NOTE:

 If the fan motor plug is connected to the fan

housing receptacle, unplug so the blower assembly can
be completely removed.

2. Run wiring from an approved wall switch carrying the

appropriate rating. One neutral (white), one ground
(green or bare copper), and one hot (black lead
connected to the switch). Secure the electrical wires
to the housing with an approved electrical connector.
Make sure you leave enough wiring in the box to make
the connection to the fan’s receptacle.

3. From where you have chosen to access the fan’s

junction box, connect the white wire from the house
to the white wire from the fan’s receptacle. Connect
the black wire from the wall switch to the black wire
from the fan’s receptacle. Connect the ground wire
from the house to the green wire from the fan housing

(Figure 10)

. Use approved methods for all connections.

NOTE:

 The fan’s receptacle wires might need to be pulled

outside compartment for connection. Only pull the three
loose wires outside of compartment. Additional wires
will be present.

the wiring process, reinstall the blower by reversing
the directions in 

Section 4

 (Wiring)

, Step 1b.

2. Plug the fan’s quick connect motor cord into the

receptacle. This cord will only fit one way into the
receptacle 

(Figure 11)

.

3. Install the ceiling mounting flange to cover any gaps

which exist between the housing and the finished
ceiling. Line up the slots in the ceiling mounting
flange with the screws on the inside of the housing
and press flange in place so it is tight against the
ceiling. Tighten both screws inside the housing.
Install drywall screws (not included) through the
holes in the flange and into the ceiling. Install as
many drywall screws needed to ensure the flange
fits tightly against the ceiling 

(Figure 12)

.

4. Install the grill by squeezing the two ends of the

springs together and installing them up into the slots
on the fan’s housing. Push the grill up into position
