WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address
or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. Acceptable for use over a tub or shower (PTE511RK and
PTE1115RK models only) when connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch circuit.
3. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
4. Use only ON/OFF switch, mechanical timer or relay-switched
control.
5. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service
panel and lock the service disconnecting 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.
6. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and
standards.
7. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s 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.
8. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
9. This unit must be grounded.
10. Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended
by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D
printer).

The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and
energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straighest duct routing possible for best performance,
and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts
can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not
achieve their rated airflow.
6-inch round rigid metal duct is recommended for best performance.
11. Monitor your fan for unusual sounds, smells and smoke. If any
appear, turn off the fan immediately and replace it.
12. When performing service, maintenance and installation work,
gloves and safety glasses are recommended.
13. Do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
