal mounting frame. Remove the
cardboard plaster shield and remove the chime mechanism
from the frame by freeing one side and sliding to the side.
NEW CONSTRUCTION

the frame firmly in position.
