PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLING THIS FAN

The WhisperGreen line of ventilating fans employs state of the art technology

providing a number of unique features that lead to improved indoor air quality.
These features need to be fully understood prior to installation to fully realize the
benefits the fans offer.

These fans are designed to run continuously

ensuring a healthy environment at low CFM levels 24 hours a day.By utilizing

a pre-set lower level(0,30,40,50,60,70 CFM).The setting is dependent on the

size of the room and the individual wishes of the homeowner.

These fans are also built to take care of the homeowner's spot ventilation needs

when the room is occupied.These models kick-up to a maximum level of 80
CFM either when the switch is turned on(FV-08VKSL2)or activated by the

fans.These fans utilize

microchip technology that monitors the

static pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan

depending on the amount of resistance.This allows the fan to perform as rated,
whether facing 0.1,0.2 or even 0.25 inches water gauge.The bottom line is that
