IMPORTANT: Carefully read these instructions
before you install or operate your new whole house
fan. Proper installation is important to achieve
maximum cooling efficiency. It is necessary to pro-
vide adequate ventilation to meet minimum exhaust
requirements. This prevents pressure build-up in
the attic which will reduce the fan's efficiency. Refer
to the ventilation work sheet on the back page of
this instruction sheet to determine the exhaust air
requirements.
