PLAN THE INSTALLATION

The unit will operate 

most quietly and 

efficiently when 

located where the 

shortest possible 

duct run and 

minimum number 

of elbows will be 

needed.
Use a roof cap or 

wall cap that has a 

built-in damper to 

reduce backdrafts.
Plan to supply the 

unit with proper 

line voltage and 

appropriate power 

cable.
