WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit in the manner intended by the manufac-
turer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
2. Before installation, servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at the service panel and lock the service discon-
necting means to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally. When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes including fire rated construction.
4. Sufficient air is need
ed
for proper combustion and ex-
hausting of gasses through the flue (chimney) or fuel
burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturers guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities
5. When cutting or drilling into wall and ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
8. This fan should only be used with the fan speed control
provided by ABBAKA for this model. The ventilator must be
installed such that the exhaust discharge is 12” minimum from
the ground level. However there may be some local codes that
do not permit this type of installation. Heavy snowfall may
prevent the damper from opening due to snow blockage. In-
staller should check local codes for outdoor wall installation.
Caution: For general ventilation use only. Do not use to
exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
Installation Tips
1. For lowest noise operation, place 1 elbow between the range
hood and the ventilator. Install an optional ABBAKA Accoustical
Duct Silencer.
2. Select an installation location that is free of obstacles such as
heating and air conditioning ducts, stand pipes, electrical wiring,
etc.
3. Position discharge of the ventilator downward and away from
prevailing winds to minimize backdrafts.
4. For best appearance, locate the fan on the rear of the house,
below the top of roof line.
